All of the NSAIDs carry the warnings for increased risk of cardiovascular disease. They also block PGE1s that protect the stomach lining (cox-1). So over time one can get erosions, or bleeding, or worse. Of all the ones tested, Aleve (naproxen ) scored lowest on risk of the list. But it still scored something.
I don't take Aleve every day for that reason. Also if you take your EFAs well, you will make your own PGE1s in greater amount and have more protection. It is the people very deficient in EFAs to start with who get the bleeds, I believe.
