Aleve-D contains naproxen sodium and extended-release pseudoephedrine HCI. Naproxen sodium is an effective, long-acting analgesic pain reliever that provides temporary relief of headaches, minor body aches and pains, and fever that may result from a cold. The pseudoephedrine HCl in Aleve-D is an extended-release nasal decongestant that works by promoting sinus drainage, reducing sinus pressure and restores freer breathing through the nose.

Adults and children 12 years and older take 1 caplet every 12 hours; do not take more than 2 caplets in 24 hours. Drink a full glass of water with each dose. Do not take more than directed. The smallest effective dose should be used. Swallow whole; do not crush or chew. Children under 12 years: do not use.

Aleve-D lasts up to 12 hours because naproxen sodium is inherently a long-lasting pain reliever, and the pseudoephedrine HCl component is specially formulated to provide extended relief for up to 12 hours with just one pill.

Yes. Aleve-D does not contain an antihistamine and is therefore considered to be non-drowsy.

There are two active ingredients: naproxen sodium 220 mg and extended release pseudoephedrine HCl 120 mg.

Naproxen sodium is an analgesic (pain reliever) and is indicated for the temporary relief of headaches, minor body aches and pains and fever due to the common cold.
