Question 1

i'm diagnosed with sle. prescribed plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) & naproxen. took ibprofin instead of naproxen & woke up with a rash. allergic reaction or something else?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: Rashes are common with lupus but are also seen with allergic reactions to ibuprofen. Have the rash evaluated. If you prove allergic to Ibuprofen you will also be allergic to Naproxen so stay off of both until your doctor evaluates the issue.

Question 2

if you are allergic to motrin can you take naproxen?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not: There is a very strong possibility if you are allergic to one, you are allergic to both.

Question 3

i've took iburephen and naproxen for years now if i take it i get internal bleeding. told i was allergic. why now? wat to use as alternative?

Accepted Answer

Changes in body: Our body changes as we get older. Ibprofen and Naproxen are common causes of GI bleeding in some people. This is not necessarily an allergy but perhaps a new increased sensitivity of your body to this combination of meds.

Question 4

if i am allergic to aspirin can i take naproxen and naprosyn?

Accepted Answer

No: If you have a true Aspirin allergy, it is very likely you will also be allergic to Naproxen (naprosyn).

Question 5

what drug should you avoid if you're allergic to naproxen sodium? and have childhood asthma?

Accepted Answer

Aspirin and NSAIDs: Naproxen is a NSAID drug and in some asthmatic patients can cause asthma exacerbations. These individuals should avoid Ibuprofen (another nsaid) and Aspirin as these drugs may also exacerbate their asthma.

Question 6

i'm allergic to naproxen and tramadol will i be allergic to all prescription pain meds.

Accepted Answer

No: Since these two are NSAIDs, you may not have problem with opiate type of pain medication.

Question 7

im allergic to naproxen and ibuprofen is there a safe alternate for me to reduce swelling and inflamation?

Accepted Answer

Salsalate?: This drug is a derivative of aspirin, but does not have an effect on prostaglandin formation, and is generally safe for people with intolerance to other nsaids.  It also does not hurt the stomach.  Ask your doctor about it!

Question 8

i have suddenly become allergic to nsaid's like naproxen and ibuprofen after years of taking them without problems.  can this reverse itself?

Accepted Answer

No: True allergies cannot be reversed but you can take other NSAIDs that are unrelated.

Question 9

can i take advil or aleve (naproxen) or aspirin or naproxe? iam allergic from ibuprofen

Accepted Answer

Some : Some of these have the active ingredient (ibuprofen). All are nsaid's and commonly, if you are allergic to one non steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, you will be allergic to all. If if was me, i wouldn't take them.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Probably: The correct approach is to stop taking Naproxen because the next allergic reaction may be much more severe.
