What Causes Genital Herpes After Taking Naproxen?
I was prescribed naproxen for an inured ankle two weeks ago and ever since Ive been taking it , I have had a genital herpes outbreak from hell..I went years without any outbreak at all.. I also became severly nauseated and exessive sweating when I take it. I believe I am illergic to naproxen, but have outbreaks and naproxen been linked?

Hi,
The genital herpes outbreak do not seem to be related to Naproxen use. Very likely it is a new outbreak even though it is years you do not have one. Herpes can sleep in our nerves and reactivate unpredictably.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
