Naproxen Suppositories 250mg: What the Published Guidance Says
The three non-opioid analgesics named on the WHO Model List — paracetamol, ibuprofen and acetylsalicylic acid — in the full range of oral, rectal and injectable presentations, plus the wider NSAID family.
This page collects the supply-relevant facts for Naproxen Suppositories 250mg — specification, testing, packaging and the registration paperwork that travels with the batch.
- Paracetamol is an antipyretic and analgesic — not an anti-inflammatory The Model List carries a footnote stating paracetamol is not recommended for anti-inflammatory use due to lack of proven benefit to that effect. Marketing copy that positions paracetamol as an anti-inflammatory is inconsistent with the WHO listing. WHO Model List of Essential Medicines, 24th List (2025) — report of the 25th WHO Expert Committee (TRS 1064)
- Fever control is part of severe-disease management MSF guidance on severe malaria directs paracetamol in the event of high fever only — a reminder that in febrile illness the antipyretic is supportive care, not the disease treatment. MSF Medical Guidelines — Malaria (Chapter 4.3, Parasitic infections)
- A strength-confusion warning that matters commercially The Model List itself warns that the presence of both 120 mg/5 mL and 125 mg/5 mL paracetamol oral liquid strengths on the same market would cause confusion in prescribing and dispensing and should be avoided. Country programmes should therefore settle on one strength. WHO Model List of Essential Medicines, 24th List (2025) — report of the 25th WHO Expert Committee (TRS 1064)
We quote these sources rather than paraphrase them loosely, because the detail matters commercially for Naproxen Suppositories 250mg. Where your national list differs from the WHO listing, the national list governs what may be supplied and promoted locally.
