Vimovo contains two active ingredients: naproxen and esomeprazole magnesium. It is a prescription medication used to relieve pain and inflammation from certain types of arthritis while also helping reduce the risk of stomach ulcers caused by NSAIDs.

Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Ankylosing Spondylitis

Vimovo may be used to treat symptoms of:

These conditions can cause joint pain, swelling, stiffness, and reduced movement.

Vimovo is generally used in people who need treatment with an NSAID but are also at increased risk of developing stomach ulcers from NSAID therapy.

How Vimovo Works

Vimovo combines two different types of medication.

Naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, or NSAID. It helps reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation.

Esomeprazole magnesium is a proton pump inhibitor, or PPI. It lowers the amount of acid made by the stomach.

Why the Two Medications Are Combined

Naproxen can irritate the stomach and increase the risk of ulcers.

Esomeprazole helps lower stomach acid and reduces the risk of developing gastric ulcers while taking naproxen.

Important Note

Vimovo helps control arthritis symptoms, but it does not cure osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or ankylosing spondylitis.

It is also not intended for rapid relief of sudden pain because the way the tablet releases naproxen can delay pain relief.

Vimovo comes as a delayed-release tablet that is taken by mouth.

It is usually taken twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening, as directed by your healthcare provider.

Take Vimovo Before Meals

Take Vimovo at least 30 minutes before a meal.

Swallow the tablet with a full glass of water.

Swallow the Tablet Whole

Do not crush, chew, split, or dissolve Vimovo.

The tablet is specially designed to release esomeprazole first and naproxen later. Damaging the tablet can affect how the medication works.

Take Vimovo Regularly

Try to take Vimovo at about the same times each day.

Regular dosing helps keep pain and inflammation under better control.

When Will Vimovo Start Working?

You may begin to notice some symptom relief within a few days, but it can take longer to feel the full benefit.

For chronic arthritis symptoms, improvement may continue over the first couple of weeks of treatment.

Use the Lowest Effective Dose

NSAIDs such as naproxen can cause serious side effects, especially with higher doses or longer use.

Your healthcare provider will usually recommend the lowest effective dose for the shortest appropriate amount of time.

Do not increase your dose or continue Vimovo longer than prescribed.

If Your Symptoms Do Not Improve

Contact your healthcare provider if your pain, swelling, or stiffness does not improve or becomes worse.

Your treatment may need to be adjusted.

Heart Attack and Stroke Risk

Vimovo contains naproxen, an NSAID that can increase the risk of serious heart problems such as:

  • Heart attack
  • Stroke
  • Blood clots

These problems can happen without warning and may be fatal.

The risk may be higher if you already have heart disease, have cardiovascular risk factors, take higher NSAID doses, or use the medication for a long time.

Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest amount of time recommended by your healthcare provider.

Stomach Ulcers and Bleeding

Vimovo can cause serious stomach or intestinal problems, including:

  • Ulcers
  • Bleeding
  • Perforation, or a hole in the stomach or intestine

These problems can occur at any time and may happen without warning symptoms.

The risk is higher in older adults and in people with a history of stomach ulcers or gastrointestinal bleeding.

Tell your healthcare provider if you also take blood thinners, corticosteroids, aspirin, or other NSAIDs because these medicines may further increase the risk of bleeding.

Allergic Reactions

Do not take Vimovo if you are allergic to naproxen, esomeprazole, omeprazole, or any of the medication’s ingredients.

You should also not take Vimovo if you have previously developed asthma, hives, or another serious allergic reaction after taking aspirin or another NSAID.

Seek emergency medical attention if you develop swelling of the face or throat, hives, severe rash, or difficulty breathing.

Heart Bypass Surgery

Vimovo should not be used to treat pain before or after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery because NSAIDs can increase the risk of serious cardiovascular complications.

Kidney Problems

Vimovo can cause new or worsening kidney problems.

The risk may be higher if you:

  • Already have kidney disease
  • Have heart failure
  • Are dehydrated
  • Take diuretics or certain blood pressure medications

Your healthcare provider may monitor your kidney function during treatment.

Vimovo should generally be avoided in people with advanced kidney disease unless the expected benefits outweigh the risks.

Liver Problems

Vimovo can affect liver function.

Tell your healthcare provider if you have liver disease or develop symptoms such as yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, severe tiredness, or persistent nausea.

Vimovo should be avoided in severe liver impairment, and a lower dose may be considered in mild to moderate liver impairment.

High Blood Pressure and Heart Failure

Naproxen can raise blood pressure or make existing high blood pressure harder to control.

It may also cause fluid retention and worsen heart failure.

Your healthcare provider may monitor your blood pressure and watch for swelling, shortness of breath, or sudden weight gain during treatment.

Drug Interactions

Vimovo can interact with many medications.

Tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medications, over-the-counter products, vitamins, and supplements you use.

Important interactions may occur with:

  • Blood thinners
  • Aspirin
  • Other NSAIDs
  • Corticosteroids
  • Diuretics
  • Certain blood pressure medications
  • Some HIV medications, including rilpivirine-containing products

Do not combine Vimovo with another naproxen-containing medicine or another non-aspirin NSAID unless your healthcare provider specifically recommends it.

Serious Skin Reactions

Rarely, Vimovo can cause serious skin reactions.

Stop taking Vimovo and seek medical attention if you develop a severe rash, blistering, peeling skin, sores in your mouth, or a rash with fever.

Bone Fracture Risk

The esomeprazole in Vimovo is a proton pump inhibitor.

Long-term or multiple-daily-dose PPI treatment may be associated with an increased risk of fractures of the hip, wrist, or spine, particularly in people with other risk factors for osteoporosis.

Alcohol

Alcohol is not listed as an absolute contraindication with Vimovo, but it can irritate the stomach and may increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding when combined with an NSAID such as naproxen.

Ask your healthcare provider whether alcohol is appropriate for you while taking Vimovo, especially if you have a history of stomach ulcers or bleeding.

Asthma

Tell your healthcare provider if you have asthma.

Vimovo should not be used if you have previously developed asthma, hives, or another allergic reaction after taking aspirin or another NSAID.

People with asthma who do not have aspirin sensitivity may still need closer monitoring.

Older Adults

Older adults may be more likely to develop serious stomach bleeding, kidney problems, or other NSAID-related complications.

Your healthcare provider may recommend closer monitoring and the lowest effective dose.

Pregnancy

NSAIDs such as naproxen can harm a developing fetus later in pregnancy.

Use of Vimovo should generally be limited between about 20 and 30 weeks of pregnancy and avoided at about 30 weeks and later unless specifically directed by a healthcare provider.

When to Seek Medical Attention

Seek medical attention right away if you develop chest pain, sudden weakness, trouble speaking, black or bloody stools, vomiting blood, severe abdominal pain, difficulty breathing, severe swelling, or a serious skin reaction.

Contact your healthcare provider if side effects are persistent or your symptoms become worse.

How long before eating should I take Vimovo?

Take Vimovo at least 30 minutes before a meal. Food can delay or reduce how the medication is absorbed, so it should not be taken with a meal unless your healthcare provider gives you different instructions.

Is Vimovo addictive?

No. Vimovo is not known to cause addiction or physical dependence. However, it should still be taken only as prescribed because long-term NSAID use can increase the risk of serious side effects, including stomach bleeding, kidney problems, and cardiovascular events.

Can Vimovo cause weight gain?

Weight gain is not one of the most common side effects of Vimovo. However, sudden or unexplained weight gain may be a sign of fluid retention, which can occur with NSAIDs such as naproxen. Contact your healthcare provider if you develop rapid weight gain, swelling in your legs or feet, or shortness of breath.

How long does it take for Vimovo to start working?

The naproxen in Vimovo can begin reducing pain and inflammation within a few hours. However, it may take several days or longer to notice the full benefit, especially when treating chronic arthritis symptoms. Continue taking Vimovo as prescribed. Contact your healthcare provider if your symptoms do not improve or become worse.
