Can you take Aleve with Ibuprofen?

Answer 1

Can I take Aleve with 800 mg of ibuprofen for my Back pain?

i don't know but i just did on an empty stomach

i guess we will find out what happens..............

VERY BAD IDEA. aleve & ibuprifen belong to the same class of drugs-NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). if you are taking the maximun dose of each drug you are essentially "overdosing". these drugs carry the risk of causing gastointestinal bleeding, so you'd be upping ante on this.

Answer 2

Nothing will physically stop you, but Advil (Ibuprofen) and Aleve (Naproxen Sodium) are both anti-inflammatory NSAIDs. Too many of them can lead to disruption of the lining of the stomach and can cause pain/bleeding of the stomach. More so, it's recommended to take Aleve if for the purpose of something chronic (since it's traditionally a 12-hour active drug) versus Advil since it is a shorter duration (taking 1 to 2 tablets every 4-6 hours). Advice would be to pick either one and not to double up on the drug (otherwise, you can risk hurting yourself). However, don't confuse them with acetaminophen (Tylenol)- that's the drug that CAN seriously effect someone's liver.
it depends how long ago u took aleve because if you take them 1 after another most likely it'll be an overdose because ibuprofen is very strong and if your thinking it'll make you'll heal faster you thought wrong so i suggest just to take 1
Doctors do not recommend for patients to take two Anti-Inflammatories at the same time. Use one or the other. They are both make to provide the same action. So it would just be a waste of time to take then in conjunction of one another. Now if you would Ike to know which of the two would provide better relief, Aleve would be the way to go.

Answer 3

these are the same medication naproxen is the generic for aleve

Answer 4

Yes, you can take naproxen (aleve / Naprosyn) with Tylenol (acetaminophen). There is no interaction between those 2 drugs.
