When submitting a specimen for a drug testing, you are required to disclose all the medication that you are currently taking or had taken in the past week or month. The reason why it is important to provide all the prescription names is that sometimes drugs interfere with each other and a test results comes up “false-positive” for something you had not taken. The detailed list of prescription or over-the-counter drugs that may influence the drug test results follows below.

Last time we spoke about Advil.

Today we will talk about Aleve.

General drug information:

Aleve is a pain reliever and fever reducer. It is available over the counter for such common causes as headaches, toothaches, menstrual cramps, backache and muscle pains, tendonitis, etc. As any NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug), Aleve blocks the production of certain natural substances in a body that cause inflammation. It is also recommended (and very popular) for use to relieve joint pain, swelling and stiffness that is associated with arthritis, bursitis, and gout disease; however, for thorough treatment of such conditions, especially if it is chronic, a non-drug treatment should be used. This drug should not be used to relieve pain cause by any type of injury.

Possible side effects:

Side effects of Aleve include, but not limited to: nausea, upset stomach, heartburn, drowsiness, dizziness, mood changes, difficulty swallowing, bleeding or easy bruising. When taken in higher than prescribed dosage, this drug can cause adverse effects to the liver and kidneys. If upon taking Aleve you notice a dramatic change in urine color, persistent nausea, yellowing eyes, vision changes, sharp abdominal pain – stop taking it right away and seek medical attention. Also, there is a rare possibility of allergic reaction to this drug – seek immediate help.
