介绍

布洛芬和萘普生都是非甾体类抗炎药（NSAID）. You may know them by their most popular brand names: Advil (ibuprofen) and Aleve (naproxen). These drugs are alike in many ways, so you may even wonder if it really matters which one you choose. Take a look at this comparison to get a better idea of which one might be better for you.

Both drugs work by temporarily preventing your body from releasing a substance called prostaglandin. Prostaglandins contribute to inflammation, which may cause pain and fever. By blocking prostaglandins, ibuprofen and naproxen treat minor aches and pains from:

They also temporarily reduce fever.

虽然布洛芬和萘普生非常相似，但它们并不完全相同。例如，来自布洛芬的疼痛缓解并不持续只要从萘普生的痛苦缓解。这意味着您不必经常服用Naproxen，因为您将猜错。这种差异可以使萘普生成为治疗慢性条件的疼痛的更好选择。

另一方面，布洛芬可以用于幼儿，但萘普生仅适用于12岁及以上的儿童。某些形式的布洛芬使年轻的孩子更容易。
