How does Aleve-D work?
Aleve-D contains naproxen sodium and extended release pseudoephedrine. Naproxen sodium is an effective long-acting analgesic that relieves headaches, body aches and pains, and fever that may result from a cold. The Pseudoephedrine HCL in Aleve-D is an extended release nasal decongestant and works by promoting sinus drainage, decreasing swelling of the nasal mucosa, and reducing sinus pressure.
-
How does Aleve-D last up to 12 hours?
Aleve-D lasts up to 12 hours because naproxen sodium is an inherently long-lasting pain reliever and the pseudoephedrine component is specially formulated to provide extended relief for up to 12 hours with just one pill.

How can I prevent a cold?
Handwashing is the most effective way to prevent colds. If possible, one should avoid close, prolonged exposure to persons who have colds. Daily diets should include foods such as fresh, dark-colored fruits and vegetables, which are rich in antioxidants and other important food chemicals that help support the immune system. Viruses causing the cold can survive up to three hours outside the nasal passages on inanimate objects and skin. Therefore, cleaning household surfaces with disinfectant might help prevent the spread of infection.
-
Is my cold contagious?
Yes. Colds are caused by more than 200 different viruses. These viruses are spread by person-to-person contact through contaminated secretions on the fingers and hands, and through particles in the air from sneezing and coughing.
