Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) such as Naproxen have been used for a long time for the
treatment of acute and chronic inflammation conditions. However, the oral administration of NSAIDs for a long
time can cause gastric mucosal damage, which may result in ulceration and bleeding. Therefore, the development of
a transdermal drug delivery (TDD) system of NSAIDs is of a great interest as it decreases GIT side effect and
provides a constant release of drug in a determined period of time.

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the quality of 10 commercial paracetamol products
available on the Palestinian market. We carried out a survey on the price of all paracetamol tablet products and
assessed their quality. To assess quality, all products were examined visually for their organoleptic properties,
tested for weight uniformity, friability, disintegration, and dissolution profile, and assayed for paracetamol
content. All imported products were 2 to 3 times more expensive than the locally produced generic products.
Based on our testing procedure, all paracetamol products were equivalent to the innovator product except for 1
imported product which fell below the approved specifications developed for the innovator product
