How Aleve Nighttime Supports Sleep and Pain Relief?
Understanding Aleve Nighttime
Aleve Nighttime is a combination medication designed to provide relief from minor aches and pains while helping you fall asleep and stay asleep. Each caplet contains two active ingredients: naproxen sodium (a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, or NSAID) for pain relief and diphenhydramine hydrochloride (an antihistamine) to help with sleep.
It's specifically formulated for those experiencing occasional sleeplessness associated with aches and pains.
Key Benefits of Aleve Nighttime
Aleve Nighttime offers a dual-action approach to address both pain and sleep issues. Here's how:
- Pain Relief: Naproxen sodium provides up to 12 hours of relief from minor aches and pains, such as headaches, backaches, and muscle aches.
- Sleep Aid: Diphenhydramine hydrochloride helps you fall asleep faster and stay asleep, addressing occasional sleeplessness.
- Convenience: Combining pain relief and sleep aid in a single caplet simplifies nighttime care.
Key Ingredients and Their Actions
Naproxen Sodium for Pain Relief
Naproxen sodium is the active pain-relieving ingredient in Aleve Nighttime. It belongs to a class of drugs known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Naproxen Sodium works by reducing hormones that cause pain and inflammation in the body.
This allows for extended relief from common aches and pains that can disrupt sleep.
Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride for Sleep
Diphenhydramine hydrochloride is an antihistamine that is added to Aleve Nighttime to help you fall asleep and stay asleep. It works by blocking histamine, a natural substance in your body that can keep you awake. This makes you feel drowsy, helping you to ease into sleep.
How to Use Aleve Nighttime
Dosage Instructions
Always follow the dosage instructions on the product label. The typical adult dose is:
- Adults and children 12 years and over: Take 2 caplets at bedtime.
- Do not exceed 2 caplets in 24 hours.
If taken with food, Aleve Nighttime may take longer to work. It is not intended for long-term use. If your pain or sleeplessness persists for more than a few days, consult a healthcare professional.
