Safety precautions: I imagine they don't want you to get confused and exceed the maximum daily dosage. See Dr Hermansen's answer too.

Doctor Dose: A common dose prescription written by doctors is 500 mg twice a day for Naproxen / Aleve (naproxen). Take that into account when looking at the OTC dose of 220 mg twice daily.
