The FDA has approved Tylenol with Naproxen as an over-the-counter, fixed-dose combination drug indicated for the temporary relief of minor aches and pains.
The drug combines 650 mg of acetaminophen (Tylenol, Kenvue Brands) with 220 mg of naproxen sodium (Aleve, Bayer HealthCare), an NSAID. It has been approved for adults and children 12 years and older for headache, backache, muscular aches, toothache, menstrual cramps and minor arthritis pains.
Officials with Kenvue, which developed the drug, said in a release that Tylenol with Naproxen is the first and only FDA-approved fixed-dose combination

PARK CITY, Utah — Orthopedic surgeons treating extreme athletes should address ACL injuries in an individualized manner and consider both the current sport as well as their aspirations for the future, according to a presenter here.
“A biathlete and a freestyle skier are very different. Even though both are extreme athletes on skis, one has to kneel while the other flies through the air, twisting,” Travis G.

They provide almost 50 billion hours of care every year, which would equate to more than $1 trillion in value if they received a wage of just over $20 an hour, according to AARP’s Valuing the Invaluable 2026 report.
That makes individuals caring for people with cancer, particularly with advanced malignancies, “clinical partners,” J. Nicholas Odom, PhD, RN, associate professor in the School of Nursing at The University of Alabama at Birmingham, told Healio.
“They’re delivering the majority of care when their loved ones are not in the

A 21-year-old man became the latest person potentially cured of HIV after receiving stem cells from a donor with a rare mutation that makes people naturally resistant to the virus, physicians reported Monday.
He joined a short list of people who have achieved sustained treatment-free HIV remission after receiving stem cells from a donor with the mutation, called CCR5-delta 32, which prevents the virus from entering human cells.
The procedure essentially replaces the stem cell recipient’s immune system with the HIV-resistant system of the donor.
The man underwent allogenic hematopoietic

NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. — A voluntary sodium reduction target issued by the FDA in 2021 has not produced any major impacts, according to new data presented at the annual NUTRITION meeting.
Matti Marklund, PhD, an assistant professor in the department of international health at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, told Healio that the findings are concerning and “suggest that voluntary targets alone are not enough. While it may not be entirely surprising, given the limitations of voluntary policies, we would have hoped to see at least some downward movement across new products

MannKind announced the FDA approved an at-home furosemide self-injection for treatment of edema in adults with HF or chronic kidney disease.
The furosemide autoinjector (Furoscix ReadyFlow) is approved to deliver a full 80 mg/mL dose administered in 10 seconds or less via abdominal injection with symptom relief beginning in 1 hour or less, according to a company press release.
“I hope with the new device that people realized just how important this is. Two-thirds of patients with HF get admitted only for IV Lasix. That’s all they get when they go to the hospital,” Dan
