Does Aleve Interact With Relafen?

Can I take Aleve or Advil with Relafen? I have prescription for that and want to know when I am not taking the medicine is it ok to take inbetween doses. I take Relafen twice a day, so during the day when I am in pain for a pulled muscle in my shoulder and arm may I take Advil or Aleve?
