Patients taking naproxen, which is sold as a generic drug and under the brand names Alleve, Naprosyn and others, should not exceed the recommended dose and should not take it for more than 10 days unless directed by their doctor, the FDA said in a statement. http://www.boston.com/yourlife/heal...xen_painkiller/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
