For example, ibuprofen should not be taken with other NSAIDs such as Aleve (naproxen), high doses of aspirin, or prescription NSAIDs such as ketorolac and celecoxib.
Medications like acetaminophen, such as Tylenol, or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, also known as NSAIDs, like ibuprofen, aspirin and naproxen, all treat pain in different ways from opioids.
Treatment of a gouty attack is typically focused on decreasing the pain and swelling, most often with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications, or NSAIDS, like ibuprofen or naproxen sodium, but occasionally with corticosteroids as well.
Naproxen (brand names: Aleve, Naprosyn, and many others) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) of the propionic acid class (the same class as ibuprofen) that relieves pain, fever, swelling, and stiffness. It is a nonselective COX inhibitor, usually sold as the sodium salt.
