Naproxen sodium nanoparticles are less toxic and gastroprotective agents than the conventional NSAID drug naproxen sodium in Balb/c mice
Toxicol Appl Pharmacol. 2022 Aug 8:116192. doi: 10.1016/j.taap.2022.116192. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTUse of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is one of the leading causes of gastric ulcers. Excellent therapeutic properties have made the use of NSAIDs widespread. Nano-drug delivery to reduce systemic toxicity through modulating drug pharmacokinetics may be a better choice. Presently, we investigated if naproxen nanoformulation (PVA capped NPRS-MgO NPs) is less toxic to be used as an alternative drug. Groups of mice were assigned to control, NPRS-treated, CNF-treated, UNF-treated, and MgO NPs-treated groups...

Analgesic efficacy of naproxen sodium versus hydrocodone/acetaminophen in acute postsurgical dental pain: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial
CONCLUSION: In moderate-to-severe postsurgical dental pain, a single dose of NapS was at least as effective as HYD+APAP in the early hours, significantly more effective at reducing pain intensity and providing greater pain relief over 12 hours, and was better tolerated. When not contraindicated, NapS should be considered a preferred alternative to opioid combinations for acute pain.

Pharmacokinetic linearity of naproxen and efficacy of naproxen sodium at various doses 
.
CONCLUSION: The pharmacokinetic linearity associated with NAP means that data on efficacy for the lower OTC doses of NAPSO can be extrapolated to the higher OTC doses. Thus, it is given that NAPSO 275 and 550 mg will be at least as effective as or superior to the lower doses of 220 and 440 mg.
