What is Naproxen/esomeprazole DR?
Naproxen/esomeprazole DR is a combination medication prescribed to treat frequent heartburn in adults [1]. It is formulated as a delayed-release (DR) capsule [1].
How does Naproxen/esomeprazole DR work?
This medication combines a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), naproxen, with a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), esomeprazole [1]. Naproxen helps reduce pain and inflammation, while esomeprazole decreases the amount of acid produced in the stomach [1]. This dual action helps manage heartburn symptoms and protect the stomach lining from potential NSAID-induced damage [1].
What are the potential risks of Naproxen/esomeprazole DR?
Using NSAIDs like naproxen can increase the risk of serious cardiovascular thrombotic events, myocardial infarction, and stroke, which can be fatal. This risk may occur early in treatment and increase with duration of use. Naproxen/esomeprazole DR is contraindicated in the peri-operative setting of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery [1].
Additionally, NSAIDs can cause gastrointestinal bleeding, ulceration, and perforation of the stomach or intestines, which can be fatal. These events can occur at any time during use and without warning symptoms. Patients with a history of ulcer disease or GI bleeding are at greater risk [1].
Esomeprazole, a component of this medication, may also increase the risk of osteoporosis-related fractures of the hip, wrist, or spine. Long-term use, especially at higher doses, may increase this risk [1].
