Vimovo is used to treat symptoms of osteoarthritis,rheumatoid arthritis,and ankylosing spondylitis. It consists of two active substances,Naproxen (500 mg) and Esomeprazole (20 mg). Naproxen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It reduces the substances in the body which cause inflammation,pain,and fever. Esomeprazole helps reduce the risk of stomach ulcers in patients who may be at risk for them while receiving treatment with an NSAID. Esomeprazole,however,may increase the risk of bone fracture in the hip,wrist,or spine |
