What is Aleve?
Aleve is an over-the-counter (OTC), nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that can provide temporary relief from minor aches and pains from a variety of conditions. It also temporarily reduces fever.
What is the advantage of using Aleve over other OTC pain relievers?
Aleve requires less frequent dosing and fewer pills than other common, over-the-counter pain relievers when pain persists. Just 2 Aleve can provide pain relief that can last all day. Each Aleve pill has the strength to last 12 hours.
Compare it! Based on minimum label dosing for 24 hours, you could take 6 Extra Strength Tylenol(R)* or 4 Advil(R)† to get all-day relief if pain persists. Aleve can relieve pain all day with just 2 pills. Aleve is available without a prescription, so it's easy to get pain relief that can last all day.
