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.

Can you mix Aleve and Zyrtec?

Usually, yes, with no problem, and you can drive, too. However, I found if I downed aleve & Zyrtec all at once/together, I became really drowsy/fatigued. This only happened today, and I fell asleep for approx. 3 hours from 11:45am-2:52pm. If you take zyrtec (or aleve...1-2 pills for aleve, 1 for ALL day for zyrtec), space one of them apart. For instance, take the zyrtec (or aleve) first, wait 1-2+ hours, then take the aleve (or zyrtec). Spacing it out a bit leaves no reaction, at least in my experience. (also I am 25/Female, if that makes any difference...I take them both due to allergic reactions to bug bites/mosquito bites, & headaches/muscle aches).


Is there aspirin in Aleve?

No, Aleve (naproxen sodium) does not contain aspirin; however, it is an NSAID and is an anti-inflammatory, as is aspirin. It does have some blood thinning properties and can upset the stomach, as can aspirin. They should not be taken together. No. The active ingredient in Aleve is naproxen (in the prescription meds, Naprosyn and Anaprox).

How does the drug Aleve affect the brain?

Aleve, or naproxen, does not really have any affect on the brain. It does have a slight affect on the clotting of the blood, somewhat similar to aspirin, but not as strong. You do not want to take it for prolonged periods of time because it can lead to heart attack or stroke.


What other aspirins can you take that do not have aspirin?

Aspirin is Aspirin. When people say "Take an Aspirin," they are actually referencing the drug itself. If your question is "What other Over the Counter pain reliever/blood thinners can I take that do not contain Aspirin," then I would have to ask what purpose you need it for. As for Pain Relievers, anything containing Acetaminophen/Paracetamol (Tylenol), Ibuprofen (Advil), or Naproxen Sodium (Aleve) may be of some help. If you're looking for an OTC Blood Thinner, Aspirin is your best bet, however Ibuprofen may also be of some help.
