Can you take naproxen and sulfamethoxazole together?
Naproxen is essentially ibuprofen, so no you should not take it if you're allergic to ibuprofen. Basically, stay away from drugs that are in the same family as ibuprofen, because you could have an allergic reaction to those medications as well.. For example, ibuprofen is a NSAID, so you should stay away from other NSAID medicines such as, aspirin, naproxen, celecoxib, etc.

Can you take Ibuprofen if allergic to aspirin?
In low dosages, yes it is safe. There are restrictions on who can take these drugs and when/with what other medications, but that is a whole different topic altogether. A The combination of a salicylate (aspirin) and ibuprofen (which are both NSAIDs) may increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. It is advised to not take these two medications together at the same time, especially in high doses. If both medications are needed / required; Ibuprofen should be administered 30-120 minutes after, or at least 8 hours before, aspirin. It is also advised to talk to your doctor when combining these two drugs. Also, aspirin and ibuprofen cancel out each others effects and shouldn't be taken together. -Aspirin is taken to prevent heart attacks and strokes. Like ibuprofen it also relieves fever, pain and inflammation. -Ibuprofen is taken to relive pain, fever and inflammation with less effect on platelets According to the Mayo Clinic (related link) taking ibuprofen greatly reduces the benefits of daily aspirin therapy. The best advice is almost always TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR. If the use of both drugs is unavoidable, use aspirin first, then wait for 4 hours before using ibuprofen. Answer: You shouldn't be mixing aspirin with anything, or mixing ibuprofin with anything. Aspirin has been known to cause Reys Syndrome in children under 19. Follow the dosages on the box with the aspirin or the ibuprofin. I don't recommend taking both together, unless specifically told so by a doctor. Ibuprofin can cause stomach bleeding in large doses, so choose wisely. Use of aspirin with other pain relievers (such as Tylenol, ibuprofen, naproxen sodium, ketoprofen or prescription pain relievers) is not recommended, unless directed by your doctor.

Can you take cyclobenzaprine if you are allergic to Ibuprofen?
You should really ask your doctor, however both medications do different things. Cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril) is a muscle relaxant and ibuprophen is an NSAID (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug) Both are prescribed together sometimes. If the Flexeril is not your prescription, it is highly recommended that you ask a doctor if this medication is okay for you to take. There are other reasons why you maybe should not take it. Since the ibuprophen is an over the counter drug, it is up to you if you want to take it. Even though medications are OTC, this does not mean they are harmless. In fact, if you do not NSAIDs with food, they can cause serious damage..even blood loss through your intestinal tract. Even if you do take them with food, sometimes damage will occur. Pay attention to any abdominal pain and changes in the appearance of your stools.
