For Osteoarthritis "I was prescribed Duexis for intense menstrual cramps caused by a large cervical cyst. This medication made the months waiting for a diagnosis and surgery much more tolerable. It was pricy (the insurance company did not want to pay for it!) and a little hard to get."

For Osteoarthritis "Was taking this medication for tendinitis. After a couple of months of taking 800mg once a day my resting heart rate increased from 67 to 75. Haven't been able to check my blood pressure yet while increased BP can be a side effect. Also have been experiencing chest pain and I know heart attack and stroke and blood clotting can be a side effect. I will stop taking this medication and see if my resting heart rate decreases and pay attention to continuing chest pain. I’m gonna have to experiment with anti inflammatory foods and spices."

For Osteoarthritis "I have temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain and this works better than plain ibuprofen for some reason. I also don't get stomach upset, etc. I have Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) because I have taken so much ibuprofen over the last 30 years to control my pain in the jaw and face which moves down to neck and shoulders and downward if I don't stop it as soon as I can once it begins."
Are you taking this medicine?

For Rheumatoid Arthritis "I was prescribed Duexis for chronic pain. I took this for a couple of days. I had shortness of breath, stomach pains and I thought I was going to have a stroke. I immediately stopped taking this. I'm disappointed as I have had chronic pain for over 5 years and was hoping this would help. But the feeling of about to have a stroke is worse than my chronic pain."

Duexis (famotidine / ibuprofen) for Osteoarthritis "After receiving chemotherapy for an gagressive breast cancer in 2012, Aleve handled my joint and muscle pain for quite awhile. When I began having stomach pain, I told my doctor and he prescribed Duexis, twice per day. I have been on this dosage for several years now, and it is hard to function without it. I can move around freely, with no pain! Without it I move (or more like DON'T move) like someone 90 years old (I'm 65). I am getting ready to start a generic and am praying it works as well."
