Why were you told not to take it? This would be a factor in determining the proper answer.

Naproxen contains the active ingredient Naproxen, it is not the exact same medication as Ibuprofen, but it is in the same drug class, which means it is also an NSAID.

Therefore, if you were told to stay away from all NSAIDs, then you shouldn't take it.
