What other drugs will affect
Aleve?
Ask your doctor before using Aleve if you take
an antidepressant such as citalopram,
escitalopram, fluoxetine (Prozac), fluvoxamine,
paroxetine, sertraline (Zoloft), trazodone, or
vilazodone. Taking any of these medicines with an
NSAID may cause you to bruise or bleed easily.
Ask a doctor or pharmacist if it is safe for you to use
Aleve if you are also using any of the following drugs:
lithium;
methotrexate;
probenecid;
a blood thinner (warfarin, Coumadin, Jantoven);
heart or blood pressure medication, including a
diuretic or "water pill"; or
steroid medicine (such as prednisone).
This list is not complete. Other drugs may interact
with naproxen, including prescription and over-the-
counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products.
Not all possible interactions are listed in this
medication guide.
How should I take Aleve?
Use Aleve exactly as directed on the label, or as
prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or
smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.
The smallest effective dose should be used.
Dosage for adults and children 12 years and older:
Take 1 Aleve capsule or tablet every 8 to 12 hours
while symptoms last. For the first dose you may take
2 capsules or tablets within the first hour. Do not
exceed 2 capsules or tablets in any 8 to 12 hour
period - do not exceed 3 capsules or tablets in a 24-
hour period.
Drink a full glass of water with each dose. If taken
with food, Aleve may take longer to work.
Store Aleve at room temperature away from moisture
and heat.
Read all patient information, medication guides, and
instruction sheets provided to you. Ask your doctor or
pharmacist if you have any questions.

What happens if I miss a dose?
Since Aleve is sometimes used only when needed,
you may not be on a dosing schedule. If you are on a
schedule, use the missed dose as soon as you
remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time
for your next scheduled dose. Do not use extra
medicine to make up the missed dose.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison
Help line at 1-800-222-1222.
What should I avoid while taking
Aleve?
Avoid drinking alcohol. It may increase your risk of
stomach bleeding.
Avoid taking aspirin while you are taking Aleve.
Ask a doctor or pharmacist before using any cold,
allergy, or pain medicine. Many medicines available
over the counter contain aspirin or other medicines
similar to naproxen. Taking certain products together
can cause you to get too much of this type of
medication. Check the label to see if a medicine
contains aspirin, ibuprofen, ketoprofen, or naproxen.
Ask your doctor before using an antacid, and use
only the type your doctor recommends. Some
antacids can make it harder for your body to absorb
Aleve.
