Is it true that taking Aleve taken on a regular basis can cause bleeding in the stomach?

They talk so fast on TV many here it does say it, But best is to talk with your doctor but many people use this regular and the best way is to always take it with food so you don't irritate your stomach. But your doctor should know that you are taking one daily. The prescription one is twice as strong.

I take stronger version, much stronger version, every day with no problems. But I have a strong stomach. It depends on the person taking it.

If you have closed captioning turned on, you would see them talking about the stomach issues with Aleve. It is the same with all NSAIDs by the way. Just depends on you.

My doctor said it depends on the person but to be aware if stomach problems occur. There are also prescriptions with a coating to help prevent this problem - or eat yogurt, toast or whole meal with it so you create your own coating. Certainly only use the lowest effective dosage too in order to be safer.

All of your NSAIDS come with stomach and bleeding warnings. Some people develop issues immediately. Many people tolerate them well with no issues however talking with your doctor or pharmacist is always the best. If you have planned surgery you will always be asked to stop taking them to prevent bleeding issues during and after surgery. While it's true that Tylenol is safer for your stomach, Tylenol can do great harm to your liver. Unfortunately there is no such thing as a pain reliever without risks.
