Popis: The in vivo behaviour of a novel sustained release formulation of naproxen was investigated using gamma scintigraphy in eight healthy male volunteers under fasted and fed conditions. Disintegration of the tablet into discrete sustained release pellets occurred in the stomach shortly after administration. Feeding resulted in a lag time prior to the onset of gastric emptying but food did not affect transit through the small intestine. Post-prandial administration of the sustained release formulation did not affect the disintegration of the tablet or the bioavailability of the drug.
