How long does Esomeprazole Magnesium and Naproxen stay in your body?

The elimination half-life of esomeprazole magnesium and naproxen is about 12 to 17 hours — the time it takes the body to clear about half of it. As a rule of thumb, a medicine is mostly gone after roughly 4 to 5 half-lives, though this varies from person to person with age and kidney or liver function. This is naproxen's elimination (terminal) half-life in healthy adults; its metabolites have shorter half-lives, so there is no longer-acting active metabolite to account for. The half-life is prolonged in severe renal impairment, and above 500 mg/day the drug shows nonlinear (dose-dependent) kinetics because plasma protein binding becomes saturated.

It doesn’t tell you when a drug test would read negative (tests detect substances for different, often longer, windows) or when it’s safe to take another dose — ask your pharmacist or prescriber.
