FDA APPROVES AN ABSURD LABELING CHANGE FOR DUEXIS
Why take two pills when you only have to take one? That was the philosophy of Horizon Pharma in developing Duexis®, a medication that combines two common and inexpensive medications — ibuprofen, an NSAID, and famotidine, a stomach protectant — into one tablet. The least effective medication is one that the patient doesn’t take, so there is surely benefit in reducing the number of pills in a drug regimen to improve compliance and achieve optimal therapeutic results, right?
