A member asked:
I took a sudafed (ibuprofen 200mg) for a cold but now i think my period is starting, can i take my usual naproxen 220mg or is that too much nsaids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is ok: Wait a couple hours before taking the Naproxen and take it with food. This is relatively minimal increase in dosage. Assuming you tolerate the Naproxen, it is ok.
