Is Mixing Aspirin And Naproxen Safe For Treatment Of Migraine?
Hi I just wanted to know is it safe to mix aspirin and naproxon? I suffer from migraines and I m having a terrible headache

Hello,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
Both Aspirin and Naproxyen are Non Steroidal Antiinflammatory Drugs (NSAID). Combining 2 NSAID's can sometimes lead to gastritis and gastric ulcers especially if you already have hyperacidity problems.
I do not suggest you to overuse pain killers while dealing with chronic headaches. You are at risk to develop medication overuse headaches. Instead, I encourage you to consult your physician for proper evaluation and management of migraines.
Hope this answers your query.
Wish you good health.
Regards
