Description
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.
