Is taking 1 aleve (naproxen) every day bad for ylu?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

see details: There is always a risk of ulcers or other GI issues for the long term use of aleve (naproxen) or other nsaids. The risk of a single aleve (naproxen) tablet is relative low but always take it with a meal.
