Where does this data come from?

Data sourced from official FDA Structured Product Labeling (SPL) via DailyMed — ingredient classCode="IACT" elements from the exact product block matched by this NDC. Label-section narrative from DailyMed / the openFDA label index is shown separately when available.

Inactive ingredient FAQ

Are inactive ingredients the same for every manufacturer?

No. Inactive ingredients can differ by manufacturer, dosage form, strength, and package / product version.

Why might an inactive ingredient be missing?

Some SPLs do not provide a complete structured inactive-ingredient list, and older or unusual labels may only include the information in narrative text.

Can inactive ingredients matter?

Yes. They can matter for allergies, intolerances, dyes, gluten / lactose concerns, preservatives, and formulation differences — but confirm with a pharmacist or the manufacturer when it’s clinically important.

💲 Pricing

A drug doesn't have one price. Each row is a different public payment system, and none is what you'd pay at the counter — that depends on your insurance. The ⓘ on each row explains what it measures.

Where does this data come from?

NADAC (National Average Drug Acquisition Cost) is the CMS weekly pharmacy-acquisition-cost survey — what pharmacies pay. ASP (Average Sales Price) is the CMS Medicare Part B drug-payment file, published quarterly. Medicaid pays is computed by us from CMS State Drug Utilization Data (total reimbursed ÷ units, trailing 12 months) — gross of rebates and inclusive of dispensing fees, so it reflects what Medicaid paid, not an acquisition cost. Medicare drug plans pay is the median negotiated point-of-sale unit cost across plans listing this NDC in the CMS quarterly Prescription Drug Plan pricing files, before rebates. The VA pays is the federal contract price (FSS, and the statutory Big 4 ceiling where listed) from the VA National Acquisition Center pharmaceutical price file. All are free public government data; each measures a different payer, so the figures are not directly comparable.

🔒Generic approved by FDA, but pharmacy availability is not confirmed

The FDA lists approved generic versions of this medicine, but that does not always mean a pharmacy can get one today. Patent rules, launch agreements, supply and pricing can affect when generics actually arrive.

🛡️ Latest patent/protection date listed: The latest listed FDA patent/protection lapsed Apr 2026 — those protections no longer apply, though a generic still needs FDA approval and a manufacturer to market it.

Why the date isn’t exact: Generic timing can change because patents may be challenged, settled, licensed, added, removed, or worked around with a narrower label — and FDA approval does not always mean a pharmacy can get the generic today.

🏛️FDA exclusivity

FDA-granted marketing protection. It’s separate from patents and may be shorter than patent protection.

🧪Product / substance patents

Patents covering the active ingredient, product, formulation, or related drug features.

🎯Method-of-use patents

Patents covering specific approved uses. These can sometimes be carved out with a “skinny label,” but not always.

🛈 What do these terms mean?

Patent: Legal protection listed in the Orange Book that may delay generic approval or launch. Issued by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office.
Substance patent: Covers the active drug molecule itself — the hardest to design around. A generic generally can’t launch until it expires.
Formulation (product) patent: Covers a specific formulation or dosage form. A generic can sometimes work around it with a different formulation.
Method-of-use patent: A patent covering one specific approved use of the drug — not necessarily the whole molecule. A generic can sometimes launch with a “skinny label” that carves out the protected use and keeps the others.
Skinny label: A generic label that omits a still-patented use when the FDA allows it — letting a generic reach the market for the unprotected uses.
Exclusivity: FDA-granted marketing protection, separate from patents — e.g. 5-yr new chemical entity, 7-yr orphan drug, or a +6-month pediatric extension.
Paragraph IV: A generic applicant’s formal challenge to a listed patent. It can potentially lead to earlier generic entry, but often involves litigation or a settlement.
RLD / RS: Reference Listed Drug — the brand product the FDA uses as the reference for generic applications. Reference Standard — the product the FDA expects generics to compare against in bioequivalence testing.
TE / AB rating: FDA therapeutic-equivalence rating. An AB rating generally means the FDA considers a generic therapeutically equivalent to — and substitutable for — the brand.
LOE (loss of exclusivity): The latest patent or exclusivity currently listed — the loss-of-exclusivity / latest-listed-protection date shown on this page. Paragraph-IV challenges and settlements can move the real date earlier; FDA approval and a manufacturer’s decision to market can move it later.

Built from the FDA Orange Book. The bars above are scaled to each protection’s expiry; the red LOE marker is the last one to lapse.

Common questions

Is there a generic version of SUMATRIPTAN-NAPROXEN 85-500 MG?

Yes — an FDA-approved generic equivalent is listed in the FDA Orange Book for SUMATRIPTAN-NAPROXEN 85-500 MG. See the alternatives section for substitutable, lower-cost products.

The FDA approved a generic — why can’t I get it at my pharmacy yet?

FDA approval and pharmacy availability are two different things. The FDA can approve a generic years before it actually reaches pharmacies, because the brand company may still hold patents or have a settlement that delays the launch. A manufacturer also has to choose to make and sell it, and have supply ready. So a drug can be “FDA-approved generic exists” and still be brand-only at the counter today.

Why do different websites show different generic release dates?

Generic availability is not based on one single date. Some sources use the first exclusivity expiration, some use the last product patent, and others use the latest method-of-use patent. Patent challenges, settlements, licenses, and label carve-outs can also change the real-world launch date. This page shows the underlying Orange Book dates so you can see why estimates may differ.

What does “FDA listed” mean?

It means the product appears in the FDA’s official NDC directory. That’s a good sign a product exists and is intended for the U.S. market, but on its own it does not confirm a pharmacy can fill it today. Where we have recent retail pricing data (NADAC) for a product, we label it “Availability likely” instead.

What does a patent or protection date mean here?

It’s the latest date currently listed in the FDA Orange Book for a patent or exclusivity on the brand product. It can affect when a full generic version becomes widely available — but it is not a guaranteed generic launch date. Generics sometimes arrive earlier (through a settlement or patent challenge) or later (a manufacturer still has to make and sell one).

What does “current Orange Book estimate” mean?

It means we are using the latest patent and exclusivity dates currently listed in the FDA Orange Book. It is not a guaranteed launch date.

Can a generic come out before the last patent expires?

Sometimes. A generic company may challenge a patent, settle with the brand manufacturer, receive a license, or obtain approval with a narrower label that avoids a patented use. In other cases, the last listed protection may delay full-label generic competition.

Can a generic come out after the listed dates?

Yes. Even after patents or exclusivity expire, a generic still needs FDA approval and a manufacturer must choose to market it. Supply, litigation, business decisions, or regulatory issues can delay actual availability.

What is the difference between patents and exclusivity?

Patents are legal protections usually issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. FDA exclusivity is marketing protection granted by the FDA. They are separate, and either one can affect generic timing.

Why are there multiple patent dates?

One drug can have several patents covering different things: the active ingredient, a formulation, a manufacturing process, or a specific approved use. That is why a page may show several expiration dates instead of one simple generic date.

Built from FDA Orange Book patent and exclusivity data. Dates are refreshed from public FDA data when available; the marker is max(latest patent expiry, latest exclusivity expiry). Paragraph-IV settlements and first-filer 180-day exclusivity can shift the real date; a method-of-use patent may allow an earlier skinny-label generic for non-protected indications. Generic launch timing is an estimate, not a guarantee.

Where does this data come from?

Patents and exclusivity from the FDA Orange Book (small-molecule drugs), refreshed from public FDA data. Generic launch timing is an estimate, not a guarantee.

Avoid use of NSAIDs in women at about 30 weeks gestation and later in pregnancy due to the risks of oligohydramnios/fetal renal dysfunction and premature closure of the fetal ductus arteriosus. ( 5.16 , 8.1 ) Hematologic Toxicity: Monitor hemoglobin or hematocrit in patients with any signs or symptoms of anemia.

( 5.17 ) Exacerbation of Asthma Related to Aspirin Sensitivity: Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets is contraindicated in patients with aspirin-sensitive asthma. Monitor patients with preexisting asthma (without aspirin sensitivity). ( 5.18 )

5.1Cardiovascular Thrombotic Events The use of Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets is contraindicated in patients with ischemic or vasospastic coronary artery disease (CAD) and in the setting of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery due to increased risk of serious cardiovascular events with sumatriptan and NSAIDS [see Contraindications (4) ] . Cardiovascular Events with Sumatriptan There have been rare reports of serious cardiac adverse reactions, including acute myocardial infarction, occurring within a few hours following administration of sumatriptan.

Some of these reactions occurred in patients without known CAD. Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets may cause coronary artery vasospasm (Prinzmetal's angina), even in patients without a history of CAD. Cardiovascular Thrombotic Events with Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs Clinical trials of several COX-2 selective and nonselective NSAIDs of up to three years duration have shown an increased risk of serious cardiovascular (CV) thrombotic events, including myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke, which can be fatal.

Based on available data, it is unclear that the risk for CV thrombotic events is similar for all NSAIDs. Th…

🔄 Drug Interactions ~3 min read ▾

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS Drugs that Interfere with Hemostasis (e.g. warfarin, aspirin, SSRIs/SNRIs): Monitor patients for bleeding who are concomitantly taking Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets with drugs that interfere with hemostasis. Concomitant use of Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets and analgesic doses of aspirin is not generally recommended. ( 7.1 ) ACE Inhibitors and ARBs: Concomitant use with Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets in elderly, volume depleted, or those with renal impairment may result in deterioration of renal function.

In such high risk patients, monitor for signs of worsening renal function. ( 7.1 ) Diuretics: NSAIDs can reduce natriuretic effect of loop and thiazide diuretics. Monitor patients to assure diuretic efficacy including antihypertensive effects.

( 7.1 ) Digoxin: Concomitant use with Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets can increase serum concentration and prolong half-life of digoxin. Monitor serum digoxin levels. ( 7.1 ) Lithium: Increases lithium plasma levels.

( 7.1 ) Methotrexate: Increases methotrexate plasma levels. ( 7.1 )

7.1Clinically Significant Drug Interactions with Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets See Table 3 for clinically significant drug interactions with NSAIDs or Sumatriptan. Table 3. Clinically Significant Drug Interactions with Naproxen or Sumatriptan Ergot-Containing Drugs Clinical Impact: Ergot-containing drugs have been reported to cause prolonged vasospastic reactions.

Intervention: Because these effects may be additive, coadministration of Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets and ergotamine-containing or ergot-type medications (like dihydroergotamine or methysergide) within 24 hours of each other is contraindicated. Monoamine Oxidase-A Inhibitors Clinical Impact: MAO-A inhibitors increase systemic exposure of orally administered sumatriptan by 7-fold. Intervention: The use of Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets in patients receiving MAO-A inhibitors is contraindicated.

Other 5-HT 1 Agonists Clinical Impact: 5-HT 1 agonist drugs can cause vasospastic effects. Intervention: Because these effects may be additive, coadministration of Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets and other 5 HT 1 agonists (e.g., triptans) within 24 hours of each other is contraindicated. Drugs That Interfere with Hemostasis Clinical Impact: Naproxen and anticoagulants such as warfarin have a synergistic effect on bleeding.

The concomitant use of naproxen and anticoagulants have an increased risk of serious bleeding compared to the use of either drug alone. Serotonin release by platelets plays an important role in hemostasis. Case-control and cohort epidemiological studies showed that concomitant use of drugs that interfere with serotonin reuptake and an NSAID may potentiate the risk of bleeding more than an NSAID alone.

Intervention: Monitor patients with concomitant use of Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets with anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin), antiplatelet agents (e.g., aspirin), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) for signs of bleeding [see Warnings and Precautions (5.17) ] . Aspirin Clinical Impact: A pharmacodynamic (PD) study has demonstrated an interaction in which lower dose naproxen (220mg/day or 220mg twice daily) interfered with the antiplatelet effect of low-dose immediate-release aspirin, with the interaction most marked during the washout period of naproxen [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.2) ] .

There is reason to expect that the interaction would be present with prescription doses of naproxen or with enteric-coated low-dose aspirin; however, the peak interference with aspirin function may be later than observed in the PD study due to the longer washout period. Controlled clinical studies showed that the concomitant use of NSAIDs and analgesic doses of aspirin does not produce any greater therapeutic effect than the use of NSAIDs alone. In a clinical study, the concomitant use of…

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Infertility: NSAIDs are associated with reversible infertility. Consider withdrawal of Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets in women who have difficulties conceiving ( 8.3 )

8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary Use of NSAIDs, including Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets, can cause premature closure of the fetal ductus arteriosus and fetal renal dysfunction leading to oligohydramnios and, in some cases, neonatal renal impairment. Because of these risks, limit dose and duration of Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets use between about 20 and 30 weeks of gestation, and avoid Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets use at about 30 weeks of gestation and later in pregnancy ( see Clinical Considerations , Data ).

Premature Closure of Fetal Ductus Arteriosus Use of NSAIDs, including Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets, at about 30 weeks gestation or later in pregnancy increases the risk of premature closure of the fetal ductus arteriosus. Oligohydramnios/Neonatal Renal Impairment Use of NSAIDs at about 20 weeks gestation or later in pregnancy has been associated with cases of fetal renal dysfunction leading to oligohydramnios, and in some cases, neonatal renal impairment. Data from observational studies regarding other potential embryofetal risks of NSAID use in women in the first or second trimesters of pregnancy are inconclusive.

Data from a prospective pregnancy exposure registry and epidemiological studies of pregnant women have not detected an increased frequency of birth defects or a consistent pattern of birth defects among women exposed to sumatriptan compared with the general population ( see Human Data ). In animal studies, administration of sumatriptan and naproxen, alone or in combination, during pregnancy resulted in developmental toxicity (increased incidences of fetal malformations, embryofetal and pup mortality, decreased embryofetal growth) at clinically relevant doses ( see Animal Data ).

Based on animal data, prostaglandins have been shown to have an important role in endometrial vascular permeability, blastocyst implantation, and decidualization. In animal studies, administration of prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors such as naproxen sodium resulted in increased pre- and post-implantation loss. Prostaglandins also have been shown to have an important role in fetal kidney development.

In published animal studies, prostaglandin synthesis inhibitors have been reported to impair kidney development when administered at clinically relevant doses. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defects, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2-4% and 15-20%, respectively.

The reported rate of major birth defects among deliveries to women with migraine ranged from 2.2% to 2.9% and the reported rate of miscarriage was 17%, which were similar to rates reported in women without migraine. Clinical Considerations Disease-Associated Maternal and/or Embryo/Fetal Risk Several studies have suggested that women with migraine may be at increased risk of preeclampsia and gestational hypertension during pregnancy. Fetal/Neonatal Adverse Reactions Premature Closure of Fetal Ductus Arteriosus: Avoid use of NSAIDs in women at about 30 weeks gestation and later in pregnancy, because NSAIDs, including Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets, can cause premature closure of the fetal ductus arteriosus ( see Data ).

Oligohydramnios/Neonatal Renal Impairment: If an NSAID is necessary at about 20 weeks gestation or later in pregnancy, limit the use to the lowest effective dose and shortest duration possible. If Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets treatment extends beyond 48 hours, consider monitoring with ultrasound for oligohydramnios. If oligohydramnios occurs, discontinue Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets and follow up according to clinical practice ( see Data ).

🧓 Geriatric Use 116 words ▾

8.5Geriatric Use Elderly patients, compared to younger patients, are at greater risk for NSAID-associated serious cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and/or renal adverse reactions. Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets is not recommended for use in elderly patients who have decreased renal function, higher risk for unrecognized CAD, and increases in blood pressure that may be more pronounced in the elderly [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1 , 5.2 , 5.3 , 5.8 , 5.12) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . A cardiovascular evaluation is recommended for geriatric patients who have other cardiovascular risk factors (e.g., diabetes, hypertension, smoking, obesity, strong family history of CAD) prior to receiving Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] .

🆘 Overdosage ~1 min read ▾

10 OVERDOSAGE Patients (N = 670) have received single oral doses of 140 to 300 mg of sumatriptan without significant adverse effects. Volunteers (N = 174) have received single oral doses of 140 to 400 mg without serious adverse events. Overdose of sumatriptan in animals has been fatal and has been heralded by convulsions, tremor, paralysis, inactivity, ptosis, erythema of the extremities, abnormal respiration, cyanosis, ataxia, mydriasis, salivation, and lacrimation.

Symptoms following acute NSAID overdosages have been typically limited to lethargy, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting and epigastric pain. Gastrointestinal bleeding has occurred. Hypertension, acute renal failure, respiratory depression, and coma have occurred, but were rare [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1 , 5.2) ] .

Manage patients with symptomatic and supportive care following an NSAID overdosage. There are no specific antidotes. Consider emesis and/or activated charcoal (60 to 100 grams in adults, 1 to 2 grams per kg of body weight in pediatric patients) and/or osmotic cathartic in symptomatic patients seen within four hours of ingestion or in patients with a large overdosage (5 to 10 times the recommended dosage).

Hemodialysis does not decrease the plasma concentration of naproxen because of the high degree of its protein binding. It is unknown what effect hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis has on the serum concentrations of sumatriptan. Forced diuresis, alkalinization of urine, hemodialysis, or hemoperfusion may not be useful due to high protein binding.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY

12.1Mechanism of Action Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets contains sumatriptan and naproxen. Sumatriptan binds with high affinity to cloned 5-HT 1B / 1D receptors. Sumatriptan presumably exerts its therapeutic effects in the treatment of migraine headache through agonist effects at the 5-HT 1B/1D receptors on intracranial blood vessels and sensory nerves of the trigeminal system, which result in cranial vessel constriction and inhibition of neuropeptide release.

Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets has analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic properties. The mechanism of action of Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets, like that of other NSAIDs, is not completely understood but involves inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2). Naproxen is a potent inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis in vitro .

Naproxen concentrations reached during therapy have produced in vivo effects. Prostaglandins sensitize afferent nerves and potentiate the action of bradykinin in inducing pain in animal models. Prostaglandins are mediators of inflammation.

Because naproxen is an inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis, its mode of action may be due to a decrease of prostaglandins in peripheral tissues.

12.2Pharmacodynamics In a healthy volunteer study, 10 days of concomitant administration of naproxen 220 mg once-daily with low-dose immediate-release aspirin (81 mg) showed an interaction with the antiplatelet activity of aspirin as measured by % serum thromboxane B 2 inhibition at 24 hours following the day 10 dose [98.7% (aspirin alone) vs 93.1% (naproxen and aspirin)]. The interaction was observed even following discontinuation of naproxen on day 11 (while aspirin dose was continued) but normalized by day 13. In the same study, the interaction was greater when naproxen was administered 30 minutes prior to aspirin [98.7% vs 87.7%] and minimal when aspirin was administered 30 minutes prior to naproxen [98.7% vs 95.4%].

Following administration of naproxen 220 mg twice-daily with low-dose immediate–release aspirin (first naproxen dose given 30 minutes prior to aspirin), the interaction was minimal at 24 h following day 10 dose [98.7% vs 95.7%]. However, the interaction was more prominent after discontinuation of naproxen (washout) on day 11 [98.7% vs 84.3%] and did not normalize completely by day 13 [98.5% vs 90.7%] [see Drug Interactions (7.1) ] . Blood Pressure In a randomized, double-blind, parallel group, active control trial, Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets 85/500 mg administered intermittently over 6 months did not increase blood pressure in a normotensive adult population (n = 122).

However, significant elevation in blood pressure has been reported with 5-HT 1 agonists and NSAIDs in patients with and without a history of hypertension.

12.3Pharmacokinetics Absorption and Bioavailability Sumatriptan, when given as Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets 85/500 mg, has a mean C max similar to that of sumatriptan succinate 100 mg tablets alone. The median T max of sumatriptan, when given as Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets 85/500 mg, was 1 hour (range: 0.3 to 4.0 hours), which is slightly different compared with sumatriptan succinate 100 mg tablets (median T max of 1.5 hours). Naproxen, when given as Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets 85/500 mg, has a C max which is approximately 36% lower than naproxen sodium 550 mg tablets and a median T max of 5 hours (range: 0.3 to 12 hours), which is approximately 4 hours later than from naproxen sodium tablets 550 mg.

AUC values for sumatriptan and for naproxen are similar for Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets 85/500 mg compared with sumatriptan succinate 100 mg tablets or naproxen sodium 550 mg tablets, respectively. In a crossover trial in 16 subjects, the pharmacokinetics of both components administered as Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets 85/500 mg were similar during a migraine attack and during a migraine-free period.

17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (Medication Guide) that accompanies each prescription dispensed. Inform patients, families, or their caregivers of the following information before initiating therapy with Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets and periodically during the course of ongoing therapy. Cardiovascular Thrombotic Events, Prinzmetal's Angina, Other Vasospasm-Related Events, Arrhythmias and Cerebrovascular Events Advise patients to be alert for the symptoms of cardiovascular thrombotic effects such as myocardial infarction or stroke, which may result in hospitalization and even death.

Although serious cardiovascular events can occur without warning symptoms, patients should be alert for signs and symptoms of chest pain, shortness of breath, weakness, irregular heartbeat, significant rise in blood pressure, weakness and slurring of speech, and should be advised to report any of these symptoms to their health care provider immediately. Apprise patients of the importance of this follow-up [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1 , 5.3 , 5.5 , 5.6 , 5.8) ] . Gastrointestinal Bleeding, Ulceration, and Perforation Advise patients to report symptoms of ulcerations and bleeding, including epigastric pain, dyspepsia, melena, and hematemesis to their health care provider.

In the setting of concomitant use of low-dose aspirin for cardiac prophylaxis, inform patients of the increased risk for and the signs and symptoms of GI bleeding [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] . Hepatotoxicity Inform patients of the warning signs and symptoms of hepatotoxicity (e.g., nausea, fatigue, lethargy, pruritus, diarrhea, jaundice, right upper quadrant tenderness, and "flu-like" symptoms). If these occur, instruct patients to stop Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets and seek immediate medical therapy [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7) ] .

Anaphylactic Reactions Inform patients that anaphylactic reactions have occurred in patients receiving the components of Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets. Such reactions can be life-threatening or fatal. In general, anaphylactic reactions to drugs are more likely to occur in individuals with a history of sensitivity to multiple allergens.

Inform patients of the signs of an anaphylactic reaction (e.g., difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat). If these occur, patients should be instructed to seek immediate emergency help [see Contraindications (4) , Warnings and Precautions (5.13) ]. Serious Skin Reactions, including DRESS Inform patients that Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets, like other NSAID-containing products, may increase the risk of serious skin side effects such as exfoliative dermatitis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and DRESS, which may result in hospitalizations and even death.

Although serious skin reactions may occur without warning, patients should be alert for the signs and symptoms of skin rash and blisters, fever, or other signs of hypersensitivity such as itching and should ask for medical advice when observing any indicative signs or symptoms. Advise patients to stop taking Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets immediately if they develop any type of rash or fever and contact their healthcare providers as soon as possible [see Warnings and Precautions (5.14 , 5.15) ] . Fetal Toxicity Inform pregnant women to avoid use of Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets and other NSAIDs starting at 30 weeks gestation because of the risk of the premature closing of the fetal ductus arteriosus.

If treatment with Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets is needed for a pregnant woman between about 20 to 30 weeks gestation, advise her that she may need to be monitored for oligohydramnios, if treatment continues for longer than 48 hours [see Warnings and Precautions (5.16) , Use in Specific Populations (8.1) ] .

This Medication Guide has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Revised: 02/2024 MEDICATION GUIDE Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets Read this Medication Guide before you start taking Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets and each time you get a refill.

There may be new information. This Medication Guide does not take the place of talking with your healthcare provider about your medical condition or treatment. What is the most important information I should know about Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets?

Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets may increase your chance of a heart attack or stroke that can lead to death. Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium Tablets contain 2 medicines: sumatriptan and naproxen sodium (a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug [NSAID]).
