AJANTA PHARMA USA INC. FDA Rx Only

The active ingredients of naproxen and esomeprazole magnesium delayed-release tablets are naproxen, USP which is an NSAID and esomeprazole magnesium, USP which is a Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI). Naproxen and esomeprazole magnesium delayed-release tablets are combination of a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug and a PPI available as an oval, yellow, multi-layer, delayed-release tablet combining an enteric-coated naproxen core and an immediate-release esomeprazole magnesium layer surrounding the core. Each strength contains either 375 mg of naproxen, USP and 20 mg of esomeprazole (equivalent to 21.75 mg esomeprazole magnesium dihydrate) or 500 mg of naproxen and 20 mg of esomeprazole (equivalent to 21.75 mg esomeprazole magnesium dihydrate) for oral administration. The inactive ingredients are microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, povidone, colloidal silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate, methacrylic acid and ethyl acrylate copolymer, talc, triethy citrate, hypromellose, macrogol, sodium lauryl sulfate, magnesium oxide, polyethylene glycol, ferric oxide yellow. The imprinting ink contains shellac glaze, black iron oxide, propylene glycol, ammonium hydroxide. The chemical name for naproxen, USP is (S)-2-(6-Methoxy-naphth-2-yl) propionic acid. Naproxen, USP has the following structure: Naproxen, USP has a molecular weight of 230.26 and a molecular formula of C 14 H 14 O 3 . Naproxen, USP is an odorless, white to off-white crystalline powder. It is practically insoluble in water and soluble in ethanol and methanol. The octanol/water partition coefficient of naproxen is 3.18. The chemical name for esomeprazole is Magnesium bis [5-methoxy-2-[(S)-[(4-methoxy-3,5-dimethylpyridin-2-yl)methyl]sulphinyl]-1Hbenzimidazol-1- ide]dihydrate.
