What Causes Frequent Myalgia And Tiredness?

default
Posted on Wed, 27 Jul 2016
Question: I've been on Vimovo for a few weeks (500mg Naproxen/20mg esomeprazole). One week after I started I had a week of flu like symptoms and now I get them every 2-3 days and they last 2 days. It's only muscle aches and tiredness. Is this likely just a virus? I only have 2 weeks left to go. Do I need to worry about this?
