Aleve is a NSAID containing naproxen. The active ingredient is also found in Naprosyn.
Other common NSAIDs are ibuprofen, diclofenac and aspirin.
Aleve has recently been related to an increased rate of MI and CI (heart attack and strokes).
A good substitute is voltaren which contains diclofenac or Fenac (prescription).
COX-2 inhibitors (Vioxx, Celebrex and Bextra) can also be used but i would recommend that you go see your doctor.
