Question 1

can i take a baby asprin if i took a naproxen?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: You might be able to take baby Aspirin with naproxen.  However, the effect of Aspirin might be reduced with Naproxen use.  Furthermore, you would have increased risk of gastric ulcer, kidney disorder and heart issues.  Please check with your doctor before take them together.

Question 2

is aleve (naproxen) asprin or does it have asprin in it?

Accepted Answer

No to both: Aleve (naproxen) is neither Aspirin nor does it contain aspirin. It is a different chemical but in the same class of medications as Aspirin called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsaids).  As such, it can have some of the same set of common side effects.

Question 3

can i take aspirin with aleve (naproxen)?

Accepted Answer

Should not combine: Although alieve, or naproxen, is frequently used when a patient is taking low dose Aspirin therapy (81mg), it should not be used with full strength aspirin.  It will add little to the anti-inflamatory effects of full strength aspirin, and compound the side effects.

Question 4

is it safe to take asprin and aleve (naproxen)?

Accepted Answer

Not really: The combination carries significant GI risk.

Question 5

can i take aleve (naproxen) and aspirin for pain?

Accepted Answer

Not a good idea: I would not mix these two meds because of a significant increase in the risk of ulcers or GI bleeds with this combination.

Question 6

can you take bayer asprin 81 mg and take aleve (naproxen)?

Accepted Answer

Yes: I would have no problem with my patients taking those drugs together.

Question 7

can i take 325 mg of aspirin and take 500 mg of naproxen daily?

Accepted Answer

: Combining aspirin and naproxen can increase your bleeding risk and also increases problems with kidney function and blood pressure. That said, if you are taking a daily aspirin 325mg under a doctor’s supervision, and you have pain, a single naproxen separated by several hours is probably safe once in a while, but I wouldn’t take it daily. Tylenol is probably safer. Please discuss with your doctor

Question 8

i took two aleve (naproxen) 7hrs ago and my pain came back would it be safe to take an aspirin?

Accepted Answer

Never mix: aspirin and Advil or Aleve (naproxen).

Question 9

worse for bilirubin,  aspirin or naproxen?

Accepted Answer

Neither: It depends on why the bilirubin is elevated. It could be benign elevation, it could be related to a variety of different types of   liver diseases. The question is why is the bilirubin elevated.  With that information, and the type of liver disease you have we can better recommend.

Question 10

does aleve (naproxen) act the same as a baby asprin?

Accepted Answer

No: Aleve (naproxen) does not have the same degree of antiplatelet effects as low dose aspirin.
