A multicenter study of the safety and efficacy of naproxen: Analysis of blood pressure

Q2 · MEDICINE

Article

Author: Goldberg, M A

A multicenter study was conducted to determine safety and efficacy of naproxen, 500 mg twice daily, administered for 4 weeks to osteoarthritis (OA) patients. OA symptoms improved in the study population. The study population included 97 patients, 43 of whom were 65 years of age or older. Forty-four of the 97 patients had a history of hypertension; 42 of these took antihypertensive medication before and during the study. Baseline blood pressure (BP) was measured in most patients while they were receiving their prior nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID) therapy; from that baseline, no increase in BP was seen in the hypertensive or normotensive patients after 4 weeks of naproxen therapy. In patients whose BP was controlled by antihypertensive agents, BP remained under control during naproxen therapy.
