Best Answer

Advil and Aleve are both non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. You don't want to take them together. If you took Advil, you need to wait at least 6 hours before you can take Aleve. If you took Aleve first, you will need to wait at least 10 hours.

As you may know, Tylenol or Acetaminophen (APAP), can cause liver toxicities at certain doses. In people who do not drink, the limit is 4,000 mg of APAP a day, and for drinkers (more than 2 drinks a day) is limited to 2,000 mg a day. Therefore, it is extremely important not to exceed these limits in a 24 hour period.

Midol usually contains 500mg of APAP per dose. The usual recommended dose of APAP is 325mg - 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. I would wait 4 to 6 hours before taking any APAP products after talking Midol. The major concern is not to go above the limits within a 24 hour period, as I explained earlier. If you need any additional pain control, talk with your physician. It is important to determine the reasons for the use of APAP. This could include adjusting your dose of Birth Control (if taking) or other triggers for use of a pain medication.

Can you take Vicodin and Aleve?

Yes, combining oxycodone and aleve cause no adverse reactions. However, unless you are taking oxycontin, it is more than likely you are taking a preparation of oxycodone and a drug similar to aleve such as acetaminophen (tylenol) or ibuprofen (advil). Your prescription bottle will be labeled with any mixer in the preparation. If it has a mixer in it aleve would probably do little to further relieve pain, and taking aleve on top of a mixer could potentially be hard on your liver. unless you are absolutely positive there is no mixer, I would not suggest taking aleve with oxycodone.
