A Closer Look at Aleve

A new study, designed to test whether Aleve reduces the risk of Alzheimer's, found that the medicine could increase other risks. Those taking Aleve had a fifty percent greater incidence of heart attack or stroke than those taking a placebo.
The FDA is urging consumers to follow label guidelines. Don't use Aleve for more than ten days in a row, and don't take more than three pills in any given 24-hour period.
