How is ALEVE different from the prescription drug Naprosyn®?
• Naprosyn contains naproxen and is only available with a prescription. • Naprosyn is indicated for treatment of chronic (continuing) pain and inflammatory conditions. • ALEVE is indicated for temporary relief of minor aches and pains. ALEVE is available over-the-counter (OTC), so you can easily get strong, long-lasting relief without a prescription. • ALEVE contains the fast-acting, OTC form of the medicine in Naprosyn.
