Q.Can ALEVE® interact with other medications I am taking?

A.

Before you use ALEVE® talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking any
of the following drugs:

  • anticoagulants (to decrease blood clotting)
  • antihypertensive drugs for your heart (including ACE inhibitors and beta-blockers)
  • diuretics ("water pills")
  • cyclosporine
  • glucocorticoids
  • lithium
  • methotexate
  • low dose ASA for doctor supervised preventative therapy (eg. ASPIRIN® 81 mg)
  • other pain medications (eg. ibuprofen, acetaminophen).

Taking ALEVE® with a meal may slightly delay its absorption.
