General Information On Vimovo
Vimovo is used to treat signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. It is a combination of two drugs, Esomeprazole and Naproxen. Both drugs work differently- Naproxen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication, which works to reduce the production of chemicals that cause pain, inflammation, and fever. Esomeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor, which works to reduce the production of gastric acid in the intestines and the stomach. This curbs the onset of gastric ulcers in those using NSAIDs. The drug may cause side effects, so it is necessary to consult your doctor before you buy Vimovo.
Side Effects for Vimovo
Some people may experience certain side effects after taking Vimovo, such as indigestion, diarrhea, or abdominal pain. The drug may also cause stomach ulcers or inflammation of the lining of the stomach. Some people may also experience severe side effects such as symptoms of low magnesium in the blood, irregular heartbeat, difficulty in swallowing, breathing problems, hands and feet swelling, unexplained weight gain, cough, and fever. You may become more susceptible to bruising, bleeding, and fainting. You may also notice a change in the amount of urine passed. This is not a complete list of side effects, and you should immediately notify your doctor when you experience or notice any negative symptoms after taking the medication.
Precautions
You should not take Vimovo if you are allergic to NSAIDs or any components in Vimovo. This medication may not be ideal for people with certain medical conditions. You should inform your doctor if you have intestinal/stomach/esophagus problems (such as ulcers, bleeding, or recurring heartburn), heart disease, kidney disease, liver disease, high blood pressure, blood disorders such as anemia, and clotting problems. You should also consult your doctor if you have a history of stroke, heart attack, and stomach ulcers. Women who are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding should consult their doctor before taking Vimovo.
Vimovo Dosage
The drug is available in the form of a tablet which comes in two strengths: Vimovo 375mg/20mg (the tablet has 375 mg of Naproxen and 20 mg of Esomeprazole) and Vimovo 500mg/20mg (the tablet has 500 mg of Naproxen and 20 mg of Esomeprazole). Doctors generally recommend a dose of two tablets in a day (one tablet of Vimovo in the morning and one tablet in the evening). The dosage should be taken as recommended by your doctor. He/she may also ask you to take the medication 30 minutes before the meal. You should not stop or change the dosage without consulting your doctor.
Interactions
Vimovo may interact with other drugs and cause side effects. The drug may also not work properly after interacting with other drugs, thus defeating the objective of taking the medication. Your doctor may be aware of the possible interactions of Vimovo with other drugs, so it is important that you tell your doctor about every medicine you take, which includes prescribed, non-prescribed, and herbal medicines. Vimovo may interact with drugs such as amphetamines, anti-platelet drugs, oral bisphosphonates, blood thinner medications, antidepressants, corticosteroids, or HIV drugs.
