FDA Approves Long-Lasting OTC Pain Reliever Combining Acetaminophen and Naproxen
Kenvue says the fixed-dose medicine starts working within 30 minutes and lasts up to 12 hours, offering a non-opioid option for minor pain.
- The Food and Drug Administration approved an over-the-counter pain medication combining Tylenol and Aleve, offering patients a single fixed-dose alternative for minor aches and pains.
- Kenvue designed the medication to combine fast-acting Tylenol with the longer-lasting effects of Naproxen; eight clinical studies showed superior pain relief compared to either ingredient alone.
- The medication begins working within 30 minutes and provides relief for up to 12 hours, indicated for adults and children 12 and older treating minor aches.
- Kenvue received three years of market exclusivity for the new drug, coinciding with Kimberly-Clark's $48.7 billion acquisition of the Tylenol manufacturer.
- The FDA stated the approval aligns with the Trump administration's "Great Healthcare Plan," intended to expand access to safe over-the-counter medications, with the product available soon.
