Hi
Welcome to Healthcaremagic
Greetings of the day
Dear Ms

Aleve Pm contains Diphenhydramine which is antihistamine and Paproxene which is Non steroidal anti - inflammatory. You can safely take this combination in presence of other coexisting conditions of asthma and GERD. I would also recommend you to take acid suppressant like Pantoprozole along with this.

Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.

Take care
