Aleve

Aleve is a brand name for the over-the-counter medication naproxen, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to reduce pain and inflammation caused by conditions such as arthritis, menstrual cramps, headaches, and muscle aches. It works by blocking the production of certain chemicals in the body that cause pain and inflammation. Aleve is available in different forms, including tablets, caplets, and liquid gels, and is typically taken every 8-12 hours as needed for pain relief.
