Can I take Naproxen bp and Ripinrole together?

Why this happens

Both drugs are processed by the liver. Naproxen can sometimes interfere with the enzymes that break down ropinirole, potentially leading to higher levels of ropinirole in your bloodstream. Additionally, both drugs can independently cause stomach upset.

What you should do

You can take these together, but you should be cautious. Monitor yourself for increased sleepiness, dizziness, or fainting. If you notice any dark, tarry stools or sharp stomach pain, stop taking the naproxen and contact your doctor immediately. It is best to take naproxen with food to protect your stomach.
