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.

∙ 13y agoNaproxen is not ibuprofen (otherwise it would be called ibuprofen), but they are in the same class and very similar in almost every way, the only big difference is that naproxen lasts longer so you don't have to take it together
I'm going to take a wild stab at why you ask, you are wondering if you can take one with the other, no you can not, it would be just the same as doubling up on either one, you can get an bad ulcer, go into renal failure, all sorts of bad things

∙ 13y agoAsprin is the same as Sodium Salicylate but not the same as Sodium Salicylic
the ending of -ate says that the carboxylic acid has been deprotonated created a charge which can then have and electrostatic interaction with the sodium ion (Na+)
The reason for this is to allow the drug to crystallize in a stable form which can then be put into a dry pill and/or extend the shelf life. This is a common practice with drugs.

∙ 12y agoNo, naproxen doesn't contain aspirin. Naproxen is a non steroidal anti-inflammatory and it can have similar effects of aspirin.

What was your hypothesis when you did which pain reliever dissolves the fastest?
i recently did this project and our hypothesis was that out of our four pain relievers (naproxen sodium - like aleve, acetaminophen - like tylenol, aspirin, and ibuprofen - like motrin), naproxen sodium would take the longest to dissolve while ibuprofen and acetaminophen would dissolve the quickest. our hypothesis was proved partially right: naproxen sodium did take the longest to dissolve. however, aspirin was the quickest, not acetaminophen and ibuprofen.
