It's not a good idea to take Aleve while on Warfarin.

Essentially, Aleve is brand name naproxen. Naproxen, as well as other Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) slow the clotting of blood. Generally, that isn't a problem. However, you're also taking Warfarin, which is a blood thinner.

Taking these two drugs together can make you bleed more easily, and slow the clotting time when you start. You're better off taking a pain killer that isn't Naproxen, like Tylenol, which is Acetaminophen. I wouldn't take ibuprofen, as it is also an NSAID.

If you're pain isn't mild, as in, it's too strong to be mended with Tylenol, I'd call a doctor. You don't want to mess around with your bloods clotting speed.

Drugs not to take while on warfarin?

When you take a blood thinner like warfarin, you need to avoid anything else that also thins the blood. The major drug class that fits this is the pain reliever class. Tylenol is considered the only safe drug to take with warfarin - aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen all cause extra blood thinning.Here are some medicines which might make your warfarin level go down:Antithyroid medicinesAzathioprineCarbamazepineDicloxacillinGlutethamideGriseofulvinHaloperidolNafcillinOral contraceptivesPhenobarbitalRifampinVitamin KHere are some medicines which might make your warfarin level go up:AllopurinolAnabolic steroidsAmiodaroneCephalosporinsCimetadineCiprofloxacinClofibrateClopidrogelDiclofenacDisulfiramErythromycinsFluconazoleFluorouracil (5-FU)SSRIs such as Prozac or ZoloftGlucagonInfluenza virus vaccineMetronidazoleMacrolide antibioticsOmeprazoleSulfamethoxazole/TrimethoprimTamoxifenThyroid hormoneTolbutamide

Is this a 10 mg or a 5 mg?

If a person is not sure if a form of medication is a 10 mg or a 5 mg dose, it is best to take it back to the pharmacy and ask the pharmacist who filled the prescription. It's dangerous to not sure how much of a medication one is taking.
