Interactions between your drugs

Moderate

naproxen esomeprazole

Applies to: Vimovo (esomeprazole / naproxen) and Vimovo (esomeprazole / naproxen)

Talk to your doctor before using naproxen together with esomeprazole. Using these medications together may affect the enteric coating of naproxen, causing the medication to be released too early in the body. This can make naproxen less effective. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Moderate

itraconazole esomeprazole

Applies to: Onmel (itraconazole) and Vimovo (esomeprazole / naproxen)

Talk to your doctor before using itraconazole together with esomeprazole. By reducing stomach acid, esomeprazole can decrease the absorption and blood levels of itraconazole and make the medication less effective against fungal infections. Your doctor or pharmacist may be able to offer suggestions on safer alternatives if you require treatment for stomach acid or ulcer while you are being treated with itraconazole. However, if your doctor does prescribe these medications together, taking itraconazole with an acidic beverage such as a cola may help. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Drug and food interactions

Moderate

itraconazole food

Applies to: Onmel (itraconazole)

Food increases the absorption of itraconazole capsules but decreases the absorption of itraconazole oral solution. Capsules should be taken immediately after a full meal and the solution be taken on an empty stomach to ensure best results.

Moderate

esomeprazole food

Applies to: Vimovo (esomeprazole / naproxen)

Food may interfere with the absorption of esomeprazole. Esomeprazole should be taken at least one hour before meals and at the same time every day. When esomeprazole is given to patients receiving continuous enteral nutrition (tube feedings), the tube feeding should be interrupted for at least 1 hour before and 1 hour after the dose of esomeprazole. This will make it easier for your body to absorb the medication. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Moderate

naproxen food

Applies to: Vimovo (esomeprazole / naproxen)

Ask your doctor before using naproxen together with ethanol. Do not drink alcohol while taking naproxen. Alcohol can increase your risk of stomach bleeding caused by naproxen. Call your doctor at once if you have symptoms of bleeding in your stomach or intestines. This includes black, bloody, or tarry stools, or coughing up blood or vomit that looks like coffee grounds. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
