nexium

Avatar n tn I am having another episode and am extremely nauseous, have slowed bowel movements, acid reflux and pain above the belly button. My doctor suspects an ulcer flaring up and has given me nexium to treat. I will see her in a week. Nexium is not having much effect. What is a differential diagnosis and what test can I have to deny or confirm ulcers? Is it possible to have multiple ulcers? I also suffer from tremors and am not on any medication except for nexium.
Avatar f tn Prilosec is taken over a 14 day period and can only be taken every 4 months. Not sure about dosing for Nexium but Prilosec is often prescribed because it is over the counter.
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 Yes, Nexium is completely safe to take with hepatitis C.
485077 tn?1222620140 Never took Nexium or any PPI prior to treatment, but took Nexium a day for most of treatment. After treatment, I was able to stop completely. So, treat yourself a little more of that purple pill if it will make your QOL on tx better. In addition, you might also try an H-2 pump like Zantac or Pepsid AC (not Pepsid Complete) at bedtime. Also, an antacid (like Tums, Mylanta) here or there is no problem as long as you space it around 3 hours away from your riba dosing.
1569985 tn?1328247482 I have done that when mine was high and then gone back to regular dosing. I hope you find the problem quickly. Let us know what you find out if you feel it would be of help to others on this drug. BTW, I am doing better on 1/2 of a 25 mg. Atenolol at night and nothing thru the day. My heart rate is up a little and I am not used to that, so I'm feeling a little hyper. I am hoping it will level out and I will feel more energetic. My dizzy spells are also less.
977806 tn?1249067346 Hello. I have GERD and just received a prescription for Nexium (have been using OTC Prilosec but after using a couple weeks of samples found Nexium worked perfect for my symptoms). I have individual Carefirst but horrible prescription plan. I just purchased 30 Nexium at $160.00! Is there anyone that has ordered from Canada online and if so do you have any recommendations for an online pharmacy. Thanks for any information.

1241508 tn?1313006082 ) without that information they might not know how to answer your question. Either way, I do hope that someone can provide you with a helpful answer. I think that you might have to elaborate though on what and where you are using it for. In addition to anything I have mentioned, please keep in mind, that while I or others may have extensive knowledge in many areas, you should always seek professional medical advice from your own physician, as it pertains to medical conditions or concerns.

Avatar n tn Hi all. I'm just very curious about this. I had an appointment with a gastro because I'm having twinges on the rib area and think it's due to anti-inflammatories. I've been on Nexium for years, so the GERD is really under control. Immediately I was set up for an endoscopy which is fine, but not what I really wanted. I guess I just wanted to test a drug like Carafate first, for relief, then get the endoscopy if needed.
Avatar f tn I am waiting on biopsy result meanwhile I am taking nexium with no relief. Do I need to worry about anything serious in my future?
439522 tn?1214951189 I so know that THAT statement is not true....even the nexium web site information says it may take some time to start working (the "some time" is what you guys helped me answer). Thanks again!
Avatar f tn If you are on triple therapy for genotype 1 and undetectable then your doc is following AASLD protocol for anemia management Anemia developed among recipients of both PIs. Hemoglobin decreases below 10 g/dL (grade 2 toxicity) occurred in 49% of patients who received a BOC regimen compared to 29% of those who received the SOC regimen, whereas 9% had a hemoglobin decline of <8.5 g/dL (grade 3 toxicity).
Avatar m tn Have Barrett's Esophagus - diagnosed. Lost Left Kidney 1996. Have had IBS diagnosed innumerable times before Barrett's found. Terrible Nightsweats - no matter what I do, cant seem to get rid of it. During the night change pyjamas at least once if not twice. Get awfully cold. Is there anything I can attempt to help. Have already a tremendously restricted diet - same as for IBS, but more severe. Anything I eat reflux's, even liquids.
Avatar m tn I was recently diagnosed with GERD, and prescribed to nexium. Today is the 2 week mark of taking nexium. The only symptom I seem to get is really bad belching and it feels like there is a lump in my throat, those were the same symptoms I had when I was diagnosed. I had the same symptom for about a month before i went in. Maybe once or twice did I get heartburn or get an acidic taste in my mouth. Like I wrote, it's been two weeks on the nexium and the belching is still present.
Avatar m tn 4 years ago Doctor did endoscopy , Ultrasconic scan and diagnosied for GERD.He have Nexium 40mg for a year.After i stopped nexium pain started appearing again.Another doctor did endoscopy again and now diagonised for atrophic Gastritis with intestinal metaplasia.pls somebody let me know how serious is this?
Avatar n tn Would recheck labs in 4 weeks or if symptoms worsen in meantime ask your doctor about the synthroid dosing. Long term use of meds like nexium may increase thyroid requirements, so the higher dose may work out well in that regard. Linda43 - the levothyroxine has a 7 day half life, meaning it takes a few weeks to get out of the system -- it would not still be there 2 years later though.
