What is it? Another NSAID, different character (Aleve)

What does it do? A longer-lasting anti-inflammatory

Why is it important? Longer lasting to keep you moving

When should you take it? For muscle/joint pain as well as arthritis

Naproxen might be considered a redundant NSAID in a list that already includes ibuprofen. Both are excellent anti-inflammatory drugs with a proven track record of effective and safe use. They’re also both available as a prescription or over the counter, which increases the likelihood of finding either in an abandoned drugstore. The differences are subtle, but deserve note: ibuprofen is commonly referred to as a 4-hour medicine, in reference to its duration of effectiveness, whereas naproxen is effective for around 12 hours. For long-term treatment of inflammatory pain, this means fewer pills to take every day. Studies have also suggested that naproxen may be better suited for arthritic pain, which will be of benefit to older folks.

Sometimes the choice between two similar medications will boil down to how each works for you personally. It’s quite amazing that although the genetic difference between individual humans is less than 0.1%, our bodies respond to drugs in dramatically different ways. Although there are plenty of NSAIDS at your fingertips, it might be that naproxen works better for you than, say, ibuprofen or aspirin. Or maybe it works the same but has fewer side effects. Either way, it’s important to stay tuned into your body and to be aware of comparable treatments .
