Naproxen Sodium Tablets

Function and Efficacy

Naproxen has dose-dependent anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic effects. The intensity of the anti-inflammatory effect is about 11 times that of the same dose of phenylbutazone, and the analgesic and antipyretic effects are 7 and 22 times that of aspirin. The anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic effects are equivalent to indomethacin. The mechanism of action of naproxen is that it inhibits COX activity and thus inhibits PG synthesis, but its selective inhibition of COX2 is stronger, so it has a strong anti-inflammatory effect and less gastrointestinal adverse reactions.

Precautions

It is prohibited for people who are allergic to aspirin, and should be used with caution by those with peptic ulcer or history of peptic ulcer.

Drug Interactions

1 When drinking alcohol or taking it with other anti-inflammatory drugs, gastrointestinal adverse reactions increase and there is a risk of ulcers. 2 When used with anticoagulants such as heparin and dicoumarol, the bleeding time is prolonged, bleeding tendency may occur, and there is a possibility of causing gastrointestinal ulcers. 3 When used with aspirin or other salicylic acid preparations, it does not enhance symptom relief, but increases gastrointestinal adverse reactions. 4 This product can reduce the sodium excretion and antihypertensive effects of furosemide. 5 This product can inhibit the excretion of lithium in the urine, thereby increasing the blood concentration of lithium. 6 When used with probenecid, the blood concentration of this product increases, t1/2 is prolonged, and the efficacy can be increased, but the toxicity reaction is also increased accordingly, so it has no practical value and should not be recommended in clinical practice.

Storage

Seal and store in a cool place.
