No: If your truly allergic to Ibuprofen then Naproxen is also a bad idea. Aspirin less clear. Make sure you have a true allergy. Some pts will call a side effect an allergy. Some pts with a GI bleed can't take these meds as they can cause bleeding. While its good advice its not a true allergy. A trip to an allergist can clear things up. I would avoid these meds till then.
