Phase I Study to Evaluate Bioavailability of Naproxen as PN400 Compared to Naproxen as Proxen S and Naprosyn E

Phase I, Open-label, Randomized, 3-way Crossover Study to Assess Relative Bioavailability of Single Oral Dose of Naproxen as PN400 Compared to Naproxen as Proxen S and Naprosyn E in Healthy Volunteers

The purpose of the study is to investigate the uptake in the body of naproxen; one of the two active substances in PN400. We also want to show that the body's uptake of naproxen given as PN400 is comparable to that of currently marketed naproxen tablets.
