Is It Safe To Take Aleve And Tylenol Together?
Can you take aleve and tylenol together. My gfriend just injured her knee, probably torn meniscus. She has been taking Aleve to help reduce inflammation but she is in a lot of pain and icing does not seem to stop the throbbing. Would it be okay to take Tylenol with it or perhaps IBprofin?

Hello,
Welcome to Health Care Magic.
For short term, paracetamol (Tylenol) and naproxen (Aleve) can be used simultaneously. In fact it is offten recommanded to alternate the NSAID medications like ibuprofene or naproxen with paracetamol for better coverage. However, this is not advisable for a long term pain issue.
Wishing your girlfriend a speedy recovery.
