Crush: Since aleve (naproxen) is not a capsule, you can crush it and combine with something sweet like apple sauce. If you find that you need to take aleve (naproxen) or other nsaids for longer than 7-10 days please consult your health care practicioner.

Ask first: Always ask your physician and/or pharmacist about crushing pills in food or drink before you do this...Some medications cannot , or should not be crushed..Most meds are ok to crush, but just to be sure, ask first..
