"A few years back as I was eating lunch, I came across an article suggesting that naproxen sodium (Aleve) could be a valuable OTC pharmaceutical in treating influenza. It's cool an intriguing idea, even if it hasn't undergone clinical trials yet. It's really worth knowing and won't cost you any extra money. And because it's so potentially valuable, being as it's the beginning of flu season and all that, it's worth mentioning again.

Not only that, the researchers also found that naproxen was more effective than oseltamivir (Tamiflu) in mice. And naproxen is more effective against influenza B than influenza A. (If the flu viruses would now just identify themselves when they infect, that would be super helpful.)

The authors conclude, "If naproxen is an effective anti-influenza drug for humans, it could be implemented into influenza treatment protocols more quickly than other antivirals in development."

In a nutshell, their preliminary research shows that Aleve is more effective than Tamiflu. In mice. Like the disclaimer above says, I'm not a doctor and this isn't medical advice. You need to talk to your doctor before using any medication."
