· High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Naproxen , Naproxen Sodium .
Naproxen is a common NSAID used for pain relief and fever reducer. It has the chemical formula C 14 H 14 O 3 . It works through inhibiting the body’s production of prostaglandins, therefore preventing pain and inflammation. It is available over-the-counter at lower dosages, and through prescription at higher dosages. As a NSAID, it carries a risk of heart attack, stroke, and gastrointestinal bleeding.
