Nexium??????
I was given Nexium by my doctor for my acid reflux plus unexplained stomach pain. If I try not to take it my pains and acid reflux comes back. My question is…can I continue to take this medicine forever with no repercussions?
Does it matter what time you take Nexium? Just starting today.?
No it does not matter. I started on Nexium 2 months ago and I take mine in the morning. Whatever is easiest for you to remember. It works great!
Besides Nexium or other drugs what is a good cure for Acid Reflux (heartburn)?
The typical recommendations for acid reflux that do not include medication are:-Do not eat three to four hours before bedtime.-Raise the head of the bed (a brick under each of the two legs at the head of the bed are sufficient).-Avoid wearing tight clothing.-Avoid use of caffiene.-Avoid large meals (eat more frequent, smaller meals).If all else fails, see a doctor. You may have a structural defect (like a hiatal hernia) or other condition (like H. Pylori) that may need treatment.
What’s the cause of extremely sour taste in mouth?
I have it for couple of months. My primary care doctor prescribed me Nexium for acid reflux, but it didn’t help at all. It tastes like having a slice of lemon in my mouth all day long. I can’t stand it. I asked my husband to kiss me in the most extreme period to see if he feels it but he said I taste perfectyl fine.I haveno idea what to do
Anyone had bad reactions to Aciphex?
I was diagnosed with acid reflux and didn’t really think I had a problem with it that much. I was put on Aciphex and experienced everything from passing out to heart attack symptoms and anxiety and depression all within 10 days…… I quit taking and stomache felt better immediately, but my head still feels funny after being off a week. They suggested Nexium…. but I am just going to do over the counter stuff and change diet. I would rather lose an arm or leg than to continue on that poison. Anyone had similar?
Can anyone tell me if there is a generic version of an acid blocker drug like Nexium or Protonix?
I may sign up for insurance that only pays for generics but I take Protonix to block my stomah acid producton.
Do the prescription drugs Nexium and AcipHex have the same treatment results?
As a general rule, standard doses of proton pump inhibitors (20 mg of omeprazole, 30 mg of lansoprazole, 20 mg of rabeprazole, or 40 mg of pantoprazole, all administered before breakfast) will relieve symptoms and heal esophagitis in approximately 85 to 90 percent of patients.Most patients with GERD, particularly those with sever esophagitis, will relapse once therapy is discontinued.AcipHex possesses a slightly faster onset of action because of its pharmacokinetics. Overall, when comparing proton pump inhibitors (PPI), such as Nexium and AcipHex, while some differences have been reported, the magnitude of differences has been small and of uncertain clinical importance. In particular, the degree to which any of the reported differences would justify the selection of one versus another PPI, particularly when considering cost-effectiveness, is unclear.-physician at large.
Is it possible to have a reaction to Nexium after taking it for over 6 wks.?
yes it is possible to have a reaction after taking any new medicne, believe me i tkae alot of medicine. i have crohn’s disease and i toolk nexium it work great for me but insurance would not pay for it so had to swich to protonix
What can I do for acid reflux besides taking Protonix. It really burns at night.?
I used to get stomach ulcers and acid reflux and gastritis all the time, back when I was in college. I had x-rays taken of my stomach and remember laying on my bed in teh fetal position more often than not. I was 18 at the time, in the best shape of my life (aside from the digestive problems) but the pain killed me. I took malox and was on nexium (or what ever the fad pill of the day was) and they helped me get on with life. But they never addressed the reason/cause of why I was getting the problems, so they all kept coming back. It didn’t matter what I ate, even the bland diet I tried didn’t help. Antibiotics did nothing. I drank WATER like a fish, still nothing.Long story short, my friend turned me onto Chiropractic and after a year or so of care, I have never had another episode in my life. I’m thirty now. During the course of the year of care, I slowly weened myself off of all medication, prescription and over the counter alike. Now that I am a Chiropractor, I have helped many a patient with similar problems. It works every time. Click on my bio and email me, i’ll help you find someone in your area who can help you.In the meantime, go to your local health food store and buy a bottle of liquid Aloe Vera. Take about a shot a day. I used to but it in one liter bottles and fill the cap, mix it with water (NOT JUICE) and drink it. It will help soothe your throat and stomach and begin aiding your body in HEALING what damage has occured in those areas due to the stomach acid.Your body heals itself everyday, if you doubt it, give yourself a paper cut and watch what happens over the next couple of weeks. But for it to do so, you need to give it proper time and “motivation.”I’ll be waiting to hear from you….
