Common Questions and Answers about Nexium tablets vs capsules

nexium

Avatar m tn I was nervous about taking Nexium and was only going to try some famotidine chewable tablets but your note has convinced me to pass on the tablets and to give Nexium a try in case I am not only suffering from GERD but there is also some damage to my esophagus that needs repairing. What resources are there to learn what drugs affect the LES? In terms of food and lifestyle changes, I found some links that provide ideas: http://www.mayoclinic.

798555 tn?1292787551 I take Solaray magnesium bio citrate capsules 400 mg X 2/day. I find that I absorb the capsules better than I do pills/tablets; at least I can tell more difference. And the formulation I take is supposed to be for "enhanced absorption". I have a particular routine --- levo at 3:30 am, followed about an hour later with one of my blood pressure meds; 7:00 am - my cytomel and other bp med.
Avatar f tn m wondering about rasberry leaf capsules. Just becuase it would be easier for me to take. Questions (btw im 37w+4d) How many should i take a day?.. The bottle says 2 a da but on some websites it says 2 doses 3 times a day. Have any of you actually taken it?? Does it help induce labor or make labor easier?
Avatar n tn t allow Nexium to be sold/patented because it was so similar to Prilosec. Prilosec = Omeprazole vs Nexium = Esomeprazole, just go with Omeprazole and pay the generic copay.
Avatar f tn Can't help but to try! I read a story on here of a lady who inserted 3 tablets at night for only two nights then she also thought it wasn't working but then her water broke the second day :) i just got a bottle today and gonna try it tonight!
Avatar f tn My Obstetrician prescribed me oral tablets instead of cream. See if that's a possibility.
Avatar n tn There is no 'safer.' It depends on which one works better for you. They don't all work by a completely similar mode of action. So you'll have to try to find the one that works and gives you the fewer side-effects.
Avatar m tn Been taking Zantac effervescent regularly and have tried every other drug known to man but the doctor suggested we try 20mg Nexium a day to see if that helps. It has, but after 10 days now I seem to be getting worse again. Also started taking Gaviscon (again) before meals. The question is how long do we take the Nexium? permenently, or stop when I feel better? the doctor was vague abd said the usual; come back in 2 weeks and let me know how you are. Anybody have any side affects?
Avatar f tn Also was on Nexium, about a year later I missed 2 days doses of my nexium tablets and my vomiting seemed to subside some, come to find out that Nexium was contributing to my some of my sickness, my Dr. said that 2% of people who take nexium have severe vomitting as a side effect. I have a few good days, and then I have spans of days or even up to 1.

Avatar f tn My new medication says you can break or crush the tablets in the information my consultant and pharmacy told me it would be fine to snap and swallow smaller.
Avatar f tn Last week during the night I awoke and it felt as is my stomach, esophagus and throat were on fire. I went to my Dr. who prescribed Nexium for what she thought was GERD. She also drew some labs. I have taken the Nexium since Sat which has helped a little along with diet modification. Today they called and my lipase was elevated at only 70. She said I should have a Gall Bladder UltraSound done and if that is normal then to procede with a HydaScan.
