"I got this med for my RA after naproxen was no longer doing the trick after 5 years. I’m conflicted on how to rate the medicine because there are pros and cons. For one, the price is ridiculous. It’s $5 to get the 2 meds, versus hundreds for this “special one.” Also, the studies saying that Duexis is better at reducing ulcers than both meds separately aren’t statistically significant. Secondly, I did find this medicine to help my joint pain, but I was constantly attempting to take the lowest dose, as said on the warning labels. However, my doctor told me to take it 3 times a day, so I reluctantly downed 2400mg of ibuprofen a day. 2 months in, I’ve developed ulcers. It does seem counterintuitive to have patients with a lowered immune system take medications with such high rates of ulcers. I’ve never had a stomach ulcer, so I didn’t realize I was susceptible. But for others who have “strong stomachs,” this may help you."

"This prescription is absolutely amazing for my migraines/fibro/menstrual cramps! Despite taking the full gamut of migraine medications prescribed by a neurologist, I had to resort to my husband's prescription when the pain was just too much to take. Really takes the edge off a major migraine in full effect -- usually gets rid of it completely. I see a lot of reviews for taking this 3x a day with bad consequences. Taking ibuprofen 3x a day (no buffer) made my stomach bleed in the same way they describe. I never use more than one of these a day--never need more because they work so well! :) Unfortunately, Duexis is no longer available, and the regular price is outrageous without the $ off rebate via Chicago pharmacy. My doctor prescribed the drugs separately, and it doesn't work as well."
