Heres one for all u nurses/doctors out there...?

I am a registered nurse. I would recommend that you take the Naproxen about a half hour before your MRI. It gets uncomfortable lying still on that flat stretcher for the time required. The reason you should not take Naproxen (the OTC version is Aleve.) before the hot tub is that you might have an unsafe lowering of your blood pressure while in the tub. I don't think you will be "loopy" if you take the prescribed dosage of the medication. Good luck.

Usually drugs are not administered durning or prior to an MRI.

I wouldn't count on making it on time if at all if you are scheduled to take it at a hospital. There is no reason to be loopy most of the time no medication is given. And Naproxen isn't a powerful pain reliver. Yes us should avoid aspirin and hot tubs. When you take the Naproxen shouldn't matter.

An MRI doesn't have any side effects. You can take the Naproxen ( Its and anti inflamatory like Ibuprofen only stronger) as usual.

i had 5 mri's on my lower back, it takes 45min. - 1hour. no drugs are used. so figure the waiting time for you to get into the mri, you mite be looking at 2 hours time total. i had surgery on my lower back 14year ago. i getting ready to do it again. i would never wish back problems on anyone, good luck, hope it not as bad as mine.

hi. u can safely take the drug thats for sure. regarding attending concert there is no problem provided u get free early after MRI

No drugs will be used for your test.

The MRI machine will take pictures of you internally, that show up as thousands of photos that show cross sections of your body.

No drugs will be administered

naproxen sodium is aleve.. dont worry about it....
