Pounding Head: Aleve (naproxen) is usually a very safe product for short periods. When you take 2 aleve (naproxen) you effective taking a prescription dose of Naprosyn, the first use of this chemical introduces 20 years ago. Is your head ache in the area of your dental care? Is it on the side of the dental care? Consult your dentist!!

No...: Aleve and Ibuprofen are the same type of drug...NSAIDS. By taking them together you effectively are overdosing. Tylenol (acetaminophen) is a different type of drug and can be taken concurrently and may have a synergistic effect.

Yes, you can: However, if you need additional pain relief, you can combine aleve with Tylenol (acetaminophen) . Always talk to your doctor before combining any medications.
