Does ALEVE contain sodium (salt)?

Each ALEVE tablet, caplet, and gelcap contains 20 mg of sodium to speed up pain relief, and is classified as “low sodium” under FDA guidelines. The active ingredient in ALEVE (the ingredient in Naprosyn) is combined with sodium to make it easier for the body to absorb. Easier absorption makes ALEVE a faster-acting form than naproxen alone, so pain relief occurs more quickly.
