Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Naproxen and Mucinex doesn’t contain a common ingredient and they are chemically different things. Naproxen is an analgesic similar to Ibuprofen and Mucinex is N-acetyl cysteine. If you are allergic, better to avoid both of them.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain
