Naproxen and its salt are used to relieve postoperative pain (including that associated with dental surgery), postpartum pain, primary dysmenorrhea, pain following insertion of an intrauterine contraceptive device, orthopedic pain, headache (including migraine), and visceral pain associated with cancer. Naproxen sodium also may be used for self-medication to provide temporary relief of minor aches and pains associated with the common cold, headache, toothache, muscular aches, and backache. /Included in US product label/

Naproxen has been used in the symptomatic management of osteitis deformans (Paget's disease of bone) and Bartter's syndrome. /Use is not currently included in the labeling approved by the US FDA/

When used in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis or juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, naproxen has relieved pain and stiffness, reduced swelling, and improved mobility and grip strength. In the treatment of osteoarthritis, naproxen has relieved pain and stiffness and improved knee joint function. Naproxen appears to be only palliative in these conditions and has not been shown to permanently arrest or reverse the underlying disease process. Naproxen sodium also may be used for self-medication to provide temporary relief of minor aches and pains associated with arthritis. /Included in US product label/

Pseudoporphyria is characterized by skin fragility, blistering and scarring in sun-exposed skin areas without abnormalities in porphyrin metabolism. The phenylpropionic acid derivative group of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, especially naproxen, is known to cause pseudoporphyria. Naproxen is currently one of the most prescribed drugs in the therapy of juvenile idiopathic arthritis. The prevalence of pseudoporphyria was determined in a 9-year retrospective study of children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis and associated diseases. In addition, /the investigators/ prospectively studied the incidence of pseudoporphyria in 196 patients (127 girls and 69 boys) with juvenile idiopathic arthritis and associated diseases treated with naproxen from July 2001 to March 2002. ... These data /were compared/ with those from a matched control group with juvenile idiopathic arthritis and associated diseases not treated with naproxen in order to identify risk factors for development of pseudoporphyria. The incidence of pseudoporphyria in the group of children taking naproxen was 11.4%. Pseudoporphyria was particularly frequent in children with the early-onset pauciarticular subtype of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (mean age 4.5 years). Pseudoporphyria was associated with signs of disease activity, such as reduced hemoglobin (<11.75 g/dL), and increased leucocyte counts (>10,400/uL) and erythocyte sedimentation rate (>26 mm/hour). Comedications, especially chloroquine intake, appeared to be additional risk factors. The mean duration of naproxen therapy before the onset of pseudoporphyria was 18.1 months, and most children with pseudoporphyria developed their lesions within the first 2 years of naproxen treatment. Juvenile idiopathic arthritis disease activity seems to be a confounding factor for pseudoporphyria. In particular, patients with early-onset pauciarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis patients who have significant inflammation appear to be prone to developing pseudoporphyria upon treatment with naproxen.

Short-term use of NSAIAs to relieve acute pain, especially at low dosages, does not appear to be associated with an increased risk of serious cardiovascular events (except immediately following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery). Therefore, in early 2005, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) concluded that preparations of NSAIAs (including naproxen) that currently were available without a prescription had a favorable benefit-to-risk ratio when used according to labeled instructions, and determined that these preparations should remain available without a prescription despite the addition of a boxed warning to the professional labeling of prescription-only preparations of these drugs.

With the exception of precautions related to the sodium content of naproxen sodium, the cautions associated with naproxen sodium use are the same as those for naproxen use. Each 275 or 550 mg naproxen sodium tablet contains about 1 or 2 mEq of sodium, respectively, and each mL of the commercially available naproxen suspension contains about 0.34 mEq of sodium; this should be considered in patients whose sodium intake must be restricted. /Naproxen sodium/

Patients should be advised that naproxen, like other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents, is not free of potential adverse effects, including some that can cause discomfort, and that, rarely, more serious effects (e.g., GI bleeding), which may require hospitalization and may even be fatal, can occur. Patients also should be informed that, while nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents may be commonly employed for conditions that are less serious, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent therapy often is considered essential for the management of some diseases (eg, rheumatoid arthritis), and the drugs have a major role in the management of pain. Clinicians may wish to discuss with their patients the potential risks and likely benefits of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent therapy, particularly when consideration is being given to use of these drugs in less serious conditions for which therapy without a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent may represent an acceptable alternative to both the patient and clinician.

Naproxen is indicated for the management of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis, tendinitis, bursitis, acute gout, primary dysmenorrhea, and for the relief of mild to moderate pain. Further, it is first-line therapy for osteoarthritis, acute gouty arthritis, dysmenorrhea, and musculoskeletal inflammation and pain.
Naproxen is an established non-selective NSAID and is useful as an analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antipyretic. Similar to other NSAIDs, the pharmacological activity of naproxen can be attributed to the inhibition of cyclo-oxygenase, which in turn reduces prostaglandin synthesis in various tissues and fluids including the synovial fluid, gastric mucosa, and the blood. Although naproxen is an effective analgesic, it can have unintended deleterious effects in the patient. For instance, naproxen can adversely affect blood pressure control. A study found that use of naproxen induced an increase in blood pressure, although the increase was not as significant as that found with ibuprofen use. Further, studies have found that the risk of upper gastrointestinal bleeding is on average four-fold higher for individuals taking NSAIDs. Other factors that increase the risk of upper gastrointestinal bleeding include concurrent use of corticosteroids or anticoagulants, and a history of gastrointestinal ulcers.
Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal
Anti-inflammatory agents that are non-steroidal in nature. In addition to anti-inflammatory actions, they have analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions. They act by blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins by inhibiting cyclooxygenase, which converts arachidonic acid to cyclic endoperoxides, precursors of prostaglandins. Inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis accounts for their analgesic, antipyretic, and platelet-inhibitory actions; other mechanisms may contribute to their anti-inflammatory effects. (See all compounds classified as Anti-Inflammatory Agents, Non-Steroidal.)
Cyclooxygenase Inhibitors
Compounds or agents that combine with cyclooxygenase (PROSTAGLANDIN-ENDOPEROXIDE SYNTHASES) and thereby prevent its substrate-enzyme combination with arachidonic acid and the formation of eicosanoids, prostaglandins, and thromboxanes. (See all compounds classified as Cyclooxygenase Inhibitors.)
Gout Suppressants
Agents that increase uric acid excretion by the kidney (URICOSURIC AGENTS), decrease uric acid production (antihyperuricemics), or alleviate the pain and inflammation of acute attacks of gout. (See all compounds classified as Gout Suppressants.)

Absorption
Naproxen is available as a free acid and sodium salt. At comparable doses, (naproxen 500 mg = naproxen sodium 550 mg) they differ slightly in their rates of absorption, but otherwise they are therapeutically and pharmacologically equivalent. Naproxen sodium achieves a peak plasma concentration after 1 hour, while peak plasma concentration is observed after 2 hours with naproxen (free acid). There are no differences between the 2 forms in the post-absorption phase pharmacokinetics. The difference in initial absorption should be considered when treating acute pain, since naproxen sodium may offer a quicker onset of action. The mean Cmax for the various formulations (immediate release, enteric coated, controlled release etc.) of naproxen are comparable and range from 94 mcg/mL to 97.4 mcg/mL. In one pharmacokinetic study, the mean Tmax of naproxen 500 mg (immediate release) given every 12 hours over 5 days was 3 hours, compared to a mean Tmax of 5 hours for Naprelan 1000 mg (controlled release) given every 24 hours over 5 days. In this same study, the AUC0-24hr was 1446mcgxhr/mL for naproxen immediate release and 1448 mcgxhr/mL for the controlled release formulation. A separate study comparing the pharmacokinetics of Naprosyn tablets and EC-Naprosyn observed the following values: Tmax and AUC0-12hrs of EC-Naprosyn were 4 hours and 845 mcgxhr/mL respectively, and Tmax and AUC0-12hrs values of Naprosyn were 1.9 hours and 767 mcgxhr/mL respectively. When given in combination with sumatriptan the Cmax of naproxen is roughly 36% lower compared to naproxen sodium 550 mg tablets, and the median Tmax is 5 hours. Based on the AUC and Cmax of naproxen, Vimovo (naproxen/esomeprazole combination product) and enteric-coated naproxen may be considered bioequivalent. Overall, naproxen is rapidly and completely absorbed when administered orally and rectally. Food may contribute to a delay in the absorption of orally administered naproxen, but will not affect the extent of absorption.
Route of Elimination
After oral administration, about 95% of naproxen and it's metabolites can be recovered in the urine with 66-92% recovered as conjugated metabolite and less than 1% recovered as naproxen or desmethylnaproxen. Less than 5% of naproxen is excreted in the feces.
Volume of Distribution
Naproxen has a volume of distribution of 0.16 L/kg.
Clearance
Naproxen is cleared at a rate of 0.13 mL/min/kg.
Oral absorption of naproxen in dogs is rapid, with peak plasma concentration reached in 0.5-3 hr. The reported elimination half-life in dogs is 34-72 hr. Naproxen is highly protein bound (>99.0%). In dogs, naproxen is primarily eliminated through the bile, whereas in other species, the primary route of elimination is through the kidneys. The long half-life of naproxen in dogs appears to be due to its extensive enterohepatic recirculation.

After therapeutic doses, naproxen is more than 99% bound to plasma proteins. When naproxen binding sites become saturated (at twice daily doses of 500 mg or more), plasma free drug concentrations increase and may result in increased urinary clearance rates. Therefore, plasma naproxen concentrations tend to plateau when dosage exceeds 500 mg twice daily. In a study in patients with severe renal failure, binding of naproxen to serum proteins was decreased compared to healthy adults; the decreased binding may have accounted for an increase in metabolism and apparent volume of distribution of the drug observed in these patients. In patients with chronic alcoholic liver disease, total plasma concentrations of naproxen are decreased while concentrations of the unbound drug are increased.

The pharmacokinetics of naproxen, its metabolite 6-hydroxy-alpha-methyl-2-naphthaleneacetic acid (O-desmethylnaproxen), and their acyl glucuronides were studied in 10 subjects (ages 20-50 yr) who received an oral dose of 500 mg naproxen. Mean half-life of naproxen in 9 subjects was 24.7 hr. A half-life of 7.4 hr in the 10th subject was considered an extraordinary case. Naproxen acyl glucuronide accounted for 50.8% of the dose, its isomerized conjugate isoglucuronide for 6.5%, O-desmethylnaproxen acyl glucuronide for 14.3%, and its isoglucuronide for 5.5%. Excretion of naproxen and O-desmethylnaproxen was negligible. Plasma protein binding was 98% for naproxen, 100% for O-desmethylnaproxen, 92% for naproxen acyl glucuronide, 66% for naproxen isoglucuronide, 72% for O-desmethylnaproxen acyl glucuronide, and 42% for O-desmethylnaproxen isoglucuronide. It was concluded that naproxen is O-desmethylated and parent drug and metabolite are conjugated into acyl glucuronides.

The effects of rheumatoid arthritis disease activity on the pharmacokinetics of the highly albumin-bound nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug naproxen were studied in six patients during chronic therapy. In the same patients, kinetics during active disease were compared with those in improvement. Active disease is commonly associated with hypoalbuminemia: 30 +/- 4 gm/L vs. 41 +/- 2 gm/L (mean +/- SD) at the time of improvement. Total naproxen concentrations were significantly lower in active disease, together with a larger apparent volume of distribution (10.6 +/- 1.8 L vs. 8.4 +/- 1.3 L; P less than 0.05) and total body clearance (0.79 +/- 1.8 L/hr vs. 0.59 +/- 0.14 L/hr; P less than 0.001). Peak unbound naproxen concentrations were 29% +/- 19% (P less than 0.05) lower at the time of improvement. The unbound clearance was found diminished during active disease (390 +/- 277 L/hr) in comparison with improvement (488 +/- 343 L/hr; P less than 0.05). Clinical implications of the alterations in naproxen kinetics induced by polyarticular inflammation in patients with rheumatoid arthritis are discussed.

Naproxen is heavily metabolized in the liver and undergoes both Phase I and Phase II metabolism. The first step involves demethylation of naproxen via CYP 1A2, 2C8, and 2C9. Both naproxen and desmethylnaproxen proceed to Phase II metabolism; however, desmethylnaproxen can form both acyl and phenolic glucoronide products, while naproxen only produces the acyl glucuronide. The acyl glucuronidation process involves UGT 1A1, 1A3, 1A6, 1A7, 1A9, 1A10 and 2B7, while phenolic glucuronidation is catalyzed by UGT 1A1, 1A7,1A9, and 1A10. Desmethylnaproxen also undergoes sulphation which is mediated by SULT 1A1, 1B1 and 1E1.
Naproxen is extensively metabolized in the liver to 6-desmethylnaproxen. Approximately 95% of the drug is excreted in urine as unchanged naproxen (less than 1%) and 6-desmethylnaproxen (less than 1%) and their glucuronide or other conjugates (66-92%). Some data suggest that renal excretion of unchanged naproxen may be negligible or absent; previously reported concentrations of unchanged drug may reflect rapid hydrolysis of conjugates during collection, storage, and handling of urine samples. The half-life of naproxen metabolites and conjugates is shorter than 12 hours. Naproxen metabolites may accumulate in patients with renal impairment. Elimination of naproxen is reduced in patients with severe renal impairment. A small amount (less than 5%) of the drug is excreted in feces.

It was concluded that naproxen is O-desmethylated and parent drug and metabolite are conjugated into acyl glucuronides.

As with other non-selective NSAIDs, naproxen exerts it's clinical effects by blocking COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes leading to decreased prostaglandin synthesis. Although both enzymes contribute to prostaglandin production, they have unique functional differences. The COX-1 enzymes is constitutively active and can be found in normal tissues such as the stomach lining, while the COX-2 enzyme is inducible and produces prostaglandins that mediate pain, fever and inflammation. The COX-2 enzyme mediates the desired antipyretic, analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties offered by Naproxen, while undesired adverse effects such as gastrointestinal upset and renal toxicities are linked to the COX-1 enzyme.
Naproxen has pharmacologic actions similar to those of other prototypical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIAs). The drug exhibits anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic activity. The exact mechanisms have not been clearly established, but many of the actions appear to be associated principally with the inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis. Naproxen inhibits the synthesis of prostaglandins in body tissues by inhibiting cyclooxygenase; at least 2 isoenzymes, cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) and -2 (COX-2) (also referred to as prostaglandin G/H synthase-1 (PGHS-1) and -2 (PGHS-2), respectively), have been identified that catalyze the formation of prostaglandins in the arachidonic acid pathway. Naproxen, like other prototypical NSAIAs, inhibits both COX-1 and COX-2. Although the exact mechanisms have not been clearly established, NSAIAs appear to exert anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic activity principally through inhibition of the COX-2 isoenzyme; COX-1 inhibition presumably is responsible for the drugs' unwanted effects on GI mucosa and platelet aggregation.

The anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic effects of naproxen and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIAs), including selective inhibitors of COX-2 (e.g., celecoxib, rofecoxib), appear to result from inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis. While the precise mechanism of the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of NSAIAs continues to be investigated, these effects appear to be mediated principally through inhibition of the COX-2 isoenzyme at sites of inflammation with subsequent reduction in the synthesis of certain prostaglandins from their arachidonic acid precursors. Naproxen stabilizes lysosomal membranes and inhibits the response of neutrophils to chemotactic stimuli. The drug does not possess glucocorticoid or adrenocorticoid-stimulating properties.
American Society of Health System Pharmacists; AHFS Drug Information 2009. Bethesda, MD. (2009), p. 2169
Naproxen lowers body temperature in patients with fever. Although the mechanism of the antipyretic effect of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents is not known, it has been suggested that suppression of prostaglandin synthesis in the CNS (probably in the hypothalamus) may be involved.
American Society of Health System Pharmacists; AHFS Drug Information 2009. Bethesda, MD. (2009), p. 2169
Naproxen-induced inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis may result in decreased frequency and intensity of uterine contractility. Prostaglandins E2 and F2alpha increase the amplitude and frequency of uterine contractions in pregnant women; current evidence suggests that primary dysmenorrhea is also mediated by these prostaglandins. Whether the increased production of prostaglandins associated with primary dysmenorrhea is mediated by COX-1 or COX-2 remains to be determined. Blood concentrations of a metabolite of prostaglandin F2alpha have been found to decrease in women with dysmenorrhea who were receiving naproxen. Therapy with naproxen has been effective in relieving menstrual pain and has reduced blood loss in women with menorrhagia, probably by inhibiting the formation of these prostaglandins. Administration of naproxen during late pregnancy may prolong gestation by inhibiting uterine contractions.

A Naproxen CEP of the European Pharmacopoeia monograph is often referred to as a Naproxen Certificate of Suitability (COS). The purpose of a Naproxen CEP is to show that the European Pharmacopoeia monograph adequately controls the purity of Naproxen EP produced by a given manufacturer. Suppliers of raw materials can prove the suitability of Naproxen to their clients by showing that a Naproxen CEP has been issued for it. The manufacturer submits a Naproxen CEP (COS) as part of the market authorization procedure, and it takes on the role of a Naproxen CEP holder for the record. Additionally, the data presented in the Naproxen CEP (COS) is managed confidentially and offers a centralized system acknowledged by numerous nations, exactly like the Naproxen DMF.
A Naproxen CEP (COS) is recognised by all 36 nations that make up the European Pharmacopoeia Convention. Naproxen CEPs may be accepted in nations that are not members of the Ph. Eur. at the discretion of the authorities there.

National Drug Code is a comprehensive database maintained by the FDA that contains information on all drugs marketed in the US. This directory includes information about finished drug products, unfinished drug products, and compounded drug products, including those containing Naproxen as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API).
The FDA updates the NDC directory daily. The NDC numbers for Naproxen API and other APIs are published in this directory by the FDA.
The NDC unfinished drugs database includes product listing information submitted for all unfinished drugs, such as active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), drugs intended for further processing and bulk drug substances for compounding.
Pharmaceutical companies that manufacture Naproxen as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) must furnish the FDA with an updated record of all drugs that they produce, prepare, propagate, compound, or process for commercial distribution in the US at their facilities.
The NDC directory also contains data on finished compounded human drug products that contain Naproxen and are produced by outsourcing facilities. While these outsourcing facilities are not mandated to assign a Naproxen NDC to their finished compounded human drug products, they may choose to do so.

A Naproxen CoA (Certificate of Analysis) is a formal document that attests to Naproxen's compliance with Naproxen specifications and serves as a tool for batch-level quality control.
Naproxen CoA mostly includes findings from lab analyses of a specific batch. For each Naproxen CoA document that a company creates, the USFDA specifies specific requirements, such as supplier information, material identification, transportation data, evidence of conformity and signature data.
Naproxen may be tested according to a variety of international standards, such as European Pharmacopoeia (Naproxen EP), Naproxen JP (Japanese Pharmacopeia) and the US Pharmacopoeia (Naproxen USP).
