Is the lactose in cows milk the same as the lactose in naproxen tablets ? Thanks?

Yes it is and it can affect you if you are lactose intolerant. When I had meningitis they had to fine lacto free drugs as my body was fighting enough without having to deal with intolerances.
At present I’m taking naproxen for knee replacement which I have found lactose in them. This is causing me to produce mucous in my nose and throat mostly and the longer I take the worse it gets. It’s not life threatening for me and it’s best to try and find lactose free if you can. Hope this helps

Hi Donna, yes it is, it is just another sugar and a useful binding agent. Finding Lactose free medication may be quite a challenge but it is not really present in sufficient quantities to affect lactose intolerant people I would have thought.
