Question

My doctor said i cant take naproxen i can take tylenol is motrin okay?

Answer 1

They are all different types of NSAIDs. Aleve is the brand name for naproxen, tylenol is acetaminophen, and motrin is ibuprofen. Tylenol is generally considered to be the best tolerated of the three. Ibuprofen can increase bleeding if taken with other medications, or if you have a clotting issue. Whether or not you can take motrin depends on your medical history and you current medications. Without that info, no one can give you a responsible answer.

Answer 2

That would depend on why he told you not to take naproxen. My guess would be not. The proscription against one is the same as another NSAID for hypertension, renal disease, gastrointestinal bleeding/ulceration, and bleeding disorders.
