A member asked:

Prednisone and naproxen sodium...compatibility?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably OK: Both of these drugs can irritate the stomach, and together they can be a one-two punch. However, many patients do just fine especially if they did not have stomach issues to start with. Your prescribing md will be able to tell you what to watch out for.
