Question 1

is naproxen better than hydrocodone for some types of pain?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Naproxen is an anti-inflammatory medicine similar to over the counter motrin.  Generally speaking, nsaids do a better job when there is inflammation, and they also perform better with bone pain.

Question 2

can you take hydrocodone with naproxen?

Accepted Answer

Yes but: Yes, but only if the hydrocodone paired with Acetaminophen and not Ibuprofen or any other nonsteroidal drug.

Question 3

could you take hydrocodone 5/500 with naprosyn (naproxen)?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: They are prescribed together frequently.  Long term use of Naprosyn (naproxen) can cause GI bleeding, hypertension and renal disease.

Question 4

can you take anaprox (naproxen) and hydrocodone tiogetjer?

Accepted Answer

Hydrocodone NSAIDS: It is generally considered to be safe to take hydrocodone with nsaids.

In fact if the nsaids can help you take less hydrocodone then it would be safer, provided that you don't have a contraindication to nsaids such as ulcers, bleeding disorders, or renal impairment.

However, only take hydrocodone as prescribed by your physician and in the manner in which your physician has asked you to take it.

Question 5

can i take a hydrocodone 500mg and naproxen 500mg together?

Accepted Answer

See details: What do you mean by 'bleeding?' If you have any issue with bleeding you should not take naproxen.

Question 6

can naproxen sodium be taken with hydrocodone?

Accepted Answer

Yes: They work by different mechanisms and have different side effects.

Question 7

how should you compare naproxen to hydrocodone for pain relief?

Accepted Answer

Pain management: Nsaid vs narcotic. 1 alleviates somatic pain and inflammation, whilst the other masks the perception of pain.

Question 8

will naproxen slow down someone from having an orgasm like hydrocodone does?

Accepted Answer

Naproxen: There is no data on this but anything is possible with such a complicated body process. If you observe a difference then perhaps it's true for you. There is certainly no widespread effect that the medical community is aware of and millions of people take this medication.

Question 9

i took 1 aleve (naproxen) at 5 am and another at 7 am and am still in pain. is it safe to take a hydrocodone with what i have already taken?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes it is but I would caution against relying on narcotics for pain control especially at age 36. Determine the cause of the pain first. See a rheumatologist.

Question 10

i took naproxen at 11:00 pm last night and have since taken two doses of methocarbamol 750. can i safely take one hydrocodone 5-325?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Hydrocodone has an opiate and Tylenol (acetaminophen) contained within the dose. Neither of these have the same mechanism of action as Naproxen or Methocarbamol.
