Aleve (Naproxen)

Vicodin is a prescription pain reliever made of hydrocodone and acetaminophen. Naproxen is an over the counter pain reliever, commercially sold as Aleve. The difference between the two is that Vicodin is much stronger and is a prescription medication, while naproxen is sold in pharmacies and is essentially as strong as Tylenol.

It would make far more sense and you would receive a far more accurate answer if you spoke to your friend about this.

No, the two drugs are entirely different chemically and purposefully. Codeine is also a narcotic!

whatever is snorted passes through the nasal cavity, then proceeds to the lungs, like anything you inhale.

Most people do not have trouble with taking NSAIDS even if they do have asthma. If your asthma is very severe and not controlled well with medication, you should check with your doctor before you take any over the counter medicines. As many as 20% of people with severe allergies and asthma can be allergic to aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. If you are one of them, taking naproxen or aspirin might trigger a really severe asthma attack.

According to the FDA and the manufacturer (Roche Laboratories Inc, Nutley, NJ), naproxen is Pregnancy Category C, especially during the last 3 months of pregnancy. Pregnant women should consult their physicians before taking naproxen.

i have thyriod and im taking naproxen and the naproxen makes me feel weried and dizzy is it normal

You should not take Aleve before a breast biopsy. Your radiologist will normally advise you to avoid all NSAIDS (Aleve, Motrin, Advil, and others) for a few days before and after the biopsy. Contact your health care provider for advice specific to your situation.

Oh, what a lovely question! It's always important to talk to your doctor or pharmacist before combining medications. They can give you the best guidance to ensure you're taking care of yourself in the best way possible. Remember, your health is a beautiful masterpiece, so let's make sure we treat it with the utmost care and respect.

Oh yeah definitely. When the chemical compound from beer "Ethanol" is mixed with "Naproxen" it provides a very short spurt (often 5 - 20 minutes) of increased concentration. Unfortunately this also inhibits your appetite, so if you're on a strict diet or have eating disorders you might want to stay away from doing so. However driving while you are drinking and consuming naproxen is fine.

Temperature, light, humidity, and pH.

Can you take Meloxicam one days and alleve the next, alternating days? I am 2 months post op knee replacement and my Doctor said taking both at the the same time could damage my kidneys, but what if I alternated days? I am trying to get off the meloxicam.

If you suspect that you have, and have exceeded the recommended dosage, call the Accident and emergency number of your local hospital. You should be able to find out from them if further action is required

Do not self medicate. Get your medicines prescribed by a qualified doctor then you can be sure they will help rather then harm you.

no not really

There is a moderate risk of taking fiorinal and naproxen together. Ask your doctor is you are at risk for the negative effects. Taking these two together may decrease the effectiveness of Aleve to prevent heart attacks, and it may also increase the rise for gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcers. There are many other risks associated with the combination of these drugs, so check with a doctor before you begin taking them together.

can you take aleve with azo

No, anti-inflammatory medication should not be taken with coversyl.

Well it doesn't stop them but it does reduce the pain of the worst cramps.

You still have a little but overall it works better then Midol for me.

Oh I take 2 a day for the first 3 days.

It's an anti-inflammatory. Celebrex is a prescription containing naproxen that is regulated heavily by FDA now and only special circumstances allow for prescription.

Aleve is the closest over the counter.
