A member asked:

Can i take aleve if the last time i took advil was at 2 30 this afternoon?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Advil: A dose of Advil lasts from 6-8 hours. You may take another dose. Aleve effect is 12 hours and I don't think you'd have a problem taking one now with food. You could also add Tylenol. A dentist should be consulted,however.
