Can I take 500 and Permethrin together?

Why this happens

Naproxen is an anti-inflammatory tablet taken by mouth that works throughout the body, while permethrin is a cream or lotion applied to the skin that stays mostly on the surface. They are processed by the body in different ways and do not interfere with each other.

You can safely use these two medications together. Follow the specific instructions for the permethrin (usually leaving it on for a set number of hours) and take the naproxen with food to protect your stomach.
