Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that irreversibly inhibits the H+/K+-ATPase enzyme system (proton pump) at the secretory surface of gastric parietal cells, suppressing basal and stimulated gastric acid secretion.
Lansoprazole inhibits gastric acid secretion by irreversibly binding to the H+/K+ ATPase (proton pump) in gastric parietal cells. Naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that inhibits cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2), reducing prostaglandin synthesis.
15 mg orally once daily for 14 days.
One tablet of naproxen 500 mg and one capsule of lansoprazole 15 mg taken together orally once daily. Naproxen component: 500 mg orally twice daily. Lansoprazole component: 15 mg orally once daily.

1.2-1.5 hours in healthy subjects; no accumulation with once-daily dosing.
Naproxen: 12–17 hours (mean ~14 h), prolonged with renal impairment. Esomeprazole: 1–1.5 hours (increase to 2–3 h with CYP2C19 poor metabolizers or hepatic impairment).
Approximately 66% renal (as metabolites), 33% fecal (primarily biliary); less than 1% unchanged in urine.
Naproxen: 95% renal (primarily as unchanged drug and metabolites, including 6-O-desmethyl naproxen), <5% biliary/fecal. Esomeprazole: 80% renal (as metabolites, primarily hydroxyesomeprazole and desmethyl-esomeprazole, with ~1% unchanged), 20% fecal (via bile).
