Common Questions and Answers about Nexium and other drugs
nexium
I would recommend calling your local pharmacist for interactions. That is quite list of drugs. My mother was on quite a few herself until i found the underlying cause and she didn't need the drugs anymore. The only exception is tramadol which she takes rarely (had three prolapsed discs). She takes omega 3, and glucosamine with chondrotin.
My mother had severe clinical depression and severe anxiety disorder and many other adverse health conditions.
She was on acid blockers for 25 years (tagament for 20 years, nexium for 5 years and also took gaviscon for 10 years). I took my mother off nexium and gaviscon cold turkey and started digestive enzyme supplements and betaine HCI with pepsin supplements in their place. She never got worse only better. She no longer suffers GERD, LPR and is 95% improved with gastritis. If you don't want to go cold turkey you could try taking digestive enzyme supplements and wean off nexium more slowly.
Had been on Augmentin for a sinus infection, just finishing up the script, and take Crestor, Nexium, and Zyrtec on a regular basis. Symptoms started a few days after starting generic Zyrtec, which also caused unbelievable dryness that felt like I was dehydrated (no vomiting, though). A day after the chills, I noticed my urine was dark and my stools were very light, almost gray, and I started getting very itchy but no rash.

In many cases, problem such as gastritis and esophageal erosion due to GERD precede the development of esophageal spasms. It's thought that the erosive process allows the acid to penetrate through to the underlying nerves and in some manner irritate them enough to cause spasms of the esophagus. Spasms are the presence of uncoordinated muscular movements within the esophagus that can result in a lot of chest pain that often appears to be connected with the heart.
I know other people on nexium and are sick in ways that I won't elaborate here. I don't even know what it is for, but I don't take prescription drugs! As far as I'm concerned, Nexium is just another drug that big pharma. made, and they had to invent some symptoms that it can cure.
I'm 18, and I've never had any problems with indigestion before. Then this week, I started having severe burning in my throat and stomach after I ate, and drank, even if I was just drinking water. At first I tried just drinking some apple cider vinegar in water, since I read it was a natural cure for it, and it did help, for a few hours after a meal. The burning came back later, though, at night, too.
The past 3 days were horrible.
17, 2009 - The FDA today warned patients not to combine Plavix with Nexium, Prilosec, and nine other drugs -- including Prozac and Tagamet.
The drugs may make the anti-clotting drug Plavix dangerously less effective, the FDA says. They block an enzyme in the body that turns the drug into its active form. Plavix is the second most-prescribed drug in the world.
One concern was whether or not the Riba absorption is effected by all of these other drugs, especially the Nexium. Any thoughts there?My dr. knows I am on this and says ok, and he is a specialist in the area. Just would not want to do anything to effect treatment.
I have always gargeled with Advair and ENT does not seem to think that is an issue. I have started alternating with Singular for my asthma. This has really taken a toll.
Prilosec and any of the other PPI's like Nexium, Prevacid, Protonix, Aciphex, etc -- are routinely prescribed by liver specialists for GERD (chronic heartburn). I was on Nexium for much of treatment.
Anyhow, there are a variety of different ppi meds other than nexium, and prilosec. There are also other drugs like zantac, like tagamet and pepcid that may help. Some people take as much as 80mgs of nexium a day for severe cases. Others as little as 20mgs in a.m. with mylanta throughout the day and zantac or tagamet at night. It all differs with which physician each person has. I'm not sure what Lamisil is. The soreness if from the acid which causes inflammation. Hope this helps.
Yes you will live longer and healthier without both of these drugs. These drugs put the HARM in big pHARMa.
"The popular belief is that acid reflux is due to an excessive amount of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. New science has revealed that this is not the case. GERD is most often caused by too little hydrochloric acid being secreted by the stomach.
During digestion the stomach secretes acid to lower its pH to around 1.5-2.5 range.
that you were on anyway right? if he or she knew you were on nexium and xanax and still prescribed it to you then it should be okay i guess. also the same for your doc. that prescribed you the nexium. sometimes you can find on certain websites like drugs.com or something how certain meds react with others.
