Duexis Forums

I have severe bone spurs on my heels and I have been on Duexis for a few years, cutting the dosage to two pills daily from the recommended three. I have recently experienced shortness of breath and cardial infarction symptoms, which I will be getting checked. I recently, because of an annoying rebate program through Horizon Pharma, switched over to ibuprofen and famotidine tabs in an 800/20 mg combination. I read just today that nsaids are now connected to cardial infarction in persons with high propensity (myself). Is it okay for me to reduce the mg of the ibuprofen intake (maintaining the 20mg famotidine) and by how much? ## Hello Matthew, I'm terribly sorry to hear about your situation. Ibuprofen is used to treat pain, inflammation and reduce fevers. Unfortunately I am not certai...

I didn't find any interactions or problems listed between the two, but you should always double check with your doctor or pharmacist to be certain. Learn more Duexis details here.

I have a wisdom tooth that's acting up really bad and i've used everything I can think about I haven't been to my dentist yet but I'm in so much pain that I would take anything right about now just for this pain to go away so can I take duexis? ## I am so very sorry about the pain that you're in. This medication is listed as containing Ibuprofen, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and Famotidine, which is an antacid. Thus, it may not do much more to help the pain. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness and headache. Have you consulted your dentist, yet? That would be the best thing to do to discover what's wrong and how to rectify it. ## chbchhfhfgfhffhfhfghfghgfjhgfhg you can not take this this way

I have had trouble with all of the NSAIDS for years which I previously had taken for my arthritis. I started Duexis in September and have had good relief with only one a day. Recently the heartburn has returned. I am not sure if I should just stop, reduce it to every other day or third day, increase tums. Anyone with similar issues? ## Hello, June! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having. You may need a higher dose of the Famotidine that this contains, or you may need to add another medication, such as a PPI like Prilosec. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Duexis as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and increased risk of bleeding. Have you tried anything else to reduce the heartburn? Do you watch what you eat? Refrain from alcohol and aci...

Can I take duexis and adepix together. ## Hello, Jan! How are you? I didn't find any problems or interactions listed between these medication, but it's always best to double check such information to be sure. Duexis combines the NSAID Ibuprofen, with the antacid Famotidine to help prevent the stomach damage that the Ibuprofen might cause. Side effects may include dizziness, headache and drowsiness. Adipex contains the active ingredient Phentermine, it is a stimulant medication used to aid in weight loss.
