Pain

Bioequivalence of single dose extended release naproxen sodium (660 mg) tablet versus naproxen sodium (220 mg) tablet three times daily

Trial purpose

Bioequivalence trial in healthy adult subjects to determine the bioavailability of 3 different sustained release formulations of naproxen 660 mg relative to the established commercial Aleve 220 mg tablet.
