Question 1

is it safe to exercise or smoke marijuana while also taking naproxen 500mg?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no: Naproxen and exercise go fine together, as long as you don't over dose and follow your doctor's instructions.  Marijuana is not safe with anything since it is not safe to use by itself.  Please reconsider using MJ during any aspect of your life.

Question 2

how many hours after taking naproxen can u take aleve?

Accepted Answer

12 hours: Aleve is naproxen, so you are talking about the same drug.  The dosing interval is 12 hours. If you need something extra for discomfort you can take 2 tylenol (acetaminophen) every 6 hours for the next 2-3 days only.  Beyond that, consult your doctor about management.

Question 3

can u drink while taking naproxen and dose it harm you if you have stents?

Accepted Answer

No: If you want to go by the book , you should not drink while on Naproxen and Naproxen should not be used if you have coronary heart disease or have a stent for it.

Question 4

how many teva naproxens do i take to od?

Accepted Answer

Unknown - don't: If you take a lot, you will feel terrible and do possibly permanent damage to various organs - liver for one. You'd have a good chance of having a very poor quality of life - worse than now. But they say there is no known dose that is certainly lethal - nor is there an anti-dote. You'd just be very sick. http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/drugInfo.cfm?setid=177F0371-46E7-4527-8381-0067CAD57025
