Aleve (Naproxen)

it is not a good idea to mix apap and alcohol. it makes you drowsy and works a number on your liver.

The short answer is yes. Adderall, as a stimulant increases blood pressure. Aleve, however, is not an ibuprofen-based painkiller. Ibuprofen is a blood thinner, which would not combine well with a drug that increases blood pressure. Because Aleve functions as an anti-inflammatory, it reduces the constriction of blood flow to a more standard state, as opposed to thinning the blood for more easier passage. The targeted areas for Aleve are those only under inflammation, but thinned blood will make its way through all parts of the body. When on any drug that increases blood pressure, a blood thinner is ill-advised. Although acetaminophen, or Tylenol, is also an anti-inflammatory, it is harmful for your liver. Many prespecription drugs already cause liver damage, though relatively mild. Aleve appears, in fact, to be the best option.

I have read that Naproxen could be taken as both, but in general at the first sign of pain take Naproxen immediately.

There are many conditions that the medicine known as Aleve is used for. The medicine called Aleve is used for conditions such as arthritis, migraines, and backaches.

You should separate them by about 3 hours. Naproxen is going to be the stronger pain killer here. Take that first. It will last about 12 hours, and will take care of both pain and inflammation. Have some food before you take it, because it's hard on the stomach.

No, Aleve contains Naproxen Sodium which is a stronger class of NSAID (Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drug).

Tylenol contains Acetaminophen which is an Analgesic.

They are used for different conditions and treat different symptoms.

The information leaflet that comes with each respective drug states such.

Yes, naproxen (naprosyn or alleve) can be taken in conjunction with muscle relaxants (Flexiril) to achieve a more effective dissolution of pain

ughh, im on naproxen too, for tendonitis and its crap im in more pain now than i ever was before :(

My wife has been advised by her OB-GYN that you should not take Aleve while pregnant. It has been linked to kidney development problems in the fetus and possibly miscarriages. Her OB-GYN provided her with an entire list of medicines that she could/could not have. Tylenol was her only option!

No; naproxen is not chemically related to any of the drugs used to treat ADHD.

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.

The chemical formula of naproxen is C14H14O3.

Shalom means peace, but "aleve a" is not Hebrew, so I can't translate it.

'Sulfa drug' is a name for the class of drugs known as sulfonamides. They do contain sulfur atoms in them but they also have many other atoms. The first sulfonamide, Prontosil, actually breaks down into a simpler molecule (its a prodrug) called sulfanilamide. It is a benzene ring with a amino group (NH2) and sulfonamide group on opposite sides (1,4 positions). This sulfonamide group has a sulfur atom attached to the benzene ring and then has an amino (NH2) and two double-bonded oxygen atoms attached to this sulfur atom.

By taking a simple sulfonic acid like methylsulfonic acid (H3C-S(O)2-OH) and chlorinating to methylsulfonyl chloride (H3C-S(O)2-Cl) allows you to react it with ammonia (NH3) to get a simple sulfonamide, methylsulfonamide (H3C-S(O)2-NH2)

These drugs were prolific antiobiotics before the advent of pencillin and its relatives (During the 1930's). Dr.Z

My friend swears that if you take 3 Aleve, it will put you right to sleep. I tried it the other night and it worked like taking a sleeping pill. 3 is the magic number...no more no less.

Are you kidding?! Naproxene is just another form of ibuprofen and does nothing to interrupt the interpretation of pain, on the other hand, Hydrocodone is narcotic based, and re-sends your pain signals to the great beyond. In essence, the answer unfortunately is absolutelyNO!

1-2 tablets (25-50 mg) benadryl. Go to ER if difficulty with breathing, swallowing, etc. occurs.

you can take a million. whats stopping you? i guess a full stomach... youre weird.

(that doesn't mean you're going to live through it)

Chlorthalid is that's a high blood pressure and water pill

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).

No it will not affect birth control as long as you take the Naproxen orally with water and lemon juice. Then you will be fine :-)

First let me qualify my statements: I'm am an MD, anesthesiologist quite therefore knowledgeable of the heart. Also, I've suffered a-fib and stable atrial arrhythmia for over 20 yrs and recently rare PvC's . Recently been significantly more arrythmogenic and realized they were PVCs about 4/minute and occasional couplets. A month in I also realized that I'd started taking Naproxyn Sodium 500mg prn for neck pain and had started it about a week before my new pattern of arrhythmias. Web research showed relatively small but significant correlation so I stopped taking. I now have severe neck pain and arm numbness but my PVCs have all but disappeared, decreasing over days to none or maybe rare now. For me by my own realization and objective research YES to your question but perhaps one's heart must be prone to arrhythmia in the first place. Either way there seems to be an association to consider. H.A., MD, New York

strep throught naproxen

Can you take Darvacet and Naprosen during the same day?
