Aleve is naproxen, which is an NSAID or Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug. It can be perfectly safe as long as you follow the directions. You should not take NSAIDs if you have a history of stomach ulcers, because these drugs can be hard on your stomach. You should not take it if you are on a blood thinner like Coumadin, because NSAIDs can also cause blood thinning, and taking both can cause internal bleeding.

So long as you don't fit into those categories, NSAIDs are good for relieving pain with inflammation, such as Arthritis, sprains or strains, rheumatism or bursitis, and other types of deep joint or muscle pain. Take this medicine with food because of the stomach upset side effect.

Yes and No. While there are no interactions, you would be taking two drugs of the same class (NSAIDS). This is pointless and possibly will result in an overdose.

Take one or the other (in the recommended dose) but not both.
