Issues on adverse event data are addressed in the Adverse Event section.

Consumer use of Extended Release Naproxen Sodium
subjects take one tablet Naproxen Sodium ER (extended release) every 24 hours while symptoms last for no more than 10 consecutive days for pain and no more than 3 consecutive days for fever

Misuse occasion: any reported use of 2 or more tablets within a 22 hour period (included use of 2 tablets in 1 dose or the use of 1 tablet at one time and 1+ tablets at a later time within the same 22 hour period). Use-days were calculated based on days in which there was subject-reported product consumption, meaning that if a tablet was consumed on a day this resulted in 1 use-day. If a subject reported product consumption on 3 different days this resulted in 3 use-days. The cumulative expression of use-days is the total number of use-days reported by all subjects with follow up data.
Dosing occasion means a single occasion in which a subject reported consuming the study drug. Multiple dosing occasions were possible throughout one use-day. For example, if a subject took one tablet at 6 am this would result in one dosing occasion. If the same subject took one tablet later that same day at 8 pm this would result in a second dosing occasion.
Use-days were calculated based on days in which there was subject-reported product consumption, meaning that if a tablet was consumed on a day this resulted in one use-day. If a subject reported product consumption on three different days this resulted in three use-days. The cumulative expression of use-days is the total number of use-days reported by all subjects with follow up data.
This Outcome is a measure of subjects while Outcome Measure 3 provides the outcome as a measure of cumulative number of use-days for all subjects involved.
This measure refers to number of subjects that exceeded 660 mg of naproxen sodium per day at least once during the reporting period. The maximum dose (660 mg) may have been exceeded with one dose (if a subject consumed two tablets in one dosing occasion) or may have been exceeded throughout the course of a use-day (if a subject took one tablet in one dosing occasion and then later in the same day took one or more tablets in another dosing occasion).
This measure is reporting how many subjects exceeded the label limit for consecutive days of study drug dosing
Dosing occasion means a single occasion in which a subject reported consuming the study drug. Multiple dosing occasions were possible throughout one use-day. For example, if a subject took one tablet at 6 am this would result in one dosing occasion. If the same subject took one tablet later that same day at 8 pm this would result in a second dosing occasion.
