--- Long-term use of Advil, Aleve could lead to heart problems
Hi Roman,,,, I can only tell you that before my RA was confirmed,,,,, I took prescription Naprosyn for 7 years at the max amount of 3 500 mg pills a day and it kept me working and supporting two of my four kids in collage. I know, I know, I have one of those stomachs that seem to be made of iron. No ulcers, no heart problems,,,, in fact it was a life saver for me for that period of time..... I take these scare messages should be taken with a grain of salt with the advice of a good doctor.
