For a full list of excipients, see section 6.1.
3 PHARMACEUTICAL FORM
Gastro-resistant film-coated tablets.
Naproxen EC 500mg Tablets: an oblong, biconvex, white or almost white, film-coated tablet with a smooth surface containing 500mg of naproxen
4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 Therapeutic indications
Naproxen EC is indicated for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthrosis (degenerative arthritis), ankylosing spondylitis, acute musculoskeletal disorders (such as sprains and strains, direct trauma, lumbosacral pain, cervical spondylitis, tenosynovitis and fibrositis) and dysmenorrhoea.
4.2 Posology and method of administration
Naproxen EC tablets should be swallowed whole and not broken or crushed.
Undesirable effects may be minimised by using the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary to control symptoms (see section 4.4).
Adults
Rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and ankylosing spondylitis
The usual dose is 500mg to 1g daily taken in 2 doses at 12-hour intervals. Where 1g per day is needed either one 500mg tablet twice daily or two 500mg tablets in a single administration (morning or evening) is recommended. In the following cases a loading dose of 750mg or 1g per day for the acute phase is recommended:
a) In patients reporting severe night-time pain/or morning stiffness.
b) In patients being switched to Naproxen from a high dose of another anti-rheumatic compound.
c) In osteoarthrosis where pain is the predominant symptom.
Acute musculoskeletal disorders and dysmenorrhoea
500mg initially followed by 250mg at 6 - 8 hour intervals as needed, with a maximum daily dose after the first day of 1250mg.
Elderly
Studies indicate that although total plasma concentration of naproxen is unchanged, the unbound plasma fraction of naproxen is increased in the elderly. The implication of this finding for Naproxen EC dosing is unknown. As with other drugs used in the elderly it is prudent to use the lowest effective dose as elderly patients are more prone to adverse events. For the effect of reduced elimination in the elderly see section Use in patients with impaired renal function.
Children
Naproxen EC is not recommended for use in children under 16 years of age. Treatment should be reviewed at regular intervals and discontinued if no benefit is seen.
4.3 Contraindications
Active or history of peptic ulceration or active gastrointestinal bleeding, (two or more distinct episodes of proven ulceration or bleeding). History of gastrointestinal bleeding or perforation related to previous NSAIDs therapy
Hypersensitivity to naproxen and naproxen sodium formulations, or to any of the excipients.
Since the potential exists for cross-sensitivity reactions, Naproxen EC should not be given to patients in whom aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory/analgesic drugs induce the syndrome of asthma, rhinitis, nasal polyps or urticaria. These reactions have the potential of being fatal. Severe anaphylactic-like reactions to naproxen have been reported in such patients.
Severe renal, hepatic or heart failure.
Naproxen is contraindicated during the last trimester of pregnancy (see sction 4.6).
4.4 Special warnings and precautions for use
Undesirable effects may be minimised by using the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary to control symptoms (see section 4.2, and gastro-intestinal and cardiovascular risks below).
Patients treated with NSAIDs long-term should undergo regular medical supervision to monitor for adverse events.
Elderly and/or debilitated patients are particularly susceptible to the adverse events of NSAIDs. Especially gastrointestinal bleeding and perforation, which may be fatal. Prolonged use of the NSAIDs in the elderly is not recommended. Where prolonged therapy is required, patients should be reviewed regularly.
Episodes of gastro-intestinal bleeding have been reported in patients with naproxen therapy. Naproxen EC should be given under close supervision to patients with a history of gastro-intestinal disease.
Serious gastro-intestinal adverse reactions, can occur at any time in patients on therapy with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The risk of occurrence does not seem to change with duration of therapy. Studies to date have not identified any subset of patients not at risk of developing peptic ulcer and bleeding. However, elderly and debilitated patients tolerate gastro-intestinal ulceration or bleeding less well than others. Most of the serious gastro-intestinal events associated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs occurred in this patient population.
The antipyretic and anti-inflammatory activities of Naproxen EC may reduce fever and inflammation, thereby diminishing their utility as diagnostic signs.
Bronchospasm may be precipitated in patients suffering from, or with a history of, bronchial asthma or allergic disease.
As with other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, sporadic elevations in laboratory tests (e.g. liver function tests) have occurred in patients on naproxen therapy, these may be teh result of hypersensitivity rather than direct toxcivity. Severe hepatic reactions, including jaundice and hepatitis (some cases hepatitis have been fatal) have been reported with this drug as with other non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs. Cross reactivity has been reported.
Naproxen decreases platelet aggregation and prolongs bleeding time. This effect should be kept in mind when bleeding times are determined.
Mild peripheral oedema has been observed in a few patients receiving naproxen. Although sodium retention has not been reported in metabolic studies, it is possible that patients with questionable or compromised cardiac function may be at a greater risk when taking Naproxen EC.
Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, ulceration and perforation
Episodes of gastro-intestinal bleeding, ulceration or perforation which can be fatal, have been reported in patients with all NSAIDs, including naproxen, at anytime during treatment, with or without warning symptoms or a previous history of serious GI events.
Naproxen EC should be given under close supervision to patients with a history of gastro-intestinal disease.
Serious gastro-intestinal adverse reactions can occur at any time in patients on therapy with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The risk of GI bleeding, ulceration or perforation , does not seem to change with duration of therapy, but is higher with increasing NSAID doses. Studies to date have not identified any subset of patients not at risk of developing peptic ulcer and bleeding. However, elderly and debilitated patients with a history of ulcer, particularly if complicated with haemorrhage or perforation (see section 4.3), tolerate gastro-intestinal adverse reactions less well than others. Most of the serious gastro-intestinal events associated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs occurred in this patient population. These patients should commence treatment on the lowest dose available. Combination therapy with protective agents (e.g. misoprostol or proton pump inhibitors) should be considered for these patients, and also for patients requiring concomitant low dose aspirin, or other drugs likely to increase gastrointestinal risk (see section 4.5).
Patients with a history of GI toxicity, particularly when elderly, should report any unusual abdominal symptoms (especially GI bleeding) particularly in the initial stages of treatment.
Caution should be advised in patients receiving concomitant medications which could increase the risk of ulceration or bleeding, such as oral corticosteroid, anticoagulants such as warfarin, selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors or anti-platelet agents such as aspirin (see Section 4.5).
When GI bleeding or ulceration occurs in patients receiving Naprosyn, the treatment should be withdrawn.
NSAIDs should be given with care to patients with a history of gastrointestinal disease (ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease) as these conditions may be exacerbated (see Section 4.8).
Renal effects
There have been reports of impaired renal function, renal failure, acute interstitial nephritis, haematuria, proteinuria, renal papillary necrosis and occasionally nephrotic syndrome associated with naproxen.
Renal failure linked to reduced prostaglandin production The administration of an NSAID may cause a dose dependent reduction in prostaglandin formation and precipitate renal failure. Patients at greatest risk of this reaction are those with impaired renal function, cardiac impairment, liver dysfunction, those taking diuretics and the elderly. Renal function should be monitored in these patients (see also Section 4.3)
Use in patients with impaired renal function
As naproxen is eliminated to a large extent (95%) by urinary excretion via glomerular filtration, it should be used with great caution in patients with impaired renal function and the monitoring of serum creatinine and/or creatinine clearance is advised in these patients. Naproxen EC is contraindicated in patients having a baseline creatinine clearance of less than 30ml/minute.
Haemodialysis does not decrease the plasma concentration of naproxen because of the high degree of protein binding.
Certain patients, specifically those whose renal blood flow is compromised, because of extracellular volume depletion, cirrhosis of the liver, sodium restriction, congestive heart failure, and pre-existing renal disease, should have renal function assessed before and during Naproxen EC therapy. Some elderly patients in whom impaired renal function may be expected, as well as patients using diuretics, may also fall within this category. A reduction in daily dosage should be considered to avoid the possibility of excessive accumulation of naproxen metabolites in these patients.
Use in patients with impaired liver function
Chronic alcoholic liver disease and probably also other forms of cirrhosis reduce the total plasma concentration of naproxen, but the plasma concentration of unbound naproxen is increased. The implication of this finding for Naproxen EC dosing is unknown but it is prudent to use the lowest effective dose.
Haematological
Patients who have coagulation disorders or are receiving drug therapy that interferes with haemostasis should be carefully observed if naproxen-containing products are administered.
Patients at high risk of bleeding or those on full anti-coagulation therapy (e.g. dicoumarol derivatives) may be at increased risk of bleeding if given naproxen-containing products concurrently.
Anaphylactic (anaphylactoid) reactions
Hypersensitivity reactions may occur in susceptible individuals. Anaphylactic (anaphylactoid) reactions may occur both in patients with and without a history of hypersensitivity or exposure to aspirin, other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or naproxen-containing products. They may also occur in individuals with a history of angioedema, bronchospastic reactivity (e.g. asthma), rhinitis and nasal polyps.
Anaphylactoid reactions, like anaphylaxis, may have a fatal outcome.
Steroids
If steroid dosage is reduced or eliminated during therapy, the steroid dosage should be reduced slowly and the patients must be observed closely for any evidence of adverse effects, including adrenal insufficiency and exacerbation of symptoms of arthritis.
Ocular effects
Studies have not shown changes in the eye attributable to naproxen administration. In rare cases, adverse ocular disorders including papillitis, retrobulbar optic neuritis and papilloedema, have been reported in users of NSAIDs including naproxen, although a cause-and-effect relationship cannot be established; accordingly, patients who develop visual disturbances during treatment with naproxen-containing products should have an ophthalmological examination.
Precautions related to fertility
The use of naproxen, as with any drug known to inhibit
cyclooxygenase/prostaglandin synthesis, may impair fertility and is not recommended in women attempting to conceive. In women who have difficulty conceiving or are undergoing investigation of infertility, withdrawal of naproxen should be considered.
Combination with other NSAIDs
The combination of naproxen-containing products and other NSAIDs is not recommended, because of the cumulative risks of inducing serious NSAID-related adverse events.
Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular effects
Appropriate monitoring and advice are required for patients with a history of hypertension and/or mild to moderate congestive heart failure as fluid retention and oedema have been reported in association with NSAID therapy.
Clinical trial and epidemiological data suggest that use of coxibs and some NSAIDs (particularly at high doses and in long term treatment) may be associated with a small increased risk of arterial thrombotic events (for example myocardial infarction or stroke). Although data suggest that the use of naproxen (1000 mg daily) may be associated with a lower risk, some risk cannot be excluded.
Patients with uncontrolled hypertension, congestive heart failure, established ischaemic heart disease, peripheral arterial disease and/or cerebrovascular disease should only be treated with naproxen after careful consideration. Similar consideration should be made before initiating longer-term treatment of patients with risk factors for cardiovascular events (e.g. hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, diabetes mellitus, smoking).
SLE and mixed connective tissue disease
In patients with systemic lupus erythematous (SLE) and mixed connective tissue disorders there may be an increased risk of aseptic meningitis (see section 4.8).
Dermatological
Serious skin reactions, some of them fatal, including exfoliative dermatitis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and toxic epidermal necrolysis have been reported very rarely in association with the use of NSAIDs(see section 4.8). Patients appear to be at highest risk for these reactions early in the course of therapy: the onset of teh reactions occurring in the majority of cases within the first month of treatment. Naproxen should be discontinued at the first appearance of skin rash, mucosal lesions, or any other sign of hypersensitivity.
4.5 Interaction with other medicinal products and other forms of interaction
Concomitant administration of antacid or colestyramine can delay the absorption of naproxen but does not affect its extent. Concomitant administration of food can delay the absorption of naproxen, but does not affect its extent.
Due to the high plasma protein binding of naproxen, patients simultaneously receiving hydantoins, anticoagulants other NSAIDs, aspirin or a highly protein-bound sulphonamide should be observed for signs of overdosage of these drugs. Patients simultaneously receiving Naproxen and hydantoin, suplonamide or sulphnylurea should be observed for adjustment or dose if required. No interactions have been observed in clinical studies with naproxen and anticoagulants or sulphonylureas, but caution is nevertheless advised since interaction has been seen with other nonsteroidal agents of this class.
It is considered unsafe to take NSAIDs in combination with warfarin or heparin unless under direct medical supervision as NSAIDs may enhance the effects of anti-coaagulants (see section 4.4).
The natriuretic effect of furosemide has been reported to be inhibited by some drugs of this class.
Inhibition of renal lithium clearance leading to increases in plasma lithium concentrations has also been reported.
Naproxen and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can reduce the antihypertensive effect of antihypertensives propranolol and other beta-blockers and may increase the risk of renal impairment associated with the use of ACE-inhibitors.
Probenecid given concurrently increases naproxen plasma levels and extends its halflife considerably.
Caution is advised when Naprosyn is co-administered with diuretics as there can be a decreased diuretic effect. The natriuretic effect of furosemide has been reported to be inhibited by some drugs of this class. Diuretics can increase the risk of nephrotoxicity of NSAIDs.
As with all NSAIDs caution is advised when ciclosporin is co-administered because of the increased risk of nephrotoxicity.
NSAIDs should not be used for 8 - 12 days after mifepristone administration as NSAIDs can reduce the effects of mifepristone.
As with all NSAIDs, caution should be taken when co-administering with corticosteroids because of the increased risk of gastrointestinal ulceration or bleeding.
Animal data indicate that NSAIDs can increase the risk of convulsions associated with quinolone antibiotics. Patients taking quinolones may have an increased risk of developing convulsions.
Other analgesics including cyclooxygenase-2 selective inhibitors: the concomitant administration of two or more NSAIDs (including aspirin) should be avoided, as this may increase the risk of adverse effects (see section 4.4).
It is suggested that Naproxen EC therapy be temporarily discontinued 48 hours before adrenal function tests are performed, because naproxen may artifactually interfere with some tests for 17-ketogenic steroids.
Similarly, naproxen may interfere with some assays of urinary 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid.
There is an increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding (see Section 4.4) when antiplatelet agents and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are combined with NSAIDs.
There is a possible risk of nephrotoxicity when NSAIDs are given with tacrolimus.
There is an increased risk of haematological toxicity when NSAIDs are given with zidovudine. There is evidence of an increased risk of haemarthroses and haematoma in HIV (+) haemophiliacs receiving concurrent treatment with zidovudine and ibuprofen.
4.6 Fertility, pregnancy and lactation
Pregnancy
Congenital abnormalities have been reported in association with NSAID administration in man; however, these are low in frequency and do not appear to follow any discernible pattern. As with other drugs of this type, naproxen produces delay in parturition in animals and also affects the human foetal cardiovascular system (closure of ductus arteriosus). Use of Naproxen in the last trimester of pregnancy is contraindicated (see Section 4.3). NSAIDs should not be used during the first two trimesters of pregnancy unless clearly needed, and unless the potential benefit to the patient outweighs the potential risk to the foetus.
Labour and delivery
Naproxen containing products are not recommended in labour and delivery because, through its prostaglandin synthesis inhibitory effect, naproxen may adversely affect foetal circulation and inhibit contractions, thus increasing the risk of haemorrhage in both mother and child.
BreastfeedingNaproxen has been found in the milk of lactating women. The use of Naproxen EC should therefore be avoided in patients who are breast-feeding.
See section 4.4 regarding female fertility
4.7 Effects on ability to drive and use machines
Some patients may experience drowsiness, dizziness, vertigo, insomnia, fatigue, visial disturbances or depression with the use of Naproxen. If patients experience these or similar undesirable effects, they should not drive or operate machinery.
4.8 Undesirable effects
The following adverse events have been reported with NSAIDs and with naproxen. Blood and lymphatic system disorders: Neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, granulocytopenia including agranulocytosis, eosinophilia, leucopenia, vasculitis, aplastic anaemia and haemolytic anaemia.
Immune system disorders: Hypersensitivity reactions have been reported following treatment with NSAIDs in patients with, or without, a history of previous hypersensitivity reactions to NSAIDs. These may consist of
(a) non-specific allergic reactions and
(b) respiratory tract reactivity comprising asthma, aggravated asthma, bronchospasm or dyspnoea, or
(c) assorted skin disorders, including rashes of various types, pruritus, urticaria, purpura, angioneurotic oedema and more rarely exfoliative and bullous dermatoses (including epidermal necrolysis and erythema multiforme).
Metabolism and nutrition disorders: hyperkalaemia.
Psychiatric disorders: insomnia, dream abnormalities, depression, confusion and hallucinations.
Nervous system disorders: Convulsions, dizziness, headache, lightheadedness, paraesthesia, retrobulbar optic neuritis, drowsiness, inability to concentrate and cognitive dysfunction have been reported. Aseptic meningitis(especially in patients with existing auto-immune disorders, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, mixed connective tissue disease), with symptoms such as stiff neck, headache, nausea, vomiting, fever or disorientation (see section 4.4),
Eye disorders: visual disturbances, corneal opacity, papillitis, and papilloedema.
Ear and labyrinth disorders: Tinnitus, hearing disturbances including impairment and vertigo.
Cardiac disorders: Oedema, palpitations, cardiac failure, congestive heart failure have been reported with NSAID treatment.
Clinical trial and epidemiological data suggest that use of coxibs and some NSAIDs (particularly at high doses and in long term treatment) may be associated with a small increased risk of arterial thrombotic events (for example myocardial infarction or stroke) (see section 4.4).
Vascular disorders: Hypertension, vasculitis.
Respiratory, thoracic and mediastinal disorders: Dyspnoea, asthma, eosinophilic pneumonitis and pulmonary oedema.
Gastrointestinal disorders: The most commonly observed adverse reactions are gastrointestinal in nature. Heartburn, nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhoea, flatulence, dyspepsia, abdominal discomfort and epigastric distress. More serious reactions which may occur occasionally are gastro-intestinal bleeding, which is sometimes fatal, particularly in the elderly (see section 4.4), peptic ulceration (sometimes with haemorrhage and perforation), non-peptic gastro-intestinal ulceration, melaena, haematemesis and exacerbation of ulcerative colitis and Chrohn’s disease (see section 4.4). Jaundice, fatal hepatitis, stomatitis, ulcerative stomatitis, abnormal liver function tests, oesophagitis, gastritis and pancreatitis have been reported rarely.
Hepatobiliary disorders: Jaundice, fatal hepatitis and abnormal liver function tests.
Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders: Skin rashes including fixed drug eruption, itching (pruritis), urticaria, ecchymoses, purpura, sweating. Alopecia, erythema multiforme, Stevens Johnson syndrome, erythema nodosum, lichen planus, pustular reaction, SLE, epidermal necrolysis, very rarely toxic epidermal necrolysis and photosensitivity reactions (including cases in which the skin resembles porphyria cutanea tarda, "pseudoporphyria") or epidermolysis bullosa-like reactions may occur rarely.
If skin fragility, blistering or other symptoms suggestive of pseudoporphyria occur, treatment should be discontinued and the patient monitored.
Renal and urinary disorders: Including but not limited to glomerular nephritis, interstitial nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, haematuria, hyperkalaemia, raised serum creatinine, renal papillary necrosis and renal failure.
Reproductive system and breast disorders: Female infertility.
General disorders and administration site conditions: Thirst, pyrexia, mild peripheral oedema, malaise and fatigue.
4.9 Overdose
Significant overdosage of the drug may be characterised by headache, drowsiness, heartburn, epigastric pain, gastrointestinal bleeding, rarely diarrhoea, disorientation, excitation, dizziness, tinnitus, fainting, indigestion, nausea or vomiting. Renal dysfunction and liver damage are possible in case of significant poisoning. Respiratory depression and coma may occur after the ingestion of NSAIDs but are rare.
In one case of naproxen overdose, transient prolongation of the prothrombin time due to hypotrhrombinaemia may have been due to selective inhibition of the synthesis of vitamin-K dependent clotting factors.
A few patients have experienced seizures, but it is not known whether these were naproxen-related or not. It is not known what dose of the drug would be life-threatening.
Should an adult patient ingest a large amount of Naproxen EC accidentally or purposefully, the stomach may be emptied(within one hour) and usual supportive measures employed. Animal studies indicate that the prompt administration (within one hour) of activated charcoal in adequate amounts would tend to reduce markedly the absorption of the drug.
Good urine output should be ensured.
Renal and liver function should be closely monitored.
Patients should be observed for at least four hours after ingestion of potentially toxic amounts.
Frequent or prolonged convulsions should be treated with intravenous diazepam.
Other measures may be indicated by the patient's clinical condition.
Haemodialysis does not decrease the plasma concentration of naproxen because of the high degree of protein binding. However, haemodialysis may still be appropriate in a patient with renal failure who has taken naproxen.
5 PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
5.1 Pharmacodynamic properties
ATC code: M01A E02 (anti-inflammatory and antirheumatic products, non-steroids, propionic acid derivatives).
Naproxen has been shown to have anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic properties when tested in classical animal test systems. It exhibits its antiinflammatory effect even in adrenalectomised animals, indicating that its action is not mediated through the pituitary-adrenal axis. It inhibits prostaglandin synthetase, as do other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents. As with other agents, however, the exact mechanism of its anti-inflammatory action is not known.
5.2 Pharmacokinetic properties
Naproxen is completely absorbed from the gastro-intestinal tract, and peak plasma levels are reached in 2 to 4 hours. Naproxen is present in the blood mainly as unchanged drug, extensively bound to plasma proteins. The plasma half-life is between 12 and 15 hours, enabling a steady state to be achieved within 3 days of initiation of therapy on a twice daily dose regimen. The degree of absorption is not significantly affected by either foods or most antacids. Excretion is almost entirely via the urine, mainly as conjugated naproxen, with some unchanged drug.
Metabolism in children is similar to that in adults. Chronic alcoholic liver disease reduces the total plasma concentration of naproxen but the concentration of unbound naproxen increases. In the elderly, the unbound plasma concentration of naproxen is increased although total plasma concentration is unchanged.
When naproxen is administered in the enteric-coated form, the peak plasma levels are delayed compared to those seen with standard tablets. However, the mean areas under the plasma concentration-time curves, and hence bioavailability, are equivalent. The tablets, therefore, perform as one would anticipate for a drug which does not disintegrate until it reaches the small intestine, where dissolution is rapid and complete.
5.3 Preclinical safety data
No evidence of carcinogenicity was found in rats. Reproduction studies performed in rats, rabbits and mice at doses up to 6 times the human dose revealed no evidence of impaired fertility or harm to the foetus. As with other drugs known to inhibit prostaglandin synthesis, an increased incidence of dystocia and delayed parturition occurred in rats.
