(More customer reviews)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.. Sitting rather than lying down for at least 10-12 minutes after taking 'Aleve' may also reduce the severity and possibly cancel out the onset of any heartburn symptoms.
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.
