Yes and No. . .
The "Yes" part:
They are both Non-Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs (NSAID), but the 81 mg aspirin ("low dose") is typically given to help prevent heart attack and/or stroke. Because 81mg is significantly below the recommended dose for pain relief from aspirin, you can take ibuprofen the same day. However, you want to be careful not to take ibuprofen too often and not to take it in larger than recommended doses. It can cause gastrointestinal problems (stomach ulcers, etc.) and occasionally can cause some liver problems if taken repeatedly and at high doses.
The "No" part:
If a person is taking 81mg aspirin to prevent heart attacks, etc., ibuprofen could potentially lessen the anti-clotting effect of aspirin. It is wise not to take ibuprofen with aspirin if the aspirin is being taken for an anti-coagulation purpose.
Conclusion: You can take ibuprofen with 81mg aspirin, but do not do it often or for an extended amount of time.
*Note: If you took a pain-relief dose of aspirin, such as 325 mg, you would not want to take ibuprofen unless directed to by your practitioner.
ALSO: Make sure to verify with your doctor it is alright to take ibuprofen if you are on other medications. If a person is taking other medications that significantly affect the liver/kidneys or gastrointestinal tract, ibuprofen may not be recommended.

∙ 10y agoYou can occasionally for a short time, but it is not advisable (unless a doctor has told you otherwise) - as this combination irritates the stomach lining, which can increase the risk of stomach ulcers and bleeding.

If I had an allergic reaction to naproxen would Ibuprofen also cause the same reactions or are they different?
Aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen,& acetaminophen are different substances Although they are different there is in incresed liklihood you will be allergic to ibuprobin as well. I recently developed an allergy to both and have an identcal reaction (itchy welts on face). I had a reaction to Naproxen. Hives, itchy and swelling, but to this day I can take ibuprofen with no problems.
Could Aleve cause bleeding the same as aspirin?
No. Aleve does have an anti-platelet effect but it's shorter in duration than that provided by aspirin. Further, it will interfere with the anti-platelet effect of aspirin if taken in parallel with aspirin.
Is naproxen sodium an anti-inflammatory?
Yes, naproxen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug.
Does naproxen have aspirin?
Naproxen sodium and aspirin are different from each other. Naproxen sodium is what is known as an NSAID (a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug). Naproxen sodium is used to treat moderate to severe pain, fever, inflammation and stiffness. Naproxen sodium is sold under many brands, some of which are: Aleve, Anaprox, Miranax, Naprogesic, Naprosyn, Naprelan, Proxen, Synflex. Aspirin however, is a salicylate drug and is usually used to relieve minor aches and pains, to reduce fever, and as an anti-inflammatory drug. In most countries, Aspirin is sold under the Aspirin brand name.

Can you take naproxen and sudafed together?
For a short time in a reasonable dose.If you are generally healthy, you can take the recommended dosages of naproxen (Aleve) and aspirin together for a few days. If you are prone to stomach, bleeding, or kidney problems, don't do it. But you probably know that already.If you depend on low-dose aspirin for your heart health, ask your doctor. Naproxen can cancel out the benefits of the aspirin.Do NOT take ibuprofen (Motrin/Advil) with aspirin. This is the NSAID that is implicated in most serious interactions with aspirin."We, therefore, conclude that the metabolic interaction, although real, results in changes of such small magnitude as to be of no clinical significance.Together?You should NOT take aspirin and naproxen sodium simultaneously.You can google on naproxen sodium side effects and get tons of info.AnswerI wouldn't. If naproxen isn't solving the problem you might want to get some medical attention. That's some pretty strong stuff and it should take care of most minor pain and inflamation.

Can you take aspirin while taking adderall?
(Note: Not all drug interactions are known or reported in the literature, and new drug interactions are continually being reported. This information is provided only for your education and for you to discuss with your personal healthcare provider. ) There is no documentation of interactions between aleve and Ritalin or aspirin and Ritalin. But there is a negative interaction if you take aspirin and aleve at the same time. ASPIRIN may interact with NAPROXEN (in Aleve) Naproxen is broken down by the liver and removed from the body in the urine. If this happens too quickly, then potentially less naproxen would be available for the body to use and blood levels could become too low. This could make naproxen less effective. Aspirin may cause naproxen to be broken down at a faster rate than normal. Based on information from a number of studies, this does not appear to have a significant impact on the therapeutic effect of naproxen. However, both of these drugs can cause stomach irritation and may potentially damage the lining of the stomach. The risk of experiencing these side effects may be increased when aspirin and naproxen are taken at the same time. You may want to ask your healthcare provider about this potential interaction if you think you are having problems. This interaction is poorly documented and is considered minor in severity.

Does naproxen have pencillin in it?
Not even close. naproxen is same as aleve (NSAID for pain/inflammation...) penicillin = antibiotic
Can you take Aleve and Aspirin 6 hours apart?
You should wait at least 6 hours after naproxen if you want to take ibuprofen or any other anti-inflammatory drug... The mechanism of action is the same... you won't get any additional benefit by taking ibuprofen before that 6 hours. You'll only have more side effects.
