I have been taking Daypro (oxaprozine) 600mg for osteoarthritis for about 8 years now. This is in the nonsteroidal anti inflammatory family of drugs. I have not heard it mentioned in any of all this hoopla. Anyone have any information on Daypro and the long term use?

Your spelling is a little off. Check related links as well as enter the following :

oxaprozin, adverse effects

Try that in the first link below. There were 45 citations for oxaprozin, adverse effects. This is the first of the 45. I didn't look at the other 44. The main risk from all NSAIDS is ulcers with GI bleeding and kidney failure. That's why getting this stuff over the counter is problematic for people that take them on a chronic basis. You need to see a doc periodically to make sure that there isn't occult blood in your stool and to check your blood. Daypro, oxaprozin, came off smelling like a rose in this citation, BTW.

Spontaneous reports of hypertension leading to hospitalisation in association with rofecoxib, celecoxib, nabumetone and oxaprozin.

If some words leave you stumped, here's Dorland's Medical Dictionary.
