A member asked:
I took 2 aleve for a headache, and accidentally took 2 more a few hours later.(brain fart, was supposed to take an unrelated prescription) should i be?

No trouble.: Normal dosing for Aleve is 220mg twice a day. The prescription form is Naprosyn (naproxen) 500mg twice a day. Your taking double Aleve (220mg x2 = 440mg) twice in 24 hours should not be a problem.
