I just found out a couple weeks ago that I was allergic to acetaminophen. I took it as a kid, but now in my early twenties I get hives, swelling and itching in my entire body, as well as dizziness. My body turns entirely red. Very scary. I generally take Alleve (naproxin) and Advil (ibuprofen) now so it took me awhile to realize this allergy. I went to the doctor and got confirmation.
I still take Alleve and Advil with only positive outcomes.
It's possible to be allergic to the binders that they put into Tylenol and other medicines, so if you are allergic to medicine that isn't acetaminophen, that could be the case.
Im no doctor, but to answer your question directly: Yes you can take Naproxin.
Yes completely safe Unless you have allergies to either one... I advise no drinking on either one, for 2 reason one because alcohol and drugs can cause serious side effects or death, and 2 because alcohol interacts with Penicillin causing the medicine not to work as efficiently as it should when your not drinking!
No. Naproxen is just that,..Naproxen only. In a class of drugs called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID)'s. Many other drugs are sometimes combined with naproxen and should be clearly labeled. I am not aware of any medications currently on the market with a naproxen/penicillin combination.
There is no relation between penicllin allergy and naproxen allergy. If you don't have naproxen (or other anti inflammatory drugs) allergy, you can take it.
Not even close. naproxen is same as aleve (NSAID for pain/inflammation...) penicillin = antibiotic
No. Naproxen is in Aleve.
