Brief Answer:
Can take APAP tablet,do not exceed dose of1tablet

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I am sorry for the situation you are in.

You are reporting to have taken 3 tablets of Aleve, which contain Naproxen.

The APAP tablets contain ooxycodone and acetaminophen from my database.

The are also pain killers like Aleve, but with different action. They can be used in combination with Aleve.

However, I advise not to exceed the dosage of 1tablet APAP when you also take Aleve.

Hope it was of help!
