Why are some Aleve round and others oval?

Hello, Jillann! How are you?

Because the shape doesn't actually mean anything. That is entirely up to the whit and whim of the manufacturer.

Aleve contains the active ingredient Naproxen Sodium, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that's used to treat pain, fever and swelling. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and stomach irritation.

This medication may be contraindicated with some medical conditions and/or medications.

Is there anything else I can help with?

The round ones I believe last 8-12hours and the ovals I believe are 6-8 hours
