Duexis is a combination medication that includes ibuprofen and famotidine. It is used primarily for the relief of pain and inflammation associated with conditions like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, while also providing protection against gastric ulcers that can be caused by long-term NSAID use. Duexis helps manage both pain and the gastrointestinal side effects associated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
