Using Aleve for a short period of time appears safe--and even healthy--for people's hearts. Aleve is an over-the-counter version of the drug naproxen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) like ibuprofen and the COX-2 inhibitor Celebrex. Though NSAIDs like Celebrex have been linked to heart problems, Aleve does not appear to carry such risks. Research shows that Aleve may even help the heart by thinning the blood in the same way that low-dose aspirin does.
