Yes. They are two different class of medications and they work differently. However I do recommend that you talk to your doctor if you are in so much pain that you need to take both of them.

Yes, but there is really no reason to. If you have pain, and inflammation, just go for the naproxen. Tylenol (acetometaphin) is not an anti inflammatory, its a pain reliever and fever reducer. Naproxen is a pain reliever, fever reducer AND anti inflammatory. Basically if you have inflammation, take naproxen. If not, take tylenol.

I think it is best to take one or the other, but not both. If you do take both, don't take the maximum suggested dosage of both. Talk to a pharmacist or your doctor.

You shouldn't mix pain killers. Ask your doctor or pharmacist

It is better to alternate them. Do not take them together. Please read this as it will tell you the same thing. I also think you should ask your doctor.

For the person who gave me a thumbs down, you need to read this as well. How many of you are health care professionals?

yes they are safe to take together but you may want to space them out and see if you need the both of them
