ALEVE® is an over-the-counter (OTC), nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that provides temporary relief from aches and pains from a variety of conditions. It also temporarily reduces fever
Trust ALEVE® for providing fast and effective relief of:
arthritis pain and pain of inflammation

joint and body pain, muscular ache, muscle sprains and strains, backache, minor aches, headaches, migraine pain, menstrual cramps, pain of minor surgery, toothaches, pain of dental extractions, pain associated with the common cold and reduces fever
ALEVE® works by temporarily blocking the body's production of naturally occurring chemicals called prostaglandins. Prostaglandins play a direct role in pain.
The only difference is the shape. Both the ALEVE® tablets and caplets contain the same amount of medicine. Some people find that an oval caplet is easier to swallow, while others prefer the round tablet shape.
If you are in your first or second trimester of pregnancy or breast-feeding, ask a health professional before use. Do not take ALEVE® if you are in your third trimester of pregnancy.
