Description
Introduction
Vimovo 500/20mg Tablet is a powerful prescription medication that combines two active ingredients—naproxen, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), and esomeprazole magnesium, which belongs to the class of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). While it’s not just a simple pain reliever, it also helps minimize stomach problems commonly caused by NSAIDs. Some common side effects you may notice include headache, indigestion, heartburn, or dizziness. Wondering if it’s right for you? It’s always best to speak with a healthcare professional—especially before starting any new meds. Also, don’t be alarmed if your doctor recommends regular monitoring—it’s just part of keeping things safe!
How to Take
Swallow the tablet whole with water, ideally at least 30 minutes before meals and exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
Dosage
The recommended dosage is typically one tablet twice daily, once in the morning and once in the evening before meals, but always follow what your doctor advises.
Shelf Life
Vimovo tablets generally have a shelf life of 2 to 3 years from the manufacture date. Be sure to check the expiry date printed on the package.
How to Store
Store in a cool, dry place at room temperature below 25°C. Keep the bottle tightly closed and away from direct sunlight or moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
