Aleve vs Ibuprofen - NOT THE SAME

[Guest guest]

Aleve is NOT the same as Ibuprofen... Here are the differences...

I know this because I am allergic to Ibuprofen... So please be

careful everyone - I was NEVER allergic to Iburprofen until just a

few weeks ago when I developed the anephlaxic (sp)symptoms. I can

however (at least at this time) take Aleve. I am only to take it when

I absolutely have to due to it being a no-no with my blood issues but

because my Osteonecrosis is acting up bad and fast this is all I can

take till Wednesday.

Aleve - NAPROXEN SODIUM

Naprelan contains naproxen sodium, a member of the arylacetic acid

group of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

Naprelan uses the proprietary IPDAS™ (Intestinal Protective Drug

Absorption System) technology. It is a rapidly disintegrating tablet

system combining an immediate release component and a sustained

release component of microparticles that are widely dispersed,

allowing absorption of the active ingredient throughout the

gastrointestinal (GI) tract, maintaining blood levels over 24 hours.

Ibuprofen - example Advil, Motrin

Motrin tablets and ibuprofen children's suspension contain the active

ingredient ibuprofen, which is (±)-2-(p-isobutylphenyl) propionic

acid. Ibuprofen is a white powder with a melting point of 74°-77°C

and is very slightly soluble in water (<1 mg/ml) and readily soluble

in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone.

Inactive Ingredients: Carnauba wax, colloidal silicon dioxide,

croscarmellose sodium, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, lactose,

magnesium sterate, microcrystalline cellulose, propylene glycol,

titanium dioxide.
