What is Aleve PM?

Aleve PM is an antihistamine and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration. One of the most innovative and popular drugs marketed worldwide, Aleve PM helps one fall asleep and also deal with minor aches and pain in any part of the body. Aleve PM is safe and effective when consumed in an appropriate and correct fashion as directed by a clinical physician. It has proven its worth in clinical trials. Aleve PM blocks the body’s the production of naturally produced chemicals. The prostaglandins deal with the pain and the naproxen sodium gives the person relief from the pain for 12 hours from the time of its consumption.

It is the first over-the-counter (OTC) PM pain reliever with a safe sleep aid plus. Its effects stay for almost 12 hours. One of the most active ingredients involved in Aleve PM is diphenhydramine hydrochloride HCI which acts as a sleep aid and naproxen sodium which works as a temporary healer of pains.

This drug is recommended for adults, for children above 12 years of age, definitely not for individuals who are recovering from an immediate heart surgery or for women who are pregnant, at least for the first five months unless the doctor recommends. However, the effects are different for each individual depending upon the health and if they are allergic to something. For instance, for some Naproxen sodium may cause allergies, especially to those who are allergic to aspirin. The symptoms could be facial swelling, wheezing, rashes on the skin or blisters. It is better to stop consuming once such reactions occur. For weaker people or those who are 60 years of age and more, the ingredient involved with this drug ‘NSAID’ turns out to be bit risky. It can cause the stomach to bleed, stomach ulcers or act as an anticoagulant. Hence, it is always good to use after consulting with a doctor.

Generally, one would feel drowsy after consuming the drug, but that’s the nature of the drug. One should ideally take the medicine with food (but having the medicine with food might take a longer time to start its function) or milk (which is really good) and never on empty stomach.
