Mixing naproxen and acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) is generally not recommended without medical supervision, as both are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and can increase the risk of gastrointestinal side effects, such as bleeding or ulcers. It's important to consult with a healthcare professional before combining these medications to ensure safety and to discuss potential alternatives for pain relief.

This just happened to me today. I tool Aleve last night for the first time and within hours my bottom lip swelled to double its normal size, my eye lids, my nose and my left ear, strangely swelled as well. My doctor told me to double up on Zyrtec or any antihistamine and double Benadryl at night. He said if the symptoms dont dissipate in 24 hours to come in for a cortozone shot.
Is naproxen effective for endometriosis?
In my opinion the answer is no. I have endometriosis and part of the problem with taking Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID's) is that you have to take them before you get the pain, so in order for them to have the full affect you need to be psychic. They should be taken 24 hours before you generally have you worst pain (ovulation, menstuation). Now if you are lucky (unlucky enough depending on your perspective) to have a regular cycle thats not too bad other than remembering to take them while you may have minimal symptoms, however if you have irregular perios you may have to take them for a week or more in anticipation of the bad days. This means with endo if you experience your really bad pain at ovulation and menstruation you could be taking ulcer causing, stomach destroying painkillers for 3 weeks of the month. Not the best.
Can you take Ibuprofen and naproxen together?
Don't ask the internet, ask your doctor.
While sites such as this one and other types of search engines make finding answers easy and fast, I believe it is in the general public's best interest to leave medical opinions to trained professionals such as doctors or pharmacists.
Due to countless variables from person to person, you should never try to self- diagnose or medicate. I work at an Urgent Care and my least favorite thing to hear is "I looked up my symptoms online and I think I have _____." In most cases, what patients are actually suffering from turns out to be fairly minor or substantially more severe than they thought. Many answers are based on personal experience or second hand information, which may have been the proper plan of treatment for the author's diagnosis. Going to your PCP or specialist frequently does not make you and expert and you should always consider the following: Your opinions could lead to serious injury or death.
An opinion,
No! They contain similar medicines and having both in your system at the same time can result in an overdose. So therefore, just take the Aleve, or the ibuprofin. Not both.
Side effects include a slight increase in the chance of stomach bleeding.
Another Opinion
Yes. Although they contain similar medicines (NSAIDs), there are no known adverse interactions between the two. I asked this question of my doctor after having ACL surgery on my knee, recovery from which was quite painful for a stretch. He said that using different pain medications concurrently can actually have a complementary effect. Some combinations are to be avoided, such as naproxen and aspirin, but this one is OK. Note that you should still be mindful of the combined dosage, as the possible gastrointestinal side effects of these two drugs are similar. In other words, nothing wrong with using them together, but don't take the full dose of both. I usually take one ibuprofen and one naproxen and it works great.
A Third Opinion
No. Naproxen Sodium and almost all other NSAIDs are metabolized in the kidneys. Combining NSAIDs can over time do some serious damage to your kidneys. While overdosing is a concern taking normal dosages generally will not result in a deadly combination but can cause cramping, stomach bleeding, a marked drop in blood pressure, dizziness, and/or fatigue.
Conversely, Acetaminophen is metabolized in the liver and can be combined with NSAIDs without any real problems.
4th Opinion
yes! i have two ruptured discs, and have been prescribed both naproxen and ibuprofen, as well as percocet and tramadol, and all is well! i prefer taking the naproxen with tramadol or a percocet and it works pretty well. i havent had any stomach or kidney problems (including upsets or pains), although it has been a while since my kidneys in particular were checked out for anything unnoticed.
Can you take Aleve if you are on 5 mg of warfarin?
It's not a good idea to take Aleve while on Warfarin.
Essentially, Aleve is brand name naproxen. Naproxen, as well as other Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) slow the clotting of blood. Generally, that isn't a problem. However, you're also taking Warfarin, which is a blood thinner.
Taking these two drugs together can make you bleed more easily, and slow the clotting time when you start. You're better off taking a pain killer that isn't Naproxen, like Tylenol, which is Acetaminophen. I wouldn't take Ibuprofen, as it is also an NSAID.
If you're pain isn't mild, as in, it's too strong to be mended with Tylenol, I'd call a doctor. You don't want to mess around with your bloods clotting speed.
If you have a prescription for the Xanax - otherwise you are taking your life in your hands playing around with someone else's medication.
Can you take Aleve with ultram?
If ultram isn't ridding you of your pain aleve certainly will not help. I was on ultram for eight years and it worked for mild pain. I've taken Aleve a few times and it did absolutely nothing. But to answer your question I can take aleve with ultram with no problem.
