WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Bone Fracture
  • Several published observational studies suggest that proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy may be associated with an increased risk for osteoporosis-related fractures of the hip, wrist, or spine. The risk of fracture was increased in patients who received high-dose, defined as multiple daily doses, and long-term PPI therapy (a year or longer).
  • Patients should use the lowest dose and shortest duration of PPI therapy appropriate to the condition being treated. Patients at risk for osteoporosis-related fractures should be managed according to the established treatment guidelines.
  • Vimovo (a combination PPI/NSAID) is approved for use twice a day and does not allow for administration of a lower daily dose of the PPI.

ADVERSE REACTIONS

Postmarketing Experience
  • bone fracture
