Uses of Vimovo
Vimovo is a combination medication that includes esomeprazole and naproxen. Naproxen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), reduces inflammation, pain, and fever by inhibiting specific substances in the body. Esomeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, decreases stomach acid production. Vimovo is prescribed for the treatment of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis.
Precautions and Warnings
Vimovo should not be used immediately before or after heart bypass surgery. Patients should consult their healthcare provider if they have conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure, asthma, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, liver disease, or kidney disease before taking Vimovo.
It is important to note that naproxen can cause gastrointestinal bleeding and renal issues, and it may increase the risk of a potentially fatal heart attack or stroke. Additionally, esomeprazole can worsen or cause new lupus symptoms.
Dosage
For adults with rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, or ankylosing spondylitis, the typical dose is one Vimovo tablet taken twice daily. Each tablet contains either 375 mg of naproxen with 20 mg of esomeprazole or 500 mg of naproxen with 20 mg of esomeprazole.
For patients aged 12 years and older who weigh at least 38 kg, the dosage remains the same: one tablet taken twice daily, each containing 375 mg of naproxen and 20 mg of esomeprazole.

Is ordering medication online legal?

Are generic medications safe?
Generic medication is simply a medication that has been manufactured by a different company, rather than the company who originally held the patent on the product. Generic medications work in the exact same manner as brand name medications and are bio-equivalent to their brand name counterparts. Generic versions of medications cost far less because they invest less money on marketing.
Are Indian/Turkish generic medications safe?
India & Turkey have one of the largest pharmaceutical manufacturing industries in the world! In fact, many of these companies are doing contract manufacturing for the North American market, and therefore their facilities are FDA approved. We source our medications only from the top-rated manufacturers who follow GMP guidelines, and produce their medicine in world-class manufacturing facilities. All of the Indian generic medications we sell are approved by the World Health Organization, Pepfar, and the Indian FDA.
