Both Aleve and Motrin are used as pain relievers, and they are classified under NSAID (Non-Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs). Both Aleve and Motrin help to prevent the sensation of pain after inflammation has occurred in a particular area of the body. Although both drugs work to achieve a similar purpose, there are some basic differences between them. Aleve is the brand name for Naproxen, while Motrin is the brand name for ibuprofen.
One important characteristic of Aleve is that it can be used after heart surgery, although it is always advised not to use any NSAID drug after heart surgery because they can lead to heart attack, even at that Aleve can be used, while Motrin should not be used after heart surgery. Another difference is that Motrin has a fewer side effect compared to Aleve, although it causes heartburn, and this means people with kidney problems should avoid the use of Motrin.
Aleve and Motrin are two types of drugs, which are anti-inflammatory and do not contain steroids. They are also both brand names for generic drugs. Aleve is Naproxen's brand name. Motrin is Ibuprofen's brand name. Aleve can be used to relieve pain after heart surgery.
Motrin can be used to help with menstrual cramps, as well as help prevent Alzheimer's. Other than what they are named for, Aleve and Motrin are one and the same, for they both help with relieving pain. Like all drugs, Aleve and Motrin have side effects, like stroke, heart attack, and death if taken too much.
