OTC Naprosyn is Aleve...I've taken it for years without any side effects at all.

For those who do not have an iron stomach, Aleve, Naporsyn, Motrin, Ibuprophen and others can be very hard on the stomach causing irritation and pain. Talk to your doctor immediately before too much damage is done to your stomach.

There is a new anti-inflammatory medicine called "Limbrel" available via prescription only. It is not a drug, it is a "health food" made from two botanicals root and bark. It is in a new class of meds. Limbrel is working for me. I could not take overcounter anti-inflammatory meds due to stomach pain. Limbrel can only be obtained via prescription and be under doctor supervision. Supposedly there are no side effects. So far I have no side effects. I have inflammation in feet, knees, thighs, hips, rotator cuffs, both hands/fingers/thumbs.
