Can I take 15 and Naproxen together?

Why this happens

Naproxen is an anti-inflammatory drug that can irritate the lining of the stomach and reduce the protective mucus that prevents acid damage. Alcohol is also a stomach irritant. When used together, they can cause the stomach lining to wear away more quickly. Additionally, both substances can affect how well your kidneys filter blood.

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking naproxen. If you must drink, keep it to a very small amount and always take your naproxen with food to help protect your stomach. Seek medical help immediately if you notice signs of stomach bleeding, such as black, tarry stools or vomiting blood (which may look like coffee grounds).
