Naproxen A Reappraisal of its Pharmacology, and Therapeutic Use in Rheumatic Diseases and Pain States

Abstract: Naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) advocated for use in painful and inflammatory rheumatic and certain nonrheumatic conditions. It may be administered orally or rectally using a convenient once or twice daily regimen. Dosage adjustments are not usually required in the elderly or those with mild renal or hepatic impairment although it is probably prudent to start treatment at a low dosage and titrate upwards in such groups of patients. Numerous clinical trials have confirmed that the anal… Show more

“…Naproxen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which is used with increasing frequency in the treatment of rheumatic diseases and related painful conditions [3] . Naproxen protein binding in plasma is high and also varied [4] and like other NSAIDs causes gastritis and peptic ulceration after oral administration [5].…”

“…1 Like other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, it inhibits the biosyntesis of prostaglandins. 1 The United States Pharmacopeia 2 2003 reports an highperformance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for the determination of naproxen tablets. Several analytical methods have been reported for the determination of naproxen in pharmaceutical preparations including UV-visible spectrophotomery, 3-5 spectrofluorimetry, 6-8 room temperature phosphorimetry, 9,10 voltametry, 11 high-performance liquid chromatography, 12-14 capillary electrophoresis, 15,16 coulometry 17 and oscilometric titration.…”

“…In fact the naproxen concentration gained in human aqueous (approximately 370 ng/ml = 1.5 M) is able to inhibit COX activity by at least 50% in selected human and animal tissue. 5 Preoperative good pupil dilatation is generally achieved using a combination of adrenergic agonists and cholinergic antagonists. Usually adrenaline is also used intracamerally as an irrigating solution to help maintain mydriasis during surgery.…”

“…3,4 Naproxen sodium is a well-known NSAID with established anti-inflammatory activity. 5 As an ophthalmic solution, it is able to decrease aqueous levels of proteins, polymorphonuclear leukocytes and PGE 2 following experimentally induced inflammation in rabbits. 6,7 In addition, topical sodium naproxen successfully maintains mydriasis induced by atropine following paracentesis in the rabbit eye.…”
