Naproxen = generic
Naprosyn = brand

You got it pronounced correctly for both

my organic teacher was instrumental in making naproxen easy to produce, thus saving the company HUGE money. It seemed nobody could fix a problem they where having in production, and it was very inefficient. They said it couldn't be done.. He solved the problem on the way home in his car. What did he get?? a huge bonus??



NOPE.. they gave him a rock(paperweight) and a picture with the bigwigs.

we are put in the pharmacy the 2nd week of school....and the slight differences/generic names were puzzling to me back then, but after a quick stint working, they became easy.
