A member asked:

Can you take celebrex (celecoxib) if you took alev 3 hours ago with no back relief?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You can try Celebrex (celecoxib): but watch your stomach, it may irritate your stomach lining and give you heart burn or reflux problems, especially with Aleve (naproxen) already on board. Take with food and use some antiacids if you can.
