Hello, Rachelle! How are you?

No, the FDA and NIH classify it as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, it's most commonly used to treat pain, fever and swelling.

Its typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach irritation, and increased risk of bleeding.

This is not one that most companies worry about someone taking, but policies may vary and they are allowed to restrict whatever they deem appropriate.

Are there any other questions or concerns?

Hey there! Naproxen is the stronger version of Aleve... Just like over the counter ibuprofen is only 200mg. You have to get a script from your dr. if you need a stronger form of it...(like 600mg or 800mg). Naproxen is a NSAID. So unless your work does not allow you taking Advil or Aleve, then I don't know. I would question that. Everyone takes the both of them for minor pains.
