l have Aleve and that is a pain reliever and l wanna try that home remedy of crushing aspirin and mixing it with water to get rid of pimples. Is Aleve something like aspirin?
Is pain reliever the same thing as aspirin
Yes, aspirin is a pain reliever/fever reducer. It is a salicylic acid, which is different from Aleve.
Aleve is also a pain reliever/fever reducer, but it works in a different way. It is considered a non-steroidal antiinflammatory medication, like ibuprofen (Advil).
I have heard of people crushing up aspirin & mixing w/ water to rid of pimples. Because of the difference in nature of the drugs, I'd say that u probably wo not get the same effect using Aleve. Aspirin is cheap, u can get a store brand bottle for 99 cents at CVS :)
Is pain reliever the same thing as aspirin
