Drug Interactions between Aleve and Pepcid Complete
This report displays the potential drug interactions for the following 2 drugs:
- Aleve (naproxen)
- Pepcid Complete (calcium carbonate/famotidine/magnesium hydroxide)
Interactions between your drugs
naproxen famotidine
Applies to: Aleve (naproxen) and Pepcid Complete (calcium carbonate / famotidine / magnesium hydroxide)
Ask your doctor before using famotidine together with naproxen. Using these medications together may affect the enteric coating of naproxen, causing the medication to be released too early in the body. This can make naproxen less effective. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
naproxen calcium carbonate
Applies to: Aleve (naproxen) and Pepcid Complete (calcium carbonate / famotidine / magnesium hydroxide)

Drug and food interactions
calcium carbonate food
Applies to: Pepcid Complete (calcium carbonate / famotidine / magnesium hydroxide)
Calcium absorption may be increased by taking it with food. However, foods high in oxalic acid (spinach or rhubarb), or phytic acid (bran and whole grains) may decrease calcium absorption. Calcium may be taken with food to increase absorption. Consider spacing calcium administration for at least 2 hours before or after consuming foods high in oxalic acid or phytic acid. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions or concerns. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
