Summary: Aleve is the same as Naproxen Sodium
Comment: Aleve is the exact same medication as its generic counterpart, Naproxen Sodium. Aleve is a non-steroidal anti-inflamatory drug (NSAID). This means it is NOT a steroid, such as cortisone or hydrocortisone, and it relieves inflammation, which is a central component of pain of any kind, be it joint pain, headache, migraine, etc.
As a class of drugs, NSAIDs are the most frequently prescribed analgesics for management of arthritic and musculoskeletal pain of mild to moderate intensity. All NSAIDs possess analgesic (pain relieving), antipyretic (anti-fever), and anti-inflammatory effects (reduces inflammation and swelling). Naproxen Sodium was first offered as a prescription drug in 1982, but had such a strong safety profile that it was listed as an over-the-counter medication in 1994 as Aleve.
Aleve is absorbed rapidly following oral administration. It achieves a peak blood concentration within 15 minutes to 2 hours. The main advantage to Naproxen Sodium is its long half-life (14 hours), which means how long its effect lasts in the body before it is excreted/metabolized. With the long half-life, Aleve only needs to be taken twice a day, or at most, three times a day. The tablets or capsules come in 220 mg dose sizes, and the maximum daily dose is 1250 mg per day. The instructions state to take one tablet twice a day (440 mg total dose). However, for pain that does not respond to one tablet, one could take two tablets twice a day for pain and still be well under the maximum recommended daily dose. Before taking more than the recommended dose, always consult with your MD. It is not recommended that one take Naproxen Sodium longer than 10 days.
In studies comparing (Aleve) Naproxen Sodium to aspirin, Naproxen Sodium was found to be 20 times stronger. It is about equally potent as 400-600 mg of Ibuprofen. Many of my patients have found it better than Ibuprofen, as it does not have to be dosed as frequently. Some beleive it is a bit more effective than Ibuprofen.
With all drugs there are side-effects, and Aleve has several significant effects that the buyer will need to consider. First, like all NSAIDS, Aleve can cause stomach bleeding, ulcers, and even sudden stomach perforation. If you have stomach ulcers or are prone to GI bleeding, it is best to consult your MD before beginning Aleve. Aleve can also increase bleeding tendencies, as it prevents platelets from clotting together. People with heart conditions who use Aleve can experience swelling of the arms, legs, and feet. Report any adverse side-effects to your MD immediately and discontinue Aleve.
In my experience with this medication and in prescribing it for my patients, I recommend they take it with a small amount of food to lessen the direct contact with the stomach lining.
Please note that Aleve is about twice as expensive as the generic Naproxen Sodium Naproxen Sodium 220 mg - 400 Caplets Compare to the active ingredient in Aleve® Tablets. Generic and Aleve are the exact same drug, so I leave it up to you to purchase the brand you prefer.

Summary: all right by me--with an important note or two
Comment: CAUTION: READ LABEL DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING!!!
Aleve "all day strong" helps me many times when I have shoulder pain caused by a rotator cuff injury. The Aleve caplets contain no aspirin which can cause stomach trouble for some people; and with this version of Aleve I get pain relief for a good 10 to 12 hours. The caplets are not "horse pills" which can be difficult to swallow, either. Great!
Aleve also helps with minor aches and pains including headaches, menstrual cramps, muscular aches and it can temporarily reduce a fever, too. There are important cautionary notes on the package and the bottle--just be sure to read those carefully so you don't take this product at the wrong time. However, with careful use, Aleve happens to be an excellent product.
Use these pills before any expiration date stamped on the outside, thin cardboard paper packaging. After that date throw these out and get a new bottle.
Have further questions? No problem! Aleve has a toll free number and a website where you can find out more information about this product.
I highly recommend Aleve for those of us who want an aspirin substitute for any reason. When used correctly Aleve is wonderful.

Summary: best stuff going
Comment: Over the years, dancing and such, I have tried them all. Aleve has to be one of the greatest pain relievers/anti inflammatories out there. I suffer from a stiff knee due to an injury. Doctor gave me one they pulled off the market. That worked, but not as good as Aleve. I take two of these when it acts up and pain and stiffness is GONE.
Don't take with aspirin; do check with with cautions. I have easily bothered stomach, though some say this can irritate it, has never bothered me. Take two and forgettaboutit.........

Summary: THE ORIGINAL PATENT HOLDER STILL SEEMS TO BE THE BEST SOURCE
Comment: IN A NUTSHELL: ALEVE IS A COMMON ANTI-INFLAMMATORY NOW AVAILABLE OVER-THE-COUNTER
WHAT IS ALEVE AKA: NAPROXEN SODIUM
'Aleve' for all intents and purposes is the 'Naprosyn' that we all use to get prescriptions for to help with a plethora of painful ailments. Specifically speaking, 'Bayer HealthCare LLC, makes 'Aleve' and they were the original patent holder for Naprosyn when it was first released as a prescription drug more than a generation ago.
TO BETTER EXPLAIN WE'LL NEED TO USE SOME MEDICAL LINGO:
'ALEVE', which in this form is a 220 mg. caplet of 'NAPROXEN SODIUM', is a 'Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory' drug (also referred to as a NSAID). NSAIDs, including Naproxen Sodium are used to relieve some symptoms caused by arthritis (rheumatism), such as inflammation, swelling, stiffness, and joint pain. However, bear in mind that this medicine will not cure arthritis and will help you only as long as you continue to take it.
OKAY -- SO WHAT'S THIS STUFF GOOD FOR?
Naproxen sodium is useful in the temporary relief of pain and to treat such painful conditions as:
-* gout attacks;
-* bursitis;
-* tendinitis;
-* sprains, strains, or other injuries; or
-* menstrual cramps.
Like 'Ibuprofen', Naproxen Sodium is also a potent fever reducer. In fact, if your stomach can tolerate NSAIDs, these two are good to rotate for long term use. The Naproxen tends to last several hours longer and you generally need a smaller dose compared to Ibuprofen for the same ailments. Like Ibuprofen, Naproxen is a potent headache reliever as well, especially for sinus headaches taken together with something like benadryl for nasal congestion.
WHY THE 'ALEVE BRAND' AS OPPOSED TO A GENERIC?
Many healthcare professionals will say that generics and name brands are roughly equivalent. Usually, but not always, this is true. Having taken Naprosyn on and off since 1981, I feel rather sure that the 'Aleve brand' is more potent and at the same time less irritating to my stomach than the generic brands I have tried over the years. Naturally, only the 'enteric coated' product can offer reasonable assurrance that you won't experience gastric side-effects with any NSAID.
YOU CAN MINIMIZE GASTRIC SIDE-EFFECTS:
Nevertheless, I have found that if you avoid lying down for at least 15 minutes after taking Naproxen, and avoid taking doses larger than those recommended by your healthcare provider, the likelihood of side-effects are reduced. Steering clear of coffee, when taking any NSAID might also be advised, especially if you suffer from G.E.R.D..
BOTTOM LINE: I PREFER ALEVE OVER THE GENERICS - REASONS ABOVE
As anti-inflammatories go, Naproxen Sodium [Naprosyn] is one of the more potent, long lasting, and versatile of the NSAIDs. At the same time it causes less gastric-distress than aspirin. Since it has become available over-the-counter, it is now one of the least expensive and most available anti-inflamatories, even in the name brand form offered here ['Aleve'].
WHY 4-STARS FOR 'ALEVE'?
I have given this product 4-stars simply because there is a risk of severe gastric irritation to a relatively large portion of the population. Bear in mind also, that like most NSAIDs, 'Naproxen Sodium' will thin your blood and may interact with certain blood thinning or blood clotting medications. For some, the blood thinning effect may reduce the risk of heart attack, but this is something to discuss with a qualified physician rather than treat yourself.
