Hi,

Prednisone and Aleeve can both cause stomach ulcers, and when they are combined your are at high-risk of developing an ulcer, which could be a life threatening condition. So by advising you NOT to take Prednisone and Aleeve together, the medical professionals are trying to help you.

Tylenol would be a fair suggestion. If you feel that you must take Aleeve, it should not be taken without a second medicine which can prevent peptic ulcers - such as Omeprazole, Lansoprazole, Pantoprazole etc.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Maria Riechel-Sarup, General & Family Physician
