Vimovo Esomeprazole Magnesium + Naproxen

Esomeprazole, sold under the brand name Nexium among others,[2] is a medication which reduces stomach acid.[9] It is used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease, peptic ulcer disease, and Zollinger–Ellison syndrome.[9][10] Effectiveness is similar to other proton pump inhibitors (PPIs).[11] It is taken by mouth or injection into a vein.[9] Common side effects include headache, constipation,...

When I started taking 2 Vimovo a day, I had some disconcerting side effects: coughing and wheezing at night, acid reflux that would be so severe I was up-chucking. One morning I awoke and all my muscles and body ached like I had the flu. I even coughed up some mucus tinged with blood. ## Hello, Nancy! How are you doing? Has there been any change? This medication contains a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, which according to the FDA, can cause stomach irritation and ulceration, however, it also contains Esomeprazole, which should help prevent such issues. The coughing and wheezing is concerning, because that could be a sign of other, possibly dangerous, health issues, according to the NIH. Have you informed your doctor? It would be best to have these symptoms checked out.

I was just prescribed Vimovo by my doctor today. While searching the web I realized that this was just approved on April 2010 by the FDA and I really cannot find a whole lot of information on it. I did read the side effects before I took the 1st dose. Has anyone ever heard of this pain med? It is a 500 mg dose and the main ingredients are naproxen and esomeprazole magnesium, and is usually prescribed for arthritis patients...

Hi, I'm on pinaclav 500 for 5 days now. I've another 5 days to go and since today there has been blood in my semen. Could the pinaclav be causing this. There is no pain, just a red tint. These are large white tablets, I'm also taking vimovo 500. These are orange. ## HI, Dub! Have you consulted your doctor? It's really difficult to say what may be causing it from just the limited information in your post, but there is a chance that it could be a serious medical issue that needs treatment. How much blood? ## Sounds like it's your kidneys or bladder infection and it is bad

I have had a total knee replacement and I need a suitable anti-inflammatory. Unfortunately, I can't take Celebrex because it is a sulfur drug, and Mobic makes me feel ill. Meloxicam makes me feel unwell too, and Xefo causes my heart to race. I am unsure of a safe anti-inflammatory medication to use, as I'm experiencing a lot of pain in my knee. Can you help with any suggestions? I have Vimovo, which contains Naproxen, but it has so many side effects that I am too scared to take it. ## Try Duexis. It's best for the tummy.
