Effectiveness
How Vimovo Affects PatientsEsomeprazole is a drug used to treat Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), erosive esophagitis, and prevent duodenal ulcer recurrence. It works by blocking the enzyme in the stomach that produces acid. This reduces the amount of acid in the stomach, preventing symptoms of GERD and protecting the stomach from ulcers. Esomeprazole is similar to other drugs in its class, but it does not have anticholinergic or antihistamine side effects. Taking esomeprazole long-term can be associated with potential risks,
How Vimovo works in the bodyEsomeprazole is used to reduce the amount of stomach acid produced. It does this by binding to proteins on the surface of cells in the stomach, called (H+, K+)-ATPase enzymes. This binding prevents the last step in the production of stomach acid and reduces both the normal and extra production that can occur due to triggers like stress or spicy foods. The binding of esomeprazole to the (H+, K+)-ATPase enzyme is permanent, so the effects can last for more than 24 hours.
When to interrupt dosage
The advisable amount of Vimovo is contingent upon the diagnosed circumstance, including Curling Ulcer, Hemorrhage and Critical Illness. The magnitude of dosage differs, as per the approach of delivery (e.g. Tablet, delayed release or Injection, powder, lyophilized, for solution - Intravenous) denoted in the table beneath.Condition

Vimovo Reviews: What are patients saying about Vimovo?
5Patient Review
12/29/2019 I don't understand why people are so uneducated about their medications. Naprosyn Sodium is the same drug as Alleve, and the side effects come from IT. The other drug is simply to try to reduce the harsh effects of Naprosyn Sodium on your G I tract. It's not a separate medication, but a combination of two drugs.

10/4/2016 I've been taking this treatment for around a week to help with my hip pain. While it does work well, I have noticed some concerning side effects like dizziness and heart palpitations. Not sure if I'll be able to take it long-term.

11/2/2016 Vimovo has done wonders for my arthritis pain. I was previously taking four Aleve pills per day, plus four Nexium pills (all over the counter at the recommended dosage), but now I only need to take two Vimovo pills and I'm good to go. No more stomach burn or nausea, and a lot fewer pills!

4/17/2018 I started taking Vimovo because I developed ulcers from Naproxin. I was on it for over a year, and only realized how much it impacted my mood once I stopped taking it. It did help with my Fibro pain and back issues, but the cost was too high.

10/16/2015 I was prescribed this for an infection in my jaw that caused it to click when I opened my mouth. After four days of taking the medication as directed, I experienced extreme drowsiness, muscle pain, headaches, and neck pain. I also had trouble eating and felt nauseous most of the time. This was by far the worst experience I've ever had with a medication and would not recommend it to anyone.

5/7/2018 I've been struggling with Achilles tendinitis for over half a year now and have tried many different treatments to no avail. My doctor prescribed Vimovo, but after taking it I experienced severe pain in my abdomen and was unable to sleep. I'll be discontinuing use of this medication and instead stick to Advil and Turmeric.

4/9/2019 Unfortunately, this treatment gave me really severe diarrhea and stomach pain. It also killed my appetite. I had to stop taking it after a month.

1/21/2020 I was prescribed this medication to help with my rheumatoid arthritis. Unfortunately, I saw zero difference after taking it as directed; might as well have eaten Smarties.

8/28/2017 I had such terrible reactions to this medicine- vomiting, diarrhea, and numbness in my extremities. I think it might have also been causing problems with my liver or gallbladder because I was vomiting green bile.

5/12/2019 While this medication did help my arthritis pain, it also caused severe and permanent damage to the lining of my stomach after just six months. I had to be hospitalized as a result and was diagnosed with chronic microscopic colitis. If there were any way to take legal action against the manufacturer of this drug, I would.
