ibuprofen and Naproxen are the same thing, both an hormonal, anti inflammatory and are the same active drug but in a slightly different form Naproxen being moderately stronger. Vicodin has AP in it generally in the 320-750 range which is very similar to the active In Naproxen, but it has Hydrocodon which is the narcotic, which is an opiate and a strong one at that, this giving the "narcotic Affect". You will not have similar affects taking The two together any where near Vicodin, and i would be very careful with taking them together low dosages 500 Naproxen and 400-600 Ibuprofen is the max and defiantly not good for your stomach make sure you take food to reduce damage.

Does acetaminophen thin blood?
I found this: Ibuprofen does not thin the blood like aspirin does. At higher doses of ibuprofen(ie. 800 mg three times a day) there can be a potential for thinning of the blood but it is a "reversible" effect where as aspirin has an "irreversible" effect. If you are only taking over the counter doses once or twice a day there is probably no clinically significant thinning. Aspirin can be taken daily to help protect the heart by preventing blood clots. Ibuprofen does not have the same effects. ---- Fresh evidence adds to suspicions that ibuprofen could be dangerous for most heart patients because it can block the blood-thinning benefits of aspirin. Scientists believe ibuprofen clogs a channel inside a clotting protein that aspirin acts on. Aspirin gets stuck behind the ibuprofen and cannot get to where it is supposed to go to thin the blood.
What is the different between narcotics and medication?
It depends on the purpose for which the narcotic is being used, and how it was obtained. Certain narcotics can be considered medication, but only if a doctor prescribes them. Doctors will sometimes write a prescription for a narcotic when a patient has intense pain. The drug is considered medication under that circumstance because you will take it for a specific period of time and only under the doctor's supervision.But even a doctor knows that narcotics can be addictive, so your use of the medication is supposed to be monitored and you will be expected to only take the amount the doctor prescribed. On the other hand, if you obtained the narcotic without a prescription and are using it just to get high, or because you are an addict, then that is not considered medication. It is considered the illegal use of an addictive substance.
