Common Questions and Answers about Esomeprazole nexium dose

nexium

Avatar f tn As fas as I know, nexium (esomeprazole) only interferes with biaxin (clarithromycin). It heightens the amount of esomeprazole by inhibiting the degradation of esomeprazole. Macrobid is nitrofurantoin, not clarithromycin. You may also look here: http://www.ehealthme.com/drug_interactions_side_effects/Nexium-2792078.
Avatar m tn p. suggested trying (Nexium) - Esomeprazole 20mg instead, with the instruction that if there was a temporary flare up, - double the dose. After several months this infrequent chest pain, accompanied by bloating, sore stomach and not too much reflux has become very intrusive and the pain worse, often improved by some food! Could the Nexium be too powerful after time and be a trouble maker? has anyone experience, please? I have had "Pylori" test, endoscopy etc.
Avatar f tn The Nexium (esomeprazole) should be taken at least 1 hour before eating, so I would separate it from your multivitamin. Other than that you may take these medications together. Just be aware of a few interactions. The Nexium (esomeprazole) can increase the effects of the diazepam. Taking diazepam with a sedating antihistamine can cause increased sedation, dizziness, and confusion. It was difficult to find what interacts with the Kanna.
Avatar n tn My doc prescribed me 40mg nexium for the next month to see if it helps with my reflux. He told me to take it with food since the stomach cells need to be active (food activates them) for most benefit. That is in complete contradiction to the label, which says to take it 1hr before eating. I have taken other PPIs and they also suggest the 1hr before eating rule.
Avatar m tn I think insurance companies are dropping many drugs because acceptable generic equivalents are available, as is the case with Nexium (Esomeprazole). The generic version of the drug will work very well for you. I'm betting you will be just fine. I wonder if you have considered discussing tapering off/discontinuing Nexium/Esomeprazole and see what happens. After having the Nissen Fundoplication surgery I was able to discontinue taking the drug and have been symptom free.
Avatar f tn I started taking over-the-counter Nexium (esomeprazole magnesium 20mg/capsule) a few days ago and may be taking them for at least the next 2 weeks. My blood magnesium levels were low a few weeks ago and they just got back to normal right before I started taking the Nexium. I've been taking Naxium in the evening (4-5pm) at least an hour before having dinner.

Avatar m tn I've had GERD for a few years and I take 40mg of Nexium (Esomeprazole) every day. I'd like to try magic (Psilocybin) mushrooms. It it possible that they would aggravate my reflux or interact negatively with the Nexium? I want to see brand new colors and feel like I'm one with the universe but I also want to be kind to my esophagus. Thanks!
Avatar f tn It’s an acute symptom since I have never noticed them. Actually after 2 weeks of Nexium ( to treat reflux ) that I first notice the spasms/ Myoclonus... I’ve seen a lot of you tibe videos and doesn’t look like seizures, it’s more like jerking arms and legs, mildly. Please help us.
Avatar f tn although the prefixes in pantoprozole(protonix) and esomeprazole magnesium (nexium) are different, its the suffixes that you need to look at. They are the main make-up of these drugs.
Avatar n tn I have 10 year throat problem: in the first couple years, I just intermittently felt something/tickle in the area just below the throat (upper trachea), I didn't pay much attention; then in the last couple years, the feeling/tickle just below the throat was getting strong (but sometimes tickle/feeling still gone), and sometimes I had cough caused by saliva at night times.
709686 tn?1277432159 Esomeprazole (Nexium) is slightly different than omeprazole (Prilosec). But your body could react the same way. You could try a small amount and see. There are some combo otc drugs by Rolaids and others that have an antacid and famotidine (acid reducer). Those probably don't work as well.
Avatar f tn Omeprazole(prilosec), lansoprazole (prevacid), pantoprazole (protonix), rabeprazole( aciphaex) and esomeprazole(Nexium). All are of same efficacy. If there is no response to one, switching to another might be helpful. Get your doctor's opinion before changing the medications. ================================================================ The information provided is for patients’ education only and is not a medical advice.
Avatar n tn Esomeprazole (nexium) and all other proton pump inhibitor have a black box warning - hypomagnesemia (magnesium deficiency). Symptoms of magnesium deficiency are many but include constipation, palpitations and fatigue. Not all hot nodules produce symptoms but your nodule may be the cause of palpitations and fatigue. If a hot nodule causes hyperthyroidism, it can be treated with anti thyroid drugs, radioactive iodine, or surgery.
Avatar n tn s the reason i am coughing and having sore throat almost all the time I have been on Nexium (Esomeprazole) 20mg twice a day for 15years and my doctor has put me on Ranitidine 150mg twice a day and also chewing renee here and there but end result its not working but my doctor is not listening whenever I go to see him he fobs me off I wonder if there is someone or something can help me.
Avatar n tn I had first Taxol 9 days ago. Had funny, random feeling in abdomen during infusion, but no pain. Along with extreme leg pain 3rd night after inf I developed sharp, shooting pains across my lower abdomen, hip-bone to hip bone, and stinging, painful "spasms" near my tailbone/anus. Next day Loritabs resolved most of the pain and was tolerable w/out pain meds by day 6, but made me constipated again. I'm still somewhat bloated and don't feel quite right.
Avatar n tn I have been on Aciphex 20 since 2007, with instant results. After changing Health Ins. , I am told by the current insurer that they won't cover Aciphex. I must go thru a step program, starting with Nexium, which my Doctor dosed at 40 mg instead of 20 mg, saying Nexium didn't come in 20 and the 40mg of Nexium is comparable to the 20 mg Aciphex . Questions: (1) Is the above true? (2) Are the side effects the same, and (3) What's the difference between the two.
