Isolated severe thunderstorms with a potential for large hail and wind damage are possible today across parts of the southern Plains into the northern Ozarks. Marginally severe thunderstorms with strong wind gusts and hail are also possible from the Ohio Valley into the central and northern Appalachians. Wrangell (PAWG)
Advil (Ibuprophen) and Aleve (Naproxen): For pain, particularly when inflammation is present. Very important! Advil and Aleve are not muscle relaxants, in spite of what many people believe. They are classified as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and designed to reduce inflammation in joints and muscles.
Quick Answer. The major difference between naproxen, the active ingredient in Aleve, and ibuprofen is that the former is not considered safe for use by patients with a history or risk of cardiovascular disease, while the latter is thought to be safer for such patients. Another difference is that naproxen is longer lasting than ibuprofen.
