Don't ask the internet, ask your doctor.
While sites such as this one and other types of search engines make finding answers easy and fast, I believe it is in the general public's best interest to leave medical opinions to trained professionals such as doctors or pharmacists.
Due to countless variables from person to person, you should never try to self- diagnose or medicate. I work at an Urgent Care and my least favorite thing to hear is "I looked up my symptoms online and I think I have _____." In most cases, what patients are actually suffering from turns out to be fairly minor or substantially more severe than they thought. Many answers are based on personal experience or second hand information, which may have been the proper plan of treatment for the author's diagnosis. Going to your PCP or specialist frequently does not make you and expert and you should always consider the following: Your opinions could lead to serious injury or death.
An opinion,
No! They contain similar medicines and having both in your system at the same time can result in an overdose. So therefore, just take the Aleve, or the ibuprofin. Not both.
Side effects include a slight increase in the chance of stomach bleeding.
Another Opinion
Yes. Although they contain similar medicines (NSAIDs), there are no known adverse interactions between the two. I asked this question of my doctor after having ACL surgery on my knee, recovery from which was quite painful for a stretch. He said that using different pain medications concurrently can actually have a complementary effect. Some combinations are to be avoided, such as naproxen and aspirin, but this one is OK. Note that you should still be mindful of the combined dosage, as the possible gastrointestinal side effects of these two drugs are similar. In other words, nothing wrong with using them together, but don't take the full dose of both. I usually take one ibuprofen and one naproxen and it works great.
A Third Opinion
No. Naproxen Sodium and almost all other NSAIDs are metabolized in the kidneys. Combining NSAIDs can over time do some serious damage to your kidneys. While overdosing is a concern taking normal dosages generally will not result in a deadly combination but can cause cramping, stomach bleeding, a marked drop in blood pressure, dizziness, and/or fatigue.
Conversely, Acetaminophen is metabolized in the liver and can be combined with NSAIDs without any real problems.
4th Opinion
yes! i have two ruptured discs, and have been prescribed both naproxen and ibuprofen, as well as percocet and tramadol, and all is well! i prefer taking the naproxen with tramadol or a percocet and it works pretty well. i havent had any stomach or kidney problems (including upsets or pains), although it has been a while since my kidneys in particular were checked out for anything unnoticed.

No, you can't take Ibuprofen with Naproxen as long as both are NSAID. Naproxen is stronger so you might prefer this one with Flexeril.
No, do not take two pain killers together - you will get an overdose and harm your liver and kidneys.
You might take acetaminophen with ibuprofen. You might take acetaminophen with Naprosyn. But you CAN'T take ibuprofen and naproxen (Naprosyn) together, as long as both drugs are NSAID and works on the same receptors. Naproxen is a little bit more powerful than ibuprofen.
you can use naproxen instead of ibuprofen
No!!... a BIG NO! I'm allergic to ibuprofen such as Advil.. and taking naproxen sodium also have the same exact effect!. Don't take naproxen Sodium if you are allergic to ibuprofen!
Yes, you can take ibuprofen while on metoprolol.
Can you take kalms and naproxen together
Can I take Meloxicam 7.5 mg tablets with 10mg of Valium
Yes, but as these are both NSAIDS they cannot be taken together. Maximum dosage for ibuprofen is 800mg. up to 3 times daily.
Yes, bth medications shouldn't interact, however if any allergies are recorded from any of these two should not be taken.
Naproxen is essentially ibuprofen, so no you should not take it if you're allergic to ibuprofen. Basically, stay away from drugs that are in the same family as ibuprofen, because you could have an allergic reaction to those medications as well.. For example, ibuprofen is a NSAID, so you should stay away from other NSAID medicines such as, aspirin, naproxen, celecoxib, etc.
