Difference between Endometriosis and Naproxen

Endometriosis vs. Naproxen

Endometriosis is a condition in which the endometrium, the layer of tissue that normally covers the inside of the uterus, grows outside of it. Naproxen (brand names: Aleve, Naprosyn, and many others) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) of the propionic acid class (the same class as ibuprofen) that relieves pain, fever, swelling, and stiffness.

Similarities between Endometriosis and Naproxen

Endometriosis and Naproxen have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): Central nervous system, COX-2 inhibitor, Dysmenorrhea, Gastrointestinal tract, Ibuprofen, Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug.
