particularly at high doses and in long-term treatment may be associated with a small increased risk of arterial thrombotic events for example myocardial infarction or stroke.Although data suggest that the use of naproxen mg daily may be associated with a lower risk some risk cannot be excluded see section .Oedema hypertension and cardiac failure have been reported in association with NSAID treatment.The most commonly observed adverse events are gastrointestinal in nature.Peptic ulcers perforation or GI bleeding sometimes fatal particularly in the elderly may occur see section.

Patients should promptly report signs or symptoms of unexplained weight gain or edema to their physicians.Patients should be informed of the warning signs and symptoms of hepatotoxicity eg nausea fatigue lethargy pruritus jaundice right upper quadrant tenderness and flu-like symptoms.If these occur patients should be instructed to stop therapy and seek immediate medical therapy see Contraindications and Warnings and Precautions .Patients should be informed of the signs of an anaphylactic reaction eg difficulty breathing swelling of the face or throat.If these occur patients should be instructed to seek immediate emergency help see Warnings and Precautions .In late pregnancy as with other NSAIDs VIMOVO should be avoided because it may cause premature closure of the ductus arteriosus see Contraindications Warnings and Precautions and Use in Specific Populations .Caution should be exercised by patients whose activities require alertness if they experience drowsiness dizziness vertigo or depression during therapy with VIMOVO.Patients should be instructed to tell their physicians if they have a history of asthma or aspirin-sensitive asthma because the use of NSAIDs in patients with aspirin-sensitive asthma has been associated with severe bronchospasm which can be fatal.Patients with this form of aspirin sensitivity should be instructed not to take VIMOVO.Patients with preexisting asthma should be instructed to seek immediate medical attention if their asthma worsens after taking VIMOVO see Warnings and Precautions ..Antacids may be used while taking VIMOVO.VIMOVO tablets should be swallowed whole with liquid.Tablets should not be split chewed crushed or dissolved.VIMOVO tablets should be taken at least minutes before meals see Dosage and Administration Advise patients to immediately report and seek care for diarrhea that does not improve.This may be a sign of Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea see Warnings and Precautions .Advise patients to immediately report and seek care for any cardiovascular or neurological symptoms including palpitations dizziness seizures and tetany as these may be signs of hypomagnesemia see Warnings and Precautions VIMOVO is a trademark of the AstraZeneca group of companies.Other trademarks are the property of their respective companies.Distributed by AstraZeneca LP Wilmington DE ©AstraZeneca Rev. Kombinasjonsbehandling med beskyttende midler bør vurderes for slike pasienter og også for pasienter som trenger samtidig behandling med lavdose ASA eller andre legemidler som øker risikoen for gastrointestinale komplikasjoner.Pasienter med tidligere gastrointestinal toksisitet spesielt eldre bør melde fra om ev.uvanlige magesymptomer spesielt gastrointestinal blødning særlig i begynnelsen av behandlingen.Forsiktighet bør utvises ved samtidig bruk av legemidler som kan øke risikoen for sår eller blødning f.eks.orale kortikosteroider antikoagulanter som warfarin SSRIer eller blodplatehemmere som ASA.NSAIDs skal gis med forsiktighet til pasienter med tidligere gastrointestinale sykdommer ulcerøs kolitt Crohns sykdom da disse sykdommene kan forverres.Ved ev.alarmsymptomer f.eks.signifikant uventet vekttap stadige brekninger oppkast dysfagi hematemese eller melena og hvis gastrisk sår mistenkes eller er påvist skal malignitet utelukkes da behandling med esomeprazol kan maskere symptomene og forsinke diagnosen.Dyspesi kan fortsatt forekomme til tross for innholdet av esomeprazol.Behandling med protonpumpehemmere kan føre til svak økning i risiko for gastrointestinale infeksjoner som Salmonella og Campylobacter.Aseptisk meningitt Det kan være økt risiko for aseptisk meningitt hos pasienter med systemisk lupus erythematosus SLE og blandet bindevevssykdom.Hos disse pasientene bør naproksen kun brukes etter nøye avveining av fordeler og risiko.Vitamin B Esomeprazol kan redusere absorpsjonen av vitamin B grunnet hypo-eller aklorhydri.Kardiovaskulære og cerebrovaskulære effekter Tilstrekkelig monitorering og rådgivning er påkrevd ved hypertensjon og eller mild til moderat kongestiv hjertesvikt i anamnesen da væskeretensjon og ødemer er rapportert i forbindelse med NSAIDs.Enkelte typer NSAIDs spesielt ved høye doser og langvarig behandling kan være forbundet med en liten økning i risikoen for arterielle trombotiske hendelser f.eks.hjerteinfarkt eller slag.Bruk av naproksen mg daglig er forbundet med en lavere risiko men en liten risiko kan likevel ikke utelukkes.Pasienter med ukontrollert hypertensjon kongestiv hjertesvikt etablert iskemisk hjertesykdom perifer arteriell sykdom og eller cerebrovaskulær sykdom skal bare behandles med naproksen etter grundige overveielser.Samme type avveininger bør også foretas før man starter langvarig behandling av pasienter med risikofaktorer for kardiovaskulære hendelser f.eks.hypertensjon hyperlipidemi diabetes mellitus røyking.Renale effekter Langvarig bruk av NSAIDs kan føre til renal papillær nekrose og annen nyreskade.Renal toksisitet er også observert hos pasienter der renale prostaglandiner har en kompenserende rolle i vedlikehold av renal perfusjon.Hos slike pasienter kan NSAIDs føre til doseavhengig reduksjon i prostaglandinproduksjonen og sekundært i blodgjennomstrømningen i nyrene noe som kan fremkalle åpenbar renal dekompensasjon.Pasienter med nedsatt nyrefunksjon hypovolemi hjertesvikt nedsatt leverfunksjon saltdeplesjon pasienter som behandles med diuretika og ACE-hemmere og eldre har størst risiko for denne reaksjonen.Seponering av NSAIDs fører vanligvis til bedring til samme tilstand som før behandlingen startet.Nedsatt nyrefunksjon Naproksen må brukes med stor forsiktighet ved nedsatt nyrefunksjon og monitorering av serumkreatinin og eller with low dose aspirin.Undesirable effects may be minimised by using the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary to control symptom.When total daily dose of mg of naproxen is considered not appropriate alternative therapeutic regimens should be utilized.Risk-factors to develop NSAID related gastro-intestinal complications include high age concomitant use of anticoagulants corticosteroids other NSAIDs including low-dose acetylsalicylic acid debilitating cardiovascular disease and a history of gastric and or duodenal ulcers.In patients with the following conditions naproxen should only be used after a rigorous benefit-risk ratio Inducible porphyries Systemic lupus erythematosis and mixed connective tissue disease.There may be an increased risk of aseptic meningitis in these patients.Patients on long-term treatment particularly those treated for more than a year should be kept under regular surveillance.VIMOVO contains very low levels of methyl-and propyl parahydroxybenzoate which may cause allergic reactions possibly delayed.Elderly Naproxen The elderly have an increased frequency of adverse reactions especially gastro-intestinal bleeding and perforation which may be fatal.The esomeprazole component of VIMOVO decreased the incidence of ulcers in elderly.Gastrointestinal effects Naproxen GI bleeding ulceration or perforation which can be fatal has been reported with all NSAIDs at anytime during treatment with or without warning symptoms or a previous history of serious GI events.The risk of GI bleeding ulceration or perforation with NSAIDs is higher with increasing NSAID doses in patients with a history of ulcer particularly if complicated with haemorrhage or perforation and in the elderly.These patients should begin treatment on the lowest dose available.Combination therapy with protective agents e.g.misoprostol or proton pump inhibitors should be considered for these patients and also for patients requiring concomitant low dose aspirin or other drugs likely to increase gastrointestinal risk.The esomeprazole component of VIMOVO is a proton pump inhibitor.Patients with a history of GI toxicity particularly when elderly should report any unusual abdominal symptoms especially GI bleeding particularly in the initial stages of treatment.Caution should be advised in patients receiving NSAIDs with concomitant medications which could increase the risk of ulceration or bleeding such as oral corticosteroids anticoagulants such as warfarin selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitors or anti-platelet agents such as aspirin.Ulcer complications such as bleeding perforation and obstruction were not studied in the VIMOVO trials.When GI bleeding or ulceration occurs in patients receiving VIMOVO the treatment should be withdrawn.NSAIDs should be given with care to patients with a history of gastrointestinal disease ulcerative colitis Crohn's disease as these conditions may be exacerbated.Esomeprazole In the presence of any alarm symptom e.g.significant unintentional weight loss recurrent vomiting dysphagia haematemesis or melaena and when gastric ulcer is suspected or present malignancy should be excluded as treatment with esomeprazole magnesium may alleviate symptoms and delay diagnosis.Dyspesia could still occur despite the addition of esomperazole to the combination tablet.Treatment with proton pump inhibitors may lead to slightly increased risk of gastrointestinal infections such as Salmonella and Campylobacter.

Re Lyra Registered Visitor Registered Posts Loc UK Its worth trying up to four or five different NSAIDs because they do definitely have different effects positive and negative on each person and you might just find that one is tolerated better than another.Its also worth trying different kinds of stomach protectors including the older ones like ranitidine instead of PPIs.I'd probably feel that same way about a two-in-one drug but if it wasn't costing you anything extra its probably worth a try.If you do try it then I'd probably say to do it as the instructions tell you.If it is going to cause problems you will know soon enough and given your history of problems there would be no point in persisting with it and putting up with increased stomach upset.Just one thing though if you are switching NSAIDs because of problems I think it is recommended to make sure that you let your stomach heal first before trying a new one so that would mean a couple of weeks on Cauda equina type neurogenic bladder problems.Coeliac disease.Sicca syndrome.Ataxic gait and use crutches.Non-specific gut problems.Current meds Codeine phosphate occasional diazepam Guts shredded by NSAIDs.Previously diclofenac worked well.Top # AM Re Vimovo. You've posted your propaganda before gotten exposed as the Hitler Youth for pharma you are so next you change to a new bunch of subjects.The US Department of Health dumps billions into research not development.Pharma comes in when they see something they like and get to work on "development." The trials are to test safety and efficacy of mostly university government funded discovery.Your claims regarding "facts " about which you don't very little doesn't make your lies any more true.Pharma which purports to be in the drug discovery business hasn't discovered a new compound in decades.The industry is only about decades old.It's time to revamp the prescription industry.A Republican will get to it right about the time when the executives have fired most of the representatives and "restructured " again.Keep drinking the water.They'll cut the tap off from the inside for you soon.Then the People will cut it off from the outside.Fact-No other industry in the world gives away more free product than pharma.Ask Ford Coke or your local power company how many billions of dollars they give away each year You'll hear crickets.Fact-There have been unetical and criminal executives in the pharma industry.These crimes don't make every pharma company or drug bad.Corporate greed poisons all industrys.quoteIs the product really free. Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea Published observational studies suggest that PPI therapy like VIMOVO may be associated with an increased risk of Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea especially in hospitalized patients.This diagnosis should be considered for diarrhea that does not improve see Adverse Reactions .Patients should use the lowest dose and shortest duration of PPI therapy appropriate to the condition being treated see Dosage and Administration Interaction with Clopidogrel Avoid concomitant use of esomeprazole with clopidogrel.Clopidogrel is a prodrug. VIMOVO is a fixed-dose combination of EC-naproxen and immediate-release esomeprazole magnesium.VIMOVO is indicated to relieve the signs and symptoms of OA RA and AS in patients who are at risk of developing NSAID-associated gastric ulcers.VIMOVO is not recommended for initial treatment of acute pain because the absorption of naproxen is delayed compared to absorption from other naproxen-containing products.Controlled studies do not extend beyond months.In two clinical studies the therapeutic actions of VIMOVO after six months of treatment resulted in significant reduction in the incidence of gastric ulcers compared to EC-naproxen.In one study the cumulative incidence of gastric ulcers was in patients receiving VIMOVO versus in patients receiving EC-naproxen alone.In the second study the cumulative incidence of gastric ulcers was in patients receiving VIMOVO versus in patients receiving EC-naproxen alone.Approximately a quarter of the patients in the clinical studies for VIMOVO were taking concurrent low-dose aspirin ≤ mg daily.The results for this subgroup analysis of patients who used aspirin were consistent with the overall findings of the study.The proportion of patients discontinuing treatment due to any upper GI adverse events including duodenal ulcers with VIMOVO was compared to for patients taking EC-naproxen.The most common adverse reactions with VIMOVO in clinical trials erosive gastric gastritis diarrhea gastric ulcer upper abdominal pain nausea.VIMOVO is available in two dose strengths — mg naproxen mg esomeprazole magnesium tablets and mg naproxen mg esomeprazole magnesium tablets.The lowest effective dose for the shortest duration is recommended based on the individual patient treatment goals VIMOVO™ Prescribing Information There is no consistent evidence that concurrent use of aspirin mitigates the increased risk of serious CV thrombotic events associated with NSAID use.VIMOVO can be administered with low-dose aspirin ≤ mg day therapy.The concurrent use of aspirin and VIMOVO may increase the risk of serious adverse events.As with all NSAIDs concurrent administration of naproxen and aspirin is not generally recommended because of the potential of increased adverse events.IndicationsVIMOVO is indicated for the relief of signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis and to decrease the risk of developing gastric ulcers in patients at risk of developing NSAID-associated gastric ulcers.VIMOVO is not recommended for initial treatment of acute pain because the absorption of naproxen is delayed compared to absorption from other naproxen-containing products.Controlled studies do not extend beyond months.Important Safety Information About VIMOVOCardiovascular RiskNaproxen a component of VIMOVO may cause an increased risk of serious cardiovascular thrombotic events myocardial infarction and stroke which can be fatal.This risk may increase with duration of use.Patients with cardiovascular disease or risk factors for cardiovascular disease may be at greater risk.VIMOVO is contraindicated for the treatment of perioperative pain in the setting of coronary artery bypass graft CABG surgery.Gastrointestinal RiskNSAIDs including naproxen a component of VIMOVO cause an increased risk of serious gastrointestinal adverse events including bleeding ulceration and perforation of the stomach or intestines which can be fatal.These events can occur at any time during use and without warning symptoms.Elderly patients are at greater risk for serious gastrointestinal GI events.VIMOVO is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to any component of VIMOVO or substituted benzimidazolesin patients with a history of asthma urticaria or other allergic-type reactions after taking aspirin or other NSAIDsin patients during the perioperative period in the setting of coronary artery bypass graft CABG surgeryor in patients in the late stages of pregnancy.Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration consistent with individual patient treatment goals.Treatment should be withdrawn when active and clinically significant bleeding from any source occurs.As with all NSAIDs VIMOVO can lead to the onset of new hypertension or worsening of preexisting hypertension either of which may contribute to the increased incidence of CV events.Blood pressure should be monitored closely.NSAIDs including VIMOVO may diminish the antihypertensive effect of angiotensin converting enzyme ACE inhibitors and angiotensin II antagonists beta-blockers and in some patients can reduce the natriuretic effect of furosemide and thiazides.Fluid retention and edema have been observed in some patients taking NSAIDs including VIMOVO.NSAIDs should be used with caution in patients with fluid retention or heart failure.Two large controlled clinical trials of a COX- selective NSAID for the treatment of pain in the first – days following CABG surgery found an increased incidence of myocardial infarction and stroke.There is no consistent evidence that concurrent use of aspirin mitigates the increased risk of serious CV thrombotic events associated with

Pullen just said "thank you" rather than berate a drug company for marketing a drug that he doesn't feel is worth the cost.What I don't wonder is how much talent is required to be a critic.Or rather-the lack of talent.We all know what Vimovo is and what it does.If you don't like it don't prescribe. Food and Drug Administration FDA has approved Vimovo naproxen and esomeprazole magnesium delayed-release tablets for the relief of signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis and to decrease the risk of developing gastric ulcers in patients at risk of developing NSAID-associated gastric ulcers.Vimovo co-developed by Pozen Inc.and AstraZeneca is a fixed-dose combination of enteric-coated naproxen a pain-relieving non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug NSAID and immediate-release esomeprazole a proton pump inhibitor PPI.The FDA approval was supported by data from a clinical development program including results from the pivotal PN-and PN-studies which showed patients taking Vimovo experienced significantly fewer endoscopic gastric ulcers compared to patients receiving enteric-coated naproxen. VIMOVO which contains naproxen a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug NSAID and esomeprazole magnesium may increase the chance of a heart attack or stroke that can lead to death.This chance increases NSAID-containing medicines such as VIMOVO should never be used right before or after a heart surgery called a coronary artery bypass graft CABG.NSAID-containing medicines such as VIMOVO can cause ulcers and bleeding in the stomach and intestines at any time during treatment.Ulcers and bleeding The chance of a person getting an ulcer or bleeding increases with NSAID medicines should only be used What are Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs NSAIDs.

Esomeprazole Reproductive studies have been performed in rats at oral doses up to mg kg day about times the human dose on a body surface area basis and in rabbits at oral doses up to mg kg day about times the human dose on a body surface area basis and have revealed no evidence of impaired fertility or harm to the fetus due to esomeprazole.Reproductive studies conducted with omeprazole in rats at oral doses up to mg kg day about times the human dose on a body surface area basis and in rabbits at doses up to mg kg day about times the human dose on a body surface area basis did not disclose any evidence for a teratogenic potential of omeprazole.In rabbits omeprazole in a dose range of to mg kg day about to times the human dose on a body surface area basis produced dose-related increases in embryo-lethality fetal resorptions and pregnancy disruptions.In rats dose-related embryo fetal toxicity and postnatal developmental toxicity were observed in offspring resulting from parents treated with omeprazole at to mg kg day about to times the human doses on a body surface area basis.Two randomized multi-center double-blind trials Study and Study compared the incidence of gastric ulcer formation in patients taking VIMOVO and patients taking enteric-coated naproxen.Subjects were at least years of age with a medical condition expected to require daily NSAID therapy for at least months and if less than years old with a documented history of gastric or duodenal ulcer within the past years.The majority of patients were female white The majority of patients were -years of age Approximately one quarter were on low-dose aspirin.Studies and showed that VIMOVO given as mg mg twice daily statistically significantly reduced the -month cumulative incidence of gastric ulcers compared to enteric-coated naproxen mg twice daily see Table Approximately a quarter of the patients in Studies and were taking concurrent low-dose aspirin ≤ mg daily.The results for this subgroup analysis in patients who used aspirin were consistent with the overall findings of the study.The results at one month three months and six months are presented in Table Table – Cumulative Observed Incidence of Gastric Ulcers at and Months Study Study VIMOVO N number EC-naproxen N number VIMOVO N number EC-naproxen N number -Month In these trials patients receiving VIMOVO had a mean duration of therapy of days compared to days in patients receiving enteric-coated naproxen alone.A higher proportion of patients taking EC-naproxen discontinued the study due to upper GI adverse events including duodenal ulcers compared to VIMOVO in both trials see Adverse Reactions The efficacy of VIMOVO in treating the signs and symptoms of osteoarthritis was established in two -week randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trials in patients with osteoarthritis OA of the knee.In these two trials patients were allowed to remain on low-dose aspirin for cardioprophylaxis.VIMOVO was given as mg mg twice daily.In each trial patients receiving VIMOVO had significantly better results compared to patients receiving placebo as measured by change from baseline of the WOMAC pain subscale and the WOMAC physical function subscale and a Patient Global Assessment Score.Based on studies with enteric-coated naproxen improvement in patients treated for rheumatoid arthritis was demonstrated by a reduction in joint swelling a reduction in duration of morning stiffness a reduction in disease activity as assessed by both the investigator and patient and by increased mobility as demonstrated by a reduction in walking time.In patients with osteoarthritis the therapeutic action of naproxen has been shown by a reduction in joint pain or tenderness an increase in range of motion in knee joints increased mobility as demonstrated by a reduction in walking time and improvement in capacity to perform activities of daily living impaired by the disease.In patients with ankylosing spondylitis naproxen has been shown to decrease night pain morning stiffness and pain at rest.VIMOVO mg mg tablets are oval yellow film-coated tablets printed with in black ink supplied as NDC Bottles of tablets VIMOVO mg mg tablets are oval yellow film-coated tablets printed with in black ink supplied as NDC Bottles of tablets NDC Unit Dose Blisters package of tablets Storage Store at °C °Fexcursions permitted to - °C -°F see USP Controlled Room Temperature.Store in the original container and keep the bottle tightly closed to protect from moisture.Dispense in a tight container if package is subdivided.
Hypertension hyperlipidaemia diabetes mellitus smoking.Renal effects Naproxen Long-term administration of NSAIDs has resulted in renal papillary necrosis and other renal injury.Renal toxicity has also been seen in patients in whom renal prostaglandins have a compensatory role in the maintenance of renal perfusion.In these patients administration of a NSAID may cause a dose-dependent reduction in prostaglandin formation and secondarily in renal blood flow which may precipitate overt renal decompensation.Patients at greatest risk of this reaction are those with impaired renal function hypovolemia heart failure liver dysfunction salt depletion those taking diuretics and ACE inhibitors and the elderly.Discontinuation of NSAID therapy is usually followed by recovery to the pretreatment state.Use in patients with impaired renal function As naproxen and its metabolites is eliminated to a large extent by urinary excretion via glomerular filtration it should be used with great caution in patients with impaired renal function and the monitoring of serum creatinine and or creatinine clearance is advised in these patients.VIMOVO is contraindicated in patients having a baseline creatinine clearance of less than ml minute.Haemodialysis does not decrease the plasma concentration of naproxen because of the high degree of protein binding.Certain patients specifically those whose renal blood flow is compromised because of extracellular volume depletion cirrhosis of the liver sodium restriction congestive heart failure and pre-existing renal disease should have renal function assessed before and during VIMOVO therapy.Some elderly patients in whom impaired renal function may be expected as well as patients using diuretics may also fall within this category.A reduction in daily dosage should be considered to avoid the possibility of excessive accumulation of naproxen metabolites in these patients.Hepatic effects Borderline elevations of one or more liver tests may occur in patients taking NSAIDs.Hepatic abnormalities may be the result of hypersensitivity rather than direct toxicity.Rare cases of severe hepatic reactions including jaundice and fatal fulminant hepatitis liver necrosis and hepatic failure some of them with fatal outcomes have been reported.

Gastrointestinal People with a history of stomach or intestinal ulcer or gastrointestinal bleeding should discuss with their doctor how this medication may affect their medical condition how their medical condition may affect dosing and effectiveness of this medication and whether any special monitoring is needed.If you notice symptoms of stomach or intestinal ulcers or bleeding such as black tarry stools vomiting blood or material that looks like coffee grounds or coughing up blood stop taking the medication and seek medical attention immediately.Heart attack and stroke This medication is associated with an increased risk of heart attack or stroke.The risk is increased with higher total daily doses and taking the medication over a long period of time.People with a history of heart disease e.g heart attack stroke heart failure blood vessel disorders or who have risk factors for heart disease e.g high blood pressure high cholesterol diabetes smoking kidney disease should discuss with their doctor how this medication may affect their medical condition how their medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication and whether any special monitoring is needed.This medication should not be taken by people who have recently had or are planning to have open heart bypass surgery.High blood potassium There is a risk of high blood potassium when treating with naproxen.People most at risk are seniorspeople who have diabetes or kidney failureand people taking beta-adrenergic blockers e.g metoprolol atenolol angiotensin converting enzyme ACE inhibitors e.g ramipril enalapril or some diuretics e.g triamterene amiloride.People with high blood potassium levels should not take this medication.Kidney problems If you have mild to moderate kidney impairment discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication and whether any special monitoring is needed.Liver problems If you have mild to moderate liver impairment discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication and whether any special monitoring is needed.Other anti-inflammatory medications Esomeprazole naproxen should not be used with other anti-inflammatory medications including naproxen.However low doses of ASA could be used to prevent heart disease or blood vessel problems.Sun sensitivity Esomeprazole naproxen may make you more sensitive to sunlight.
