What Is Duexis?
Duexis (famotidine-ibuprofen) is a prescription medication used to manage the signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis while reducing the risk of developing upper gastrointestinal ulcers. It works by combining ibuprofen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces pain and inflammation, with famotidine, an H2 blocker that protects the stomach lining from ibuprofen-related irritation. With the right dose and ongoing monitoring, patients can experience meaningful pain relief with a lower risk of NSAID-associated stomach complications compared to ibuprofen alone.

Is Online Duexis Treatment Right for You?
Duexis may be appropriate for adults who have been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis and need ongoing anti-inflammatory treatment. It is specifically intended for patients who are at risk for upper gastrointestinal ulcers and who require regular NSAID therapy to manage their joint pain and inflammation.
Because Duexis contains an NSAID, your prescriber will review your cardiovascular history, kidney function, and any history of gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcers. Patients with certain heart conditions, severe kidney disease, or known hypersensitivity to NSAIDs or aspirin may not be eligible for this medication.

Frequently asked questions
Duexis is a prescription tablet that combines ibuprofen (800 mg) and famotidine (26.6 mg). Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces pain, swelling, and inflammation in arthritic joints. Famotidine is an H2 blocker added to reduce the risk of ibuprofen-related stomach ulcers. The two ingredients work together so you can manage arthritis symptoms with built-in stomach protection.
Duexis is FDA-approved for the relief of signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis in adults. It is specifically indicated for patients who are at risk for developing NSAID-associated upper gastrointestinal ulcers.
The standard dose of Duexis is one tablet taken three times daily. Tablets should be swallowed whole and not split, crushed, or chewed. Your physician will confirm the correct dosing schedule based on your individual health profile.
Common side effects can include nausea, heartburn, diarrhea, constipation, headache, and dizziness. As with all NSAIDs, more serious risks include cardiovascular events, gastrointestinal bleeding, and kidney effects. The famotidine component is included specifically to reduce the risk of stomach ulcers. Contact your doctor promptly if you experience chest pain, black or tarry stools, or significant stomach pain.
Duexis should not be used by patients who have had an allergic reaction (including hives or asthma) to aspirin or other NSAIDs, those with severe kidney disease, those who have recently had or are about to have coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, or women in the third trimester of pregnancy. Your physician will review your complete medical history before prescribing.
Yes. Duexis can interact with blood thinners such as warfarin, other NSAIDs or aspirin, ACE inhibitors, ARBs, diuretics, lithium, methotrexate, and certain antidepressants. Always provide your Doctronic physician with a full list of current medications, supplements, and over-the-counter drugs before starting Duexis.
