ALEVE is a non-prescription, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) designed to provide effective pain relief. Its primary ingredient, naproxen sodium, works to reduce hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body.
ALEVE is commonly used to alleviate minor aches and pains due to conditions such as arthritis, muscle aches, backaches, menstrual cramps, headaches, toothaches, and the common cold. It is also effective in reducing fever.
ALEVE operates by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, chemicals in the body that promote inflammation, pain, and fever. By blocking these chemicals, ALEVE effectively diminishes pain and inflammation.
ALEVE is formulated to offer long-lasting relief. One dose can provide pain relief for up to 12 hours, making it a convenient option for managing pain throughout the day.
It is recommended to take ALEVE with a full glass of water. Adults and children 12 years and older should take one tablet every 8 to 12 hours while symptoms persist. For the first dose, two tablets may be taken within the first hour. Do not exceed more than two tablets in any 8 to 12-hour period or more than three tablets in a 24-hour period unless directed by a doctor.
Some individuals may experience side effects such as stomach pain, heartburn, nausea, or dizziness. It is important to follow the recommended dosage and consult with a healthcare professional if any severe side effects occur.
Individuals with a history of allergic reactions to aspirin or other NSAIDs should avoid ALEVE. Those with certain medical conditions or who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult a healthcare professional before using ALEVE.
Before combining ALEVE with other medications, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional, especially if taking blood thinners, other NSAIDs, or medications for high blood pressure.
