Aleve Caplets are a medication used to relieve pain from various conditions such as headaches, muscle aches, dental pain, menstrual cramps, and arthritis. Aleve belongs to a class of drugs known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It works by blocking your body’s production of certain natural substances that cause inflammation. This effect helps to decrease swelling, pain, or fever.
The active ingredient in Aleve Caplets is naproxen sodium. It targets the enzymes in the body responsible for inflammation and pain, specifically COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes. By inhibiting these enzymes, Naproxen Sodium reduces the levels of prostaglandins, which are compounds involved in mediating inflammation, pain, and fever. This mechanism helps in providing relief from symptoms without the use of steroids.
| Usage | Aleve Caplets are typically taken orally, with or without food. If you experience stomach upset while taking this medication, it may help to take it with food, milk, or an antacid. The dosage depends on the patient's condition and response to treatment. It is essential to follow the healthcare provider's instructions carefully. Adults and children 12 years and older can usually take one caplet every 8 to 12 hours while symptoms last. Individuals may take two caplets for the first dose within the first hour. |

| Storage | Store Aleve Caplets at room temperature, away from light and moisture, and out of reach of children and pets. Keep the medication in its original packaging, tightly closed, to protect it from moisture. Properly dispose of any medication that is outdated or no longer needed, following the guidelines provided by a pharmacist or local waste disposal company. |
| Special Precautions | Before taking Aleve Caplets, patients should inform their healthcare provider about any history of asthma, blood disorders, heart disease, high blood pressure, liver or kidney disease, strokes, or stomach/intestine/esophagus problems such as bleeding or ulcers. Aleve may cause stomach bleeding, which can be serious and may worsen if you drink alcohol while taking it. Pregnant women, especially in the last trimester, should avoid taking Aleve unless directed by a healthcare provider due to the potential harm to the unborn baby. |
| Overdose | Symptoms of an Aleve overdose can include drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, difficulty breathing, and extreme dizziness or lethargy. In severe cases, an overdose can lead to coma or fatal breathing problems. An overdose requires immediate medical attention to manage any adverse effects correctly. |
