Point Out Surprising Ingredients in New Aleve Topicals

September 2021

You can help limit confusion with the new topical products AleveX and Aleve Arthritis Pain Gel.

People may think these OTCs contain the NSAID naproxen like oral Aleve...but they don't.

Aleve Arthritis Pain Gel has diclofenac 1%...the same NSAID as OTC Voltaren gel. AleveX lotion or spray has menthol and camphor...and no NSAID.
