Hi
Thanks for your query to Health Care Magic.
Vimovo is a combination of 2 drugs:
1. Naproxen, a
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) indicated for the relief of pain
2.
Esomeprazole magnesium, an antacid for the relief of heartburn and prevention of development of gastric ulcer mainly caused by NSAIDs like Naproxen present in this drug.
Vimovo is mainly used for the symptomatic treatment of diseases like
osteoarthritis and
rheumatoid arthritis thus prescribed in your case.
Yes, Rash which you are experiencing is most probable due to the drug as Naproxen part of it is known to cause such rashes.
You can continue taking this drug for relief of your symptoms under doctor’s supervision where he will be mainly evaluating whether you are developing any problems with the drug like rashes,
gastric ulcers etc.
Your heart burns are mainly caused by Naproxen component of the drug whereas it is taken care by Esomeprazole component of the drug.
Hope that answers your query
Wishing you a quick recovery
With Best Regards
Take Care:)
