What is Duexis?

Duexis is a prescription medication given to adults to relieve the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. It can be used as an alternative to ibuprofen in adults who are at risk of developing stomach and intestinal ulcers from taking ibuprofen.

If you have rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis your doctor may have prescribed Duexis to you, particularly if they feel you’re at risk of developing stomach or intestinal ulcers. Duexis is a medication you take as a tablet you swallow. It works like ibuprofen, as it reduces inflammation and pain to give you relief from your arthritis symptoms. But unlike ibuprofen, it also decreases stomach acid production, lowering your risk of gastrointestinal ulcers.

Duexis active ingredients

Duexis contains two active ingredients, ibuprofen and famotidine. They work together to relieve the pain and stiffness of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis, and to reduce your risk of developing upper gastrointestinal ulcers.

Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces pain and inflammation. When you take Duexis, the ibuprofen it contains blocks the action of a group of enzymes called COX enzymes that help make a substance called prostaglandin. Prostaglandin triggers inflammation and stimulates your nerves to send pain signals, but by stopping it from being produced, ibuprofen reduces how much inflammation you have in your affected joints and dampens any pain you feel.

Famotidine is a histamine H2-receptor blocker medicine that reduces how much stomach acid you produce. It works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance your body releases that encourages your stomach to produce more digestive acids. This reduces how much acid you produce, lowering your risk of ulcers.
