Pros: Works quickly and for prolonged period.
Cons: cannot think of any.

Aleve is the most effective OTC preparation that i have found for the aches and pains of arthritis. It was originally recommended to me by my internist. So many of the other OTC medications did not prove effective and the prescription drugs come with...

Pros: it works, it really works
Cons: annoying commercial

“Hey Aleve!” - Does that commercial annoy anyone else besides me? Anyway, Aleve which is “naproxen sodium” (and I have no clue what exactly that is) comes in a blue box with the yellow lettering. The box size which I bought was 24 caplets of 220 mg...
