Find Can You Drink Alcohol On Naproxen in Answers

Can I drink alcohol 11 hrs after taking Naproxen? At 11:00am eastern time today I took two 200mg Naproxen. I am aware that it does not mix well with alcohol but I was wondering if I could drink a bit tonight at 10:00pm, not having taken any since 11:00am because maybe the Naproxen had worn off by then.

Shirley replied: "Alcohol simply took after naproxen - boy!"

Molly replied: "Naproxen wears off after 3-4hrs, so you'll be fine :)"

is it safe to drink alcohol a day after using naproxen? ive been using naproxen for about 3 days, 2 pills a day and the last tiem i took them was yesterday around 5. i havent taken them today yet because i wanted to go out with my buddies, do you think it would be ok for me to drink alcohol tonight? or is it to soon?

Nathan Explosion replied: "No, it's still in your system. Answer mine:"

♥~*Momma Bear*~♥ replied: "Naproxen is the exact same thing as aleve. You can drink."

Chase W replied: "yes unless your really sensitive to NSAIDS but normally aleve gets out of your system in 12-18 hours"

Pam H replied: "Yes. It can cause stomach irritation, but generally it doesn't hurt you."

Mary O replied: "You're good to drink in my opinion but I'm not a doctor. Maybe you should call your doctor and ask."

silky1 replied: "yes i am on a naproxen regimen for my arthritis and it is ok to go drinking the day after taking them."

Josh G replied: "Hi, I am a doctor and I have experience with naproxen. Absolutely no, Naproxen may cause drowsiness, dizziness or blurred vision and alcohol may intensify these effects and increase the risk of accidental injury. Please email me if you have any other questions concerning the matter, or any others generally. Hope this helps."

pooterilgatto replied: "This is an oxymoron. Alcohol is a toxic substance, and it is best not to use it at all, with or without any other medicine. The decision of course is entirely up to you ."

Is it safe to drink alcohol while taking an NSAID? I'm taking 500 mg of Naproxen, twice a day for subacromial bursitis. Is it safe to have a few drinks tonight? I threw away the paper that came with the medication, otherwise, I'd look myself. I drink alcohol maybe 2 times month, but its only a few drinks. I don't get drunk. I've only been taking the Naproxen since December 22.

fishywiki replied: "Yes."

mahler1987 replied: "The combination of the 2 could cause severe stomach irritation, only you can decide if it is worth it."

Tht girl tht looks like tht girl replied: "not unless you want your stomach to bleed. no drinking"

Melting Media EAC replied: "I would phone your local pharmacist. They understand interactions better than doctors. I often use my own - for instance, I was given a prescription for cough syrup with Vicodan and was worried my anti-seizure medication would collide. The pharmacist assured me it was safe so long as I did not drive."

mariat753 replied: "Yes. Long term use of one or both could certainly cause gastrointestinal bleeding but unless you have a history of ulcers or such (I assume you wouldn't be on an NSAID) celebrating the New Year isn't going to harm you."

when taking naproxen (same thing that is in aleve) how long should you wait before consuming alcohol? i know that it is bad to drink while on naproxen, is it a matter of hours before the drug clears your system or is it more like a day or more?

Rio Fantastic replied: "Naproxen stays in your system for about 15 hours, so it's best to wait that long before getting drunk. But, a glass of wine or something wouldn't be too bad."

artichokealert replied: "call the pharmacy and ask. it might depend on your dosage and how long you've been taking it. in the past i was on naproxen, don't remember the dosage though, and they told me to wait something like 3 days. i had i think one serving of light alcohol, but after only waiting 24 hrs, and i was too worried about stomach bleeding to enjoy it!! but i'm still alive, so... :)"

Can you drink while taking certain medication? First of all, I was diagnosed with arthritis at the age of 13. Since then I have switched off between several medications, all of which have clearly stated, "Do not consume alcohol while on this medication". Currently, I am taking naproxen pills and methotroxate injections. Now, I know this is going to seem like a really stupid question because it is answered on the bottle, but can I consume any alcohol on medication? I'm in college and yes, the temptation to try it is there, but it's not worth risking my life. I just don't want to not be able to drink alcohol at all. I'd at least like to try a bit and experiment.

Just Ask replied: "If the bottle says not to drink than you really shouldn't. It's kind of like the sign on the freeway onramp that has an arrow showing the curve and a speed limit. Its there because there have been studies showing that you are likely to lose control of your vehicle if you exceed the speed limit. If you drink while taking the medication you are likely to suffer an adverse reaction. You may not realize it when it happens as it may be internal. If you're THAT tempted I would suggest speaking with your doctor to see if you can switch to a medication that is safe to have a drink on occassion. Also, ask your doc what the damage will be if you do drink. A lot of times its an issue of damaging your liver. Good luck"

llamallamaduck13 replied: "The bottled should really tell you what side-effects it will cause, so that if you get tempted you will know what you are getting into. But I won't rant about that. The point is, if you don't know what it will do, don't try it. I'm on medications that react adversely to alcohol myself, as well as grapefruit juice (and I love grapefruit!!), and I know it's hard to go along with the guidelines. I don't know what the consequences would be for you, but for me it'd be something like passing out due to a massive panic attack. Not something to risk. Talk to your doctor."

ucantzme replied: "Go to the Pharmaceutics's website of each medication in questions. Search for alcohol effects on that particular medication. Or go to any local pharmacy. Ask the pharmacist what are the effects of alcohol on a particular medication. They will provide a print out. Sometimes the effects of alcohol is minor, sometime it is deadly. In the case of some antibiotics alcohol weakens it's purpose."

dcricket23 replied: "With Naproxen you are risking a bleeding ulcer, not just one but many small ones in the stomach."

ProudAmerican replied: "I used to take naproxen to avoid hangovers. I went to the doctor for a check up and through routine blood work found out just in time that my liver was shutting down. Now back then I was more than just a casual drinker and I took naproxen every night I drank. I had to quit drinking in order for my liver to recover. The doctor blamed the drinking mixed with naproxen for having such a quick effect on the liver. It's not worth it. I watched a good friend die from liver disease. Stay safe."

Jojo Q replied: "Bad idea! Alcohol should never be taken with medication, it disrupts the pharmaceutic effect. The only acceptable combination with oral medication is water. Alcohol may even destroy some of the chemical component of the medication and render it less or even worse, ineffective. Sometimes, the result could even lead to toxicity. So don't even think about it."

trblueyess replied: "Talk to your Doctor and he can advise you of the risks or not..."

ennis replied: "If you have to ask and the warning labels are on the bottle,then i think you got a problem.Sure you have don't a drinking problem now? Hmmmmmmmmmmm think bout it."

If i stop taking naproxen for 1 day, with i be able to drink? this morning i had a really bad shoulder pains and my Doctor recommended pyroxene. and tomorrow i kinda have to go to a party and the pills say no alcohol or drugs.and today i took 2 pyroxene, if i stop taking it will i be able to drink tomorrow?

Brrrr replied: "Naproxen (Alleve, Naprosyn) is a NSAID-class anti-inflammatory and pain reliever. Depending on the brand, it stays active in the body between 6 and 12 hours. The medicine is not in your body at all 24 hours later. Nonetheless, drink responsibly."

naproxen and alcohol. please help? i was drinking yesterday evening, im thinking i probably stopped 5-6 hours ago, and now i have a stomach ache because my period just started is it yet safe to have feminax ultra? it contains naproxen.. how will i know the alcohol is gone from my bloodstram

Dr Frank replied: "The alcohol may be gone, but remember you only metabolise 1 unit an hour starting an hour after you stop drinking, but if you consumed a lot of alcohol your stomach lining may still be inflamed. It this is the case the naproxen can be even more irritant."

SZO replied: "If the pain is intolerable, on a one-time basis, you can take naproxen even if there's still traces of alcohol in your body. Just don't make a habit of mixing alcohol & naproxen."

What over the counter pain medicine can be taken with alcohol? I have a possible sprained ankle, doctor prescribed Naproxen but it causes stomach bleeding with alcohol i don't usually drink a lot but I am going camping and will have 1 beer a day at the least what can I take?

nadadime replied: "Check with your doctor or pharmacist to find out if one beer per day mixed with your medicine will cause problems. Not preaching in any way, but ask yourself is it worth taking a risk? Personally, I wouldn't want to take the chance."

Joe D replied: "All Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS) can cause stomach bleeding because they inhibit prostaglandins. These are integral to stomach lining protection. Alcohol irritates the stomach lining as well and contributes to hyperacidity, so the combination has an increased potential of causing stomach bleeding. Using an antacid such as Maalox helps avoid this problem, as it neutralizes some of the stomach's acidity. Protectants such as Pepto Bismol coat the stomach and also reduce the potential for this problem. The effects of NSAIDS on prostaglandins decreases over the course of a few hours. If your ankle does not hurt, you could skip the Naproxen to minimize the problems. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is known for not causing stomach problems, but Acetaminophen causes more liver damage than any other drug in the World, and the combination of Alcohol and Acetaminophen can be very damaging to your liver. Really, there is pretty much nothing you can combine safely with alcohol for pain relief. Although people do this from time to time, it is not a safe practice. Here's the dilemma: take the Naproxen and ease your discomfort, or drink the beer to relax. The safest course is to avoid taking them together."

Alcohol and Prescription Drugs? I was prescribed Propoxyphene-N W/ APAP 650 (also called Darvocet) and Naproxen 500mg for pain relief after recieving a concussion on tuesday, they both say not to drink alcohol while taking them, but theres a big party tommorow and if I dont take any of the medication at all tommorow would it be safe to drink tommorow night? and im really not in much pain anymore so skipping the meds one day wont be a problem, their just pain relievers.

David replied: "Take your meds, skip the alcohol."

austinpowers838 replied: "yeah probably just go for it.. people drink while on medication all the time"

Dale replied: "Don't drink, its not good anyway."

AnimalFilter replied: "You're fine, just skip them tommorow. Neither of those pain relievers is narcotic anyway, so you shouldn't have any problems. Drink in moderation of course!!"

Is alcohol still in your system if you're hung over? Basically: Can I take my prescription Naproxen pills tomorrow afternoon if I get drunk tonight for my bro's birthday?

teh_flea replied: "Yep. Just eat a meal before you get drunk, and be sure to drink a lot of water as well while you're drinking and the morning after. Oh... and give your car keys to someone else, as well as keeping some cab fare on you."

northeastcoast_butterfly replied: "duh!"

baby replied: "yeah by then you should be fine to take your meds"

yankeecatcher15 replied: "Depending how late you drink till id wait at lease 12 -16 hrs before i would take any medication. But in your case since you even have to ask that question by all means take it while your drinking"

sweetsum691 replied: "Yes, alcohol will still be in your system. Take your meds as late as you can, but it's not good to miss your schedule by too much."

lizzalicious replied: "no the alcohol would still be in your system dont take the risk"

eehco replied: "Yes, alcohol is still in your system if you're hung over. That's why you're hung over. If you stop drinking no later than 1 am and start drinking water and don't take them any earlier than 1 pm, I would say you should be ok. Also, make sure you eat before you take your meds."

the_one replied: "yes you can take them tomorrow because they wont pass through your liver at the same time therefore they will not be processed together! have fun at the party....drink one for me!"

chris210150 replied: "There will still be amounts in your system. It really just depends on how much you take in. My recommendation is take it easy with the alcohol, have a litte, and you should ok. However, if you can remember what you did the night before in the morning, I would not recommend taking the pill"

Ace Meridian replied: "Alcohol leaves the blood stream at the rate of aproximately one drink per hour. Let's look at an example. Say you have been drinking most of the night and it's 1am. You are going to close the bar down with your friends and you have about 4 drinks still in your system at 1am. Now you drink 4 more drinks from 1 till 2am. In that hour you lost one drink due to time. Now you go home with 7 drinks in you system. You sleep from 3 till 7am and get up to get ready to go for the day. Since you stopped drinking five hours has passed and you now have 2 drinks still in your system. Conclusion, you still have alcohol in your system. This of course is assuming that each drink you have onlyhas one shot in them. If you are drinking Long Islands all night then effectively you could be drunk untill 5pm the next day. Do your calculations and time your perscription accordingly."

Mere Exposure replied: "Hung over is really a state of dehydration--alcohol inhibits anti-diuretic hormone, which means you will not retain proper water in your body--and it is also sleep deprivation. When crashing your brain does not have the same brain wave activity as someone who is sleeping; it is a passed out state more similar to being unconscious rather than sleeping. As far as still having alcohol in your system: Through oxidation, alcohol is detoxified and removed from the blood, preventing the alcohol from accumulating and destroying cells and organs. A minute amount of alcohol escapes metabolism and is excreted unchanged in the breath and in urine. Until all the alcohol consumed has been metabolized, it is distributed throughout the body, affecting the brain and other tissues. Generally the first two hours are the most potent, 4hrs is about a 50% reduction and 8 hrs will just about be sufficient for most people to be back to normal alcohol wise, the hangover issues described above may affect you much longer. P.S. Blind studies with university students where they switch all beverages to non-alcoholic still cause wild drunken like activities including slurred speech, wobbly wild uninhibited action, and reported hang-overs. The point: when your drunk you are really drunk but true partying is all in your head. Get wild not drunk next time and give your body a break."
