I have this pill, I know it is Naproxen 500mg. It is light pink, oblong, 93 on one and 149 on the other. What can this be compared to? Does it have codeine, acetaminophin, or hydrocodone in it?

Naproxen

Naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug.  It's used to treat arthritis and other painful conditions that cause painful swelling and inflammation.

Your pill imprinted 93 149 can be compared to Naprosyn, the brand name.  There is nothing else in the pill - no codeine, no acetaminophen and no hydrocodone.
