are their any cautions about taking naproxen sodium? my husband takes acetometaphin at bedtime to allow him to sleep all night due to back pain. I have read this isn t good, and I think it is addictive and am trying to get him to change to aleve? what is our best choice?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Tylenol PM has an additional medication that can serve as a sleep aid. while it is addictive, you may not be able to fall asleep without it if you take it for extended periods of time, it is a safe drug.  I do not know or any Aleve products that contain sleep aids. nontheless, as Aleve is an NSAID, it is bad for your kidneys and stomach so I would not suggest taking it for anything other than it’s intended purpose. To answer the question, it’s not the Tylenol that your husband uses to put him to sleep, but the additional drug in there. Aleve does not have this drug. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
