ALEVE  (NAPROXEN SODIUM):  Naproxen is used to relieve pain from various conditions. It also reduces pain, swelling, and joint stiffness caused by arthritis, bursitis, and gout attacks. This medication is known as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It works by blocking your body's production of certain natural substances that cause inflammation. If you are treating a chronic condition such as arthritis, ask your doctor about non-drug treatments and/or using other medications to treat your pain. See also Warning section. Some brands of sustained-release naproxen take longer to be absorbed and are not recommended for pain that needs quick relief (such as during a gout attack). Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions about your particular brand.   FDA Approval Date: 1994-01-11 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  Headache Took away the headache faster then any med I had taken in the past. 1 hour after taking I began getting itchy palms, then the bottoms of my feet started itching, then the itching moved to my legs. I had this type of reaction before but did not think it was from the Aleve. I just took a bit of Benydryl and it had gone away.This time I knew it was the Aleve. I was with my boss and asked him to get me to a pharmacy as fast as possible to get some liquid Benydryl. By the time we had gotten to a pharmacy my whole body was red and itchy, Everything around me had gone white. I could no longer see. I could not talk but I could hear muffled noises, He went through the drive through and they rushed to get the Benedryl he poured some into my mouth and within a few minutes my hearing, sight, and everything came back. I really should have gone to a hospital but he did what I asked him to do before all went down. A few hours later I had projectile vomiting then all was better. I was told by my Dr F 51 1 days

 1  Headache Tingling, burning, itching sensation on lips and genitals, followed by swelling, and now open sores on both areas. The sores are also on my outer lips as well as the inside of my throat. I can't eat or barely drink anything, and I'm on steroids. I didn't have any known allergies before taking the medicine. It hurts like none other to use the restroom, and I had to be rushed to the ER. The doctor said I was close to going into anaphylactic shock, and needless to say I will never be taking aleve again. (PS it didn't even get rid of my headache) F 18 1 days

 5  Frequent headaches and migraines When I take more than 5 or 6 tablets a week I sometimes experience stomach pain. I get headaches and/or migraines multiple times a week, I'm lucky to wake up without one. Tried all other NSAIDs and painkillers, nothing works including the extra strength versions. My neurologist suggested I try Aleve and I'm so grateful for it. F 21 4 years

 1  Fever Much like Advil, Aleve has begun causing me strange side effects in that within an hour of taking it, my nose begins running profusely and unstoppably until after the drug wears off. Also a pressure headache from all the fluid in my sinuses, and the sound of popping in my ears from fluid pressing on them. Also made my eyes red and bloodshot. Triggered wheezing from my usual asthma. At this point, I'm scared of taking ANY NSAID again! F 30 1 times
