Box 170 Boardman, Oregon 97818 481-9474 481-7351 Rx Pain Reliever Given OTC Status In January the U.S. food and Drug Administration (FDA) ap proved a prescription patn reliever as an over-the-counter (OTC) product. The medicine, naproxen. has been available on prescription for many years under the trade names Anaprox and Naprosyn. The nonprescription version of naproxen will be produced by Syntex Laboratories and distrib uted by Procter and Gamble under the name Aleve. According to a report in Pharmacy Today, this new product will be available as a 200 mg tablet. The FDA provided informa tion about why the medicine had not been approved earlier by its advisory committee. Committee .* members were concerned that con sumers might take too much naproxen, since this medicine takes I effect rather slowly. Large amounts of naproxen can cause heartburn and upset stomach. The committee also indicated that the medicine could be misused if given to chil dren. The FDA asked Syntex to reduce the daily dose and add label warnings. Children under 12 should not use naproxen except under the su pervision of a physician. For per sons 12 to 65, the maximum daily dose is 3 tablets with 8 to 12 hours between each dose. Those over 65 should take no more than 2 tablets daily (one every 12 hours). In the Service April 10.
