Re: Can Aleve be taken daily?
As with any NSAID (non steroidal anti inflammatory drug) caution is advised. This includes aspirin, Alleve (naproxen), ibuprofen and a multitude of others.
The 2 primary concerns are actually kidney function and gastric bleeding. Talk with your doc because a lot depends on age, co-morbid conditions, and other medicines. Anecdotally I will tell you I see more GI bleeds from alleve than most other NSAIDS but any of them can cause or contribute to the same issues. They CAN be taken safely in many circumstances but as always not without any risk.
