Aleve

Aleve is an over-the-counter pain-relief brand centered on naproxen sodium, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Its products are intended for the temporary relief of common mild-to-moderate pain, including certain headaches, toothaches, muscle aches, backaches, joint pain, and menstrual pain, depending on the specific product labeling. The brand’s positioning emphasizes relatively long-lasting relief compared with some shorter-acting pain medicines, although dosing, duration of use, and eligible users must be determined from the label and professional medical advice. Aleve is operated through Bayer’s consumer-health business and is primarily distributed through U.S. retail and pharmacy channels. Because naproxen sodium is an NSAID, product labeling addresses precautions involving gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, kidney, and drug-interaction risks. The brand should therefore be understood as a labeled over-the-counter medicine rather than a treatment suitable for every type of pain or every consumer.
