Abstract

Described are solid dose nanoparticulate naproxen formulations having high rates of dissolution. The solid dose nanoparticulate naproxen formulations can comprise an alkali compound, which functions to increase the dissolution rate of the naproxen following administration. Alternatively, the solid dose nanoparticulate naproxen formulation can comprise an alkali compound and an acidic compound, which can react together to form carbon dioxide. The formed carbon dioxide can also aid in increasing the dissolution rate of the naproxen following administration. Also described are solid dose nanoparticulate naproxen formulations having a decreased concentration of a binder/disintegrant agent. Such compositions also provide an increased rate of dissolution of naproxen following administration.
