Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) enzymes, reducing prostaglandin synthesis, which mediates inflammation, pain, and fever.

Terminal elimination half-life 12-17 hours; prolonged in elderly (up to 20 hours) and in renal impairment.
Terminal elimination half-life is 1.5-2.5 hours in healthy adults. In elderly or renally impaired patients, half-life may extend to up to 6 hours.
Renal excretion of metabolites (95%) and unchanged drug (<5%); biliary/fecal elimination minor (<5%).
Approximately 70% renal (30% unchanged, 40% as glucuronide conjugate), 30% fecal/biliary.
