Nexium and dexilant

Common Questions and Answers about Nexium and dexilant

nexium

Business woman2 Yes, it is possible to have symptoms even though you are taking the Nexium. I would let your doctor know that you are having the symptoms and they may suggest trying a different medication to see if it works better for you. Our bodies can start to react differently to medications over time or maybe something else has changed which is keeping it from working as well as it did previously.
Avatar f tn t help so they had me had ranitidine every night and the nexium ever morning. It worked well for a long time. I am over weight and I know this is another thing that is cause it to bother me so much. But I started hurting 8 months ago and have been back and forth to the doctor several times since with severe pain in the upper abdomen above my belly button all the way to under my rib cage and severe back pain lower and center of my back.

Avatar n tn I started having symptoms of feeling full and bloating in my stomach about 3 months ago (early May 2012) and have been on Dexilant since early May 2012 and Nexium prior to that for several years. I still feel miserable and the only thing my doc said was to continue the Dexilant and he would see me on 6 weeks. I am a otherwise healthy 38 y/o F, I don't smoke, I watch my diet and exercise . I am at my wits end! Please advise.
Avatar m tn I am a 29/F and have had stomach issues since I was 21 years old. I was diagnosed with Gastritis after an endoscopy and they put me on a PPI. I tried a few different ones and none seemed to help except Dexilant after 8 months of use. The symptoms I have are extreme nausea almost daily, stomach pain, acid feeling, bloating, gas, a bubble that appears in my stomach below my sternum, scratchy throat.
Avatar n tn I have been throwing up stomach acid with flecks, and strings of blood, also foam that is a pinkish red color. should I be concerned, I have acid reflux with a hiatal hernia and severe Gerd.
238010 tn?1420406272 Also have acid reflux and i'm cirrhotic, prilosec is what my hepo put me on, been on it for a few years and it works great.
Avatar m tn I HAVE BEEN PRESCRIBED 150MG OF ZANTAC AND ALSO 40MG OF NEXIUM DAILY FOR RELIEF OF POST NASAL MUCUS CONGESTION. ARE THE COMBINATION EXCESSIVE?
1387175 tn?1326400997 H2 blockers (ex. Zantec or Pepcid) are another type of medication used to treat GERD. PPI's (ex. Prilosec, Prevacid, Dexilant, Nexium, Protonix) are another class of medications used to treat GERD. H2 blockers are generally thought to be safer with less adverse reactions than PPI's.
3211873 tn?1345809345 Thank you for your response. I have had GERD for years but only occassionally get flair ups of it. This last round of flair ups has been unreal. I finally went to the ER as the wait here for a Gastroenterologist is 6 months plus. The ER did an ultrasound today and are in the process of booking me for scope which should take 4-6 weeks (booking through the ER is ALOT quicker). Thankfully the ER Dr.
Avatar f tn Ive been on naproxen, nexium, dexilant, and many other medications but nothing is working. Ive been taking ibuphroen to ease the pain but its not helping any more. Ive had ultra sound on my stomach, ultra sound on gull bladder, die test on my gull bladder, x-rays, and many blood test run and they can't figure it out. Tommorrow im getting a scope test done but they act like thats not going to solve anything. I have doctor bills aidding up but no answers.
Avatar f tn s (proton pump inhibitors) are a group of medications used to treat GERD like Prilosec, Prevacid, Protonix, Aciphex, Nexium, and Dexilant.
Avatar m tn Please help!!!! I have been suffering with my throat for over a year now, have been to numerous doctors, had several tests, tried several medications (including prescription, over-the- counter, and herbal remedies), literally spent hundreds of dollars and nothing has helped and no one can tell me what's wrong!!! It started over a year ago with a feeling like I have something stuck in my throat. I also started spitting up white foamy stuff several times a day ( see picture).
963268 tn?1312900315 It appears from your description of your stomach condition, that a biopsy of your stomach lining was analyzed by a Pathologist and declared negative for Heliocbacter pylori. Were you given an acid reducer to calm your stomach lining?. I had an ulcer caused by H. pylori, and I used an antibiotic three times a day for 10 days. I also took an acid reducer once a day that healed by stomach lining. Today, I take one Prilosec, 20-mg, and I have no pain.
Avatar f tn I'm a 42 year old female. Fairly healthy. I've been diagnosed with GERD since 2002. I had it under control with low-dose PPI's, diet changes and lifestyle changes until 2006. For the next couple years, I was diligent about my diet, lifestyle changes and taking my prescriptions which included taking high-dose PPI's twice a day (Prevacid Solutabs, Nexium, Protonix, Prevacid, Zegrid, Kapidex, Aciphex, etc....) and supplemented with Gaviscon or Zantac.
1399363 tn?1462342610 I cannot breath , I feel if I burp it release me . I was on dexilant pills, i changed on nexium, i just begun this treatment from my doctor. I just had the gastroendoscopy, they found a lot of erythematous mucosa in my stomach wich is causes the chocking filling. the worst is that im having panick atacks, and the xanax they gave me is helping me a lot with the breathing problem too.im scared to go to work because usually at work im having the panick atacks.
Avatar m tn ve tried all the OTC drugs like prilosec, maalox, gaviscon, gas-x, Zantac, and even Dexilant. These drugs have minimal effect on my symptoms. I've even tried Acupuncture for stress. I've cut out Gluten and Dairy for a time, though admittedly I probably have not done this for a long enough period (about two weeks total). This has really effected my quality of life and my productivity on the job. Sometimes I think I will have to live with this forever which makes me very depressed.
Avatar m tn If you or a loved one suffered a heart attack after taking an acid reflux medication, you may have a legal claim Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are some of the most widely prescribed drugs in the United States, and generate around $14 billion in annual sales. Prilosec, Nexium and other PPIs work by reducing the amount of stomach acid produced by the glands in the stomach lining.
6024302 tn?1379276406 I googled not feeling like can take a full breath and one of the links was for LPR. I read about the signs and symptoms and everything fit perfect. Things I were fighting with and writing off to allergies such as constant ear infections, feeling of post nasal drip. Also i began to salivate tremendously, just non stop, like the feeling you get before you vomit. The biggest nuisance has been the breathing. Thanks for listening, hope to hear from yal.
Avatar f tn No hpylori, no ulcers, no colitis and etc . I am taking dexilant 60mg for 2months now. It help much to soothe and control the acid but still the pain in my ribs and upper GI are still burning, chest pain or heartburn still didn't go away yet. How long to be safe taking the dexilant? And how long to cure the acid reflux and gastritis? I am strictly on diet now, no more spicy, no pasta that I love most, no citrus and soft drinks, I don't drink coffee and alcohol.
Avatar f tn Official diagnosis was erosion in the antrum compatible with gastritis. Been going on for about a year and a half. Burning pain pretty much everyday...some days are better than others and pain is worse in the morning. Hasn't responded to Protonix, Dexilant, Nexium, Carafate, or Zantac. None of those medicines help the pain...Carafate actually made my stomach burn slightly when I took it. I've had an endoscopy with biopsies. They said I didn't have cancer or h.pylori.
Avatar f tn Diagnosed via endoscopy with a small gastric erosion compatible with gastritis several months ago (negative for h.pylori). Have tried Protonix for 3 months, Dexilant for 2 months, Nexium for 2 weeks (felt worse), and have been on Carafate for a month. I've also tried some "at home remedies". Nothing works. I went to see my primary care Dr. for stress/anxiety and he thinks that may be why my stomach is not healing.
Avatar n tn The only medication she started around that time was Dexilant 60mg. There is no history of heart problems but there are digestive issues. In april she had some bloodwork done and then again this month. We are thinking that she has symptoms of anemia but the doctors are saying its nothing too serious. Could the symptoms be caused by Dexilant? If so, how long until the Dexilant is out of her system (I mean if she would go off of it.) Also, is this bloodwork indicative of Iron deficiency anemia?
Avatar m tn Hello, I am taking a very low dose of nefazodone because I'm prone to having serious side effects from most meds, especially anti-depressants. When I increased to 75 mg and then 100 mg, I started to have horrible acid reflux. I'm currently taking Dexilant in combination with Carafate and, as needed Zantac, to try to control the reflux. I'm still experiencing serious discomfort until several hours after taking nefazodone.
Avatar f tn Hello, everyone; I have been on Dexilant for nearly two months due to severe GERD. So far, this medicine has worked wonders and the only side effect I've noticed is a minor metallic taste in my mouth, which is so minor (compared to the side effects of other drugs) that it's barely anything. I have noticed, however, in the last 6 months, I've developed some symptoms that make me think my magnesium might be low (a side effect of prolonged PPI meds).
