*SEE DATA VS HYD+APAP2 >

    Aleve® was proven as strong* on pain as hydrocodone plus
    acetaminophen (HYD+APAP) and longer lasting in a clinical study.1

    Take a closer look.

    STUDY RESULTS

    Aleve® was as effective* as HYD+APAP at hours 0 to 4 at reducing pain intensity.†

    The primary endpoint was met

    Sum of Pain Intensity Difference from 0 to 12 hours (SPID0-12) was statistically significant for Aleve® vs HYD+APAP.

     
    Key secondary endpoints also showed statistical significance compared with HYD+APAP:
    • Total pain relief (0 to 6 and 0 to 12 hours; P<0.05)
    • Median time to rescue medication (P<0.001)
    • Duration of pain at least half gone over 12 hours (P<0.001)
     
    Both active treatments were significantly more effective than placebo

    HYD+APAP was not statistically superior to Aleve® for any endpoint.

    *In hours 0 to 4 of a single-dose dental study of Aleve® (440 mg), HYD+APAP (10 mg + 650 mg), or placebo.1

    †Based on SPID0-4.1
