CAS 26159-34-2: Naproxen sodium
Description:Naproxen sodium is the sodium salt form of naproxen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) commonly used to relieve pain, inflammation, and fever. It is characterized by its ability to inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which play a crucial role in the synthesis of prostaglandins, mediators of inflammation and pain. The substance appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder and is soluble in water, making it suitable for oral and injectable formulations. Naproxen sodium has a relatively long half-life, allowing for twice-daily dosing in therapeutic applications. It is often used to treat conditions such as arthritis, menstrual pain, and other musculoskeletal disorders. While generally well-tolerated, it can cause side effects, including gastrointestinal discomfort, cardiovascular risks, and potential kidney effects, particularly with long-term use. As with all medications, it is essential to use naproxen sodium under medical supervision to mitigate risks and ensure appropriate dosing.
