Question 1

i'm 85, quite healthy and will have a vicodin or anaprox (naproxen) three or four hours after a second or third beer. problem?

Accepted Answer

No problem: Anaprox (naproxen) you can wash down with beer, if really want to--but have something on your stomach to avoid upset. Think of each vicodin as about 2 drinks (if small build + being older, perhaps 3)--if you would not feel in control / steady after a couple - three beers + 3, then wait. Usually each drink (1oz ethanol equivalent) metabolized in just over an hour, so 3hrs after 3 beers almost like no beers.

Question 2

20, 200mg ibu, 2 vicodin( 5-325 ) 1 vicaprofen(7.5-200), one naproxen(550mg), 2 tramadol(50mg each), and two percocet(5-325). every day. what happens?

Accepted Answer

Very bad situation: That concoction is truly frightening especially in a 17 year old.  Multiple narcotic pain relievers. Why??? You are setting yourself up for major issues. How many doctors are prescribing your pain meds? Consider rehab to get off of the narcotics.

Question 3

can general anesthesia, vicodin or naproxen affect birth control? (mini pill)

Accepted Answer

They shouldn't: None of those should interfere with the minipill. However, the minipill is a Progesterone only pill and tends to be pretty sensitive.  You have to take it at the same time every day and stress can effect it. If you are worried, use a back up method like condoms for a couple of days.

Question 4

may i take vicodin and naproxen together for the pain related to new dentures and teeth removal

Accepted Answer

Yes : There are no significant interactions between these medications.

Question 5

i'm taking vicodin for a bone fracture and having some nasty side effects. would ibuprofen or aleve (naproxen) be better alternatives?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: However, these are not as strong pain relievers as is vicodin. Discuss the issue with the doctor who ordered the vicodin.

Question 6

is it okay to take naproxen, tramadol, vicaprofen, and vicadin at the same time? my pain is at an all-time high. thanks!

Accepted Answer

No it is not okay..: Depends on dose of each, but Vicodin, Vicoprofen (hydrocodone and ibuprofen), (hydrocodone and ibuprofen) and tramadol all contain narcotics.  Vicoprofen (hydrocodone and ibuprofen) and Naproxyn both contain NSAIDs.  Depending on dosage, the side effects of narcotics and NSAIDs can be harmful to liver or kidney, and can be dangerous.  Consult with your doctor or pharmacist regarding safe dosage of each.

Question 7

fell  three days ago closed bimalleolar fx nondisplaced  casted ankle bettet.    i take one vicoden q 4-6 hrs and wonder if i can also take aleve (naproxen)?

Accepted Answer

Best not to as they-: -interfere with the inflammatory reaction needed to heal fractures.,especially when there is no internal fixation. Ask your surgeon when he feels you may use them.

Question 8

can i take naproxen (aleve) or iborofen with norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen) 5-325? i'm also taking penicillin as well.

Accepted Answer

What is your: Question. Need more information. Just be careful with Narcotics as addiction potential is very high.

Question 9

neck feels tight on one side like i need to pop it..was prescribed naproxin and generic norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen)...would a muscle relaxer and work better?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Muscle relaxers are kind of hit or miss in how they work.  You can certainly try it but I would be more inclined to see a chiropractor instead.

Question 10

i took naproxen 500mg n hr ago can i take nyquil now? i don't feel good at all n can't sleep.

Accepted Answer

Pain caused insomnia: You are taking Naproxen an NSAID  should not interfere with nyquil for sleep. Read the label for any warnings. I am not totally familiar with otc nyquil. Hope you feel better soon.
