A member asked:

What will happen if you take an aleve (naproxen) when you are not sick?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Nothing, people: Use it for arthritis pain all the time, they are not sick. Take in the appropriate amount if needed for pain, it can cause stomach or other issues if taken excessively. Just curious, why did u take it anyway?
