Aleve and ibuprofen are not the same. Aleve is a brand of naproxen. However, both ibuprofen and naproxen function as pain relievers, anti-inflammatory medications, and fever reducers.
Motrin is a trademarked name for ibuprofen owned by Johnson & Johnson.
They are all the same.
I would recommend against taking midol and aleve together if on the active ingredients listed includes either naproxen or ibuprofen. This is because naproxen is the same drug as aleve and ibuprofen works in a similar fashion as naproxen. Taking aleve with either of these two ingredients in your midol may produce an overdose.
ibuprofen
It's etodolac, an NSAID... Same therapeutic class as ibuprofen or aleve.
No; there is no penicillin in ibuprofen.
Yup
Aleve is naproxin sodium, chemically unrelated to the other NSAIDs.
NO. ALEVE does not contain ibuprofen. ALEVE should not be taken with ibuprofen or any other pain reliever, unless your doctor has instructed you to do so. Do not take ALEVE if you have had either hives, facial swelling, asthma, or shock after taking any pain reliever/fever reducer. You may have a serious reaction. ALEVE contains naproxen sodium, 220 mg. ALEVE contains 200 mg of naproxen and 20 mg of sodium (salt) to help your body absorb ALEVE more quickly. It helps you feel pain relief faster than with naproxen alone.
No they are not. They are in a different class caled NSAID's
No, Aleve is a NSAID (non steroidal anti inflammatory), while flexeril is a muscle relaxant that blocks nerve impulses that are being sent to the brain.
It can cause a false positive for marijuana. Aleve can too.
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.
It's an allergic reaction. I have the same thing.
