Avatar n tn s do not work for everyone, or without the dietary changes....and everyone is different in how they work or if they will work....so give them a few weeks, if no change ask ur Dr about trying a H2inhibitor like pepcid.....but, the diet modifications will also aid the meds so do try that as well.
Avatar n tn my insurence does not pay for brand Nexium. Only brand Nexium works. The company who makes Nexium will ok brand if I have a rejection from my Ins. Co.

Avatar f tn My gastroenterologist does not seem to be concerned because the Nexium is working for me. Nexium is not suppose to effect the joints. Have your sister talk to her doctor. He may want to do some tests on her knee. It could be other issues.
1369218 tn?1282423884 Can you believe? How do they consult with a patient? How is this safe?? I changed where I purchase my meds after the second Walmart had another very broken English one. Even the Manager said they are having a problem with it and offered my a gift card! The new pharmacy had to make 6 calls to get the transfer done!! The Pharamacist called me at home and said they got it wrong 6 different times. Thank Goodness they required me to fill out my exact meds and dosages.
Avatar m tn Can you please tell me if you can take Nexium 40mg. and Zantac 75mg. together or on the same day. My GI doctor has me on Nexium 40mg. and my PCP wants me to take Zantac 75mg. at night before I go to bed. Is it safe, and can I take it with Xanax 1mg. I have GERDS and Barrett's Esophagus. And they both think it mjght be causing these little pinpoint pimples in my mouth, tongue, and throat.
Avatar n tn hello , i have plm with burp , it hard to get burp . i take nexium wont work , what i do ?
Avatar m tn What is the difference between Prevacid and Nexium in what it does and how it does it? Long term effects?... Is what I am feeling are effects from the aloe healing my esophagus or the medications?
1535467 tn?1342231670 I have tried nexium over the course of nearly 3 months, and it reduced the pain immensely. The belching and dull pain is still there unfortunately.. Not quite sure on how to fix the problem. I know long term use of acid reducers is not the answer.. As far as diet, I am allergic to milk and cheese, which limits my diet already. I don't eat anything spicy. I don't have h.pylori.
769503 tn?1238496321 we all need to experiment to find what works best....unfortunately it does not work bcuz the dr gave a an RX,,,,I know as this has happened to me where e gerd med stopped working and I needed to try a different med. I did some reading after reading about ur friend and joint pain from the meds is a possible side effect.
Avatar f tn How are you managing this diagnosis. PPIs, diet, Seems a bit confusing to me.
Avatar m tn I am taking 1 Nexium a day along with Motilium three times a day. Now this does not work a tell you. There are times when I think it does and another time when I think that nothing can cure this horrible thing. I agree with Selma to keep taking what was prescribed or call your doc to find out if you can start taking two or maybe add some other meds to assist. I was told that stress adds to it and also that anxiety can be experienced. Have your doctor advised you to do a Barium Meal.
Avatar n tn Hello. I was diagnosed with GERD several months ago, and lived with almost daily pain (no meds were really working) until about 2 months ago, when I started Nexium. I was blissfully almost with any symptoms for about 6 weeks, even if I ate common reflux triggers, but now I'm experiencing pain again. Can Nexium just stop working like that? I should add that my diagnosis came after basic blood tests, an endoscopy, an ultrasound to check my gallbladder and a CT scan of my abdomen.
Avatar f tn Since I stopped the nexium my tongue does look a little better. Still dry and rough looking and discolored but looks better then it did. I called the FDA and they are sending me out a form called med allert to fill out. And my Doctor said he can't rule out that the nexium caused the damage to my tongue, I have no keritin on the tongue he said the nexium could have caused it. He said if it improves even more he will say the nexium caused it.
Avatar m tn Hi...many of the meds for GERD/acid reflux deplete our system of the vitamins and minerals we need....they can also make it difficult to absorb them in a natural way or by supplementation..... But, u should be looking to ur PCP to do blood labs to make sure all levels r where they need to be. Magnesium and vit D go hand in hand and many times the drs will say vit d is low but not too many will say u also need the magnesium.... So ask what dose might be good for u to add....
Avatar n tn For some people nexium may work more effectively, or others it would be one of the others made by a different drug company. The only way to know is to try the med your doc prescribes and wait-to-see how you respond. If, after several weeks, you find you're still having problems, bring it to the attention of your doctor. A change of dosage or a change in the type of medication may help. Don't let anyone tell you they're all alike. They're not.
Avatar f tn He followed up with his doctor on this and I do not think they did the right thing by giving him Nexium. Since he has been on the nexium he has gained 20-30lbs and is now feeling bloated and worse than before. I just do not know what to do about this anymore. I do not know what it could be caused from. If maybe I could get a diet for this type of thing so i knew what kinds of foods that would be best for his stomach and or a better diagnosis. Could this be IBS? We will be following up with a G.
Avatar f tn Hi, Flycaster 305 - thanks for your reply! I will try elevation and see if it helps. After my endo yesterday, the doctor doesn't think GERD, but gastritis. I understand some of the symptoms are similar, so I'm sure some of the tips that help with GERD will also help me. I am on day 5 of the nexium, which I can't tell yet if it is going to work or not :((( I'm going to post and see how long it has taken for others. If i need to wait a while longer, I certainly will.........
