Long term, higher o-t-c dosing needs to be monitored by a Dr.  to be certain no ulcerations or irritation occurs.   I am on Mobic NSAID prescription and need to have bloodwork done ev. 3 mos for kidney function, and am told to be aware of any acid reflux indicators as a side effect not to brush off lightly while on NSAID's.

Hello...my understanding is that Aleve is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory. (Naprosyn)  It is a great medication, however it is known to affect some people with gastrointestinal distress.  I hope this helps!  Sincerely, Maggie PT
