A member asked:
I woke up with body aches and think i may be getting the flu. can i take both aleve (naproxen) and advil together to help the aches?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NSAIDS: Aleve is naproxen and advil is ibuprofen. Each has their own potential benefits and you could take them together but there is no need to, and all you would be doing is increasing the incidence of side effects.
