Question:
If I have a really bad headache do I really have to wait 4 hours to take more aleve?
Could I really overdose if I take more after only 3 hours?
Answers:
What we often recommend to our patients is to alternate pain medications. Take your Aleve. If you continue to have pain after 2 hours take some Tylenol (if you have no health reasons not to) and then the Aleve again. Persistent headaches may indicate a more serious problem and should be checked by your doctor. Also, just because it is a "pain reliever" it might not be the right medication for your pain.
