See the DrugPatentWatch profile for aleve

Aleve (naproxen) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) commonly used to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and treat conditions such as arthritis, menstrual cramps, and headaches. While Aleve is generally considered safe and effective, some individuals may experience allergic reactions to the medication.

According to the FDA [1], Aleve can cause allergic reactions, including hives, itching, and swelling. In rare cases, anaphylaxis, a severe and life-threatening allergic reaction, can occur. The FDA advises patients to seek medical attention immediately if they experience any signs of an allergic reaction.

DrugPatentWatch.com [2] reports that Aleve has been associated with anaphylaxis in some cases. The website cites a study published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, which found that anaphylaxis occurred in 0.02% of patients taking Aleve.

The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) [3] also notes that NSAIDs like Aleve can cause allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. The AAAAI recommends that patients with a history of allergic reactions to other NSAIDs or medications should exercise caution when taking Aleve.

It is essential for patients to be aware of the potential allergic reactions to Aleve and to seek medical attention immediately if they experience any signs of an allergic reaction.
