HelloPharmacist Bottom Line
Our Pharmacist Explains
What is this? The interaction data in the HelloPharmacist supplement database is licensed from Natural Medicines Pro by TRC Healthcare (Therapeutic Research). HelloPharmacist pharmacists often add our own analysis and context on top of that licensed data — such as this Bottom Line summary and the notes on individual interaction pages — and any such commentary is noted as ours.

Aleve PM combines naproxen, an NSAID, with the sedating antihistamine diphenhydramine, and its supplement list earns genuine care rather than a quick skim. Thirteen of the 378 ingredients on file rate major, and the two largest themes track the pill's two halves. More than 200 ingredients can add to naproxen's effect on bleeding, and nearly 80, alcohol and kava among them, deepen diphenhydramine's drowsiness, in a few cases enough to depress breathing.

Smaller clusters matter too. Around 30 ingredients pile onto diphenhydramine's drying, anticholinergic side effects (blurred vision, constipation, confusion), a handful can stress the kidneys naproxen already works, and activated charcoal can soak up the medicine before your body absorbs it. The 320 moderate and 45 minor entries can mostly wait. Alcohol cannot, since beer and wine sit among the majors, and a nightcap with this pill is not the small thing it seems.

What Severity, Likelihood & Evidence Mean

Severity — How Serious It Can Be

  • Major. Clinically significant; generally best avoided, or used only under direct professional supervision.
  • Moderate. May need monitoring, a dose adjustment, or separating the times you take each one.
  • Minor. Generally not clinically significant, but still worth noting and mentioning to your pharmacist.
  • No known interaction. Checked against our sources with nothing documented — not the same as proven safety.

Likelihood — How Well It’s Documented

  • Likely. Well-controlled human studies have demonstrated the likely existence of this interaction
  • Probable. Interaction has not been documented in well-controlled studies, however, the interaction has been demonstrated in some small human studies or in controlled animal studies in conjunction with multiple case reports.
  • Possible. Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists
  • Unlikely. Interaction has been demonstrated in animal or in lab research but has been shown not to occur in humans.

Where This Data Comes From

  • Interaction records are evidence-graded and sourced from the Natural Medicines database (TRC Healthcare), the same reference used by pharmacists and hospitals.
  • Each entry links to a full report with the clinical detail, likelihood, evidence level, and citations for that exact combination.
  • Content is reviewed by licensed HelloPharmacist pharmacists — see our data sources and editorial standards.

How Does Our Interaction Checker Work?

Behind every verdict on this page is a category system. Our source database doesn’t document supplement interactions drug-by-drug — it documents them against groups of medications that behave the same way (for example, “drugs processed by the CYP3A4 liver enzyme” or “blood-thinning medications”).

So the check works in three steps: (1) Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride, Naproxen Sodium is classified into the pharmacology categories it belongs to, (2) every supplement interaction documented against any of those categories is inherited by Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride, Naproxen Sodium, and (3) each ingredient keeps its own severity, likelihood, and evidence grades from the underlying record. That’s why one supplement can carry several records for one drug — it may interact through more than one category.

Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride, Naproxen Sodium sits in 14 interaction categories. Open any one to see what the group means:

Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs 202 ingredients

Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride, Naproxen Sodium & Supplements: Common Questions

What supplements interact with Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride, Naproxen Sodium?
More than you might expect — 378 in total, though they are far from equal: 13 are rated major, 320 moderate, and 45 minor. The ranked list on this page puts the ones that genuinely matter first, and every entry opens a full report on that exact pair. The highest-ranked right now: Beer, Siberian Cocklebur, Wine.
Which Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride, Naproxen Sodium supplement interactions are the most serious?
The 13 major-rated combinations — led by Beer, Siberian Cocklebur, Wine, 1,4-butanediol and Activated Charcoal — deserve real caution: these are the ones generally best avoided, or used only with your prescriber watching. If you take any of them today, don't panic and don't stop anything abruptly — call your pharmacist first. Jump to the ranked list.
Can I take vitamins or supplements while on Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride, Naproxen Sodium?
Usually yes — most people on Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride, Naproxen Sodium can take most supplements. The catch is the exceptions, and they aren't always the exotic ones (St. John's Wort trips up more prescriptions than almost anything sold next to it). Look up each ingredient you actually take in the list above, and treat "no known interaction" as a green-ish light, not a guarantee. Try the label scanner or the interaction checker.
Do brands like Aleve PM have the same supplement interactions as Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride, Naproxen Sodium?
Yes — Aleve PM all contain Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride, Naproxen Sodium, so everything on this page applies to them equally. Interactions belong to the active drug, never to the brand on the box; the same is true of generics.
Where do these interaction ratings come from?
Every rating comes from the Natural Medicines database — the same evidence-graded reference pharmacists and hospitals use — and each interaction carries three separate grades: severity (how bad it can be), likelihood (how well it's documented in studies and case reports), and an evidence level. Our pharmacists review the content; we never let an AI decide an interaction. See how to read the ratings and our editorial policy.
Does Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride, Naproxen Sodium deplete any vitamins or nutrients?
It might — Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride, Naproxen Sodium has 1 reported nutrient-depletion association in the research literature, which is a different question from interactions: instead of a supplement changing the drug, the drug may lower a nutrient over time. See the Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride, Naproxen Sodium nutrient depletion report for the specifics and what to discuss with your pharmacist.
What about Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride, Naproxen Sodium and my other medications?
This page covers Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride, Naproxen Sodium against supplements and herbal ingredients. Checking Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride, Naproxen Sodium against your other prescription or OTC medications is a different tool — our drug interaction checker covers that side.
