Q: What is aleve?

Q: How does Aleve work to relieve pain?

A: You feel pain after your body produces naturally occurring hormones or chemicals that send out pain signals. Aleve works at the site of pain by temporarily blocking the body’s productive of naturally occurring chemicals that signal pain called prostaglandins. Prostaglandins play a direct role in pain.
