nexium

Avatar f tn That's terrible! I would search for any lawsuits against the manufacturer of Fosamax for injury like this resulting on facial bone loss and tooth loss. Seems to be me they should pay for any corrective dental or medical treatment and pay compensation for pain and suffering. I've read negative things about this drug and it's ironic that it is advertised as preventing bone loss, and yet it accelerates it.
Avatar f tn I have been having really bad heartburn and a burning feeling in my stomach. I was told to take Nexium but I have a severe allergy to penicillin. My question is, can I take nexium if I'm allergic to penicillin?
Avatar m tn Prilosec, Nexium Side Effects: Acid Reflux Medication Heart Attack Class Action Lawsuit Investigation A recent study found that proton pump inhibitor heartburn treatments such as Nexium, Prilosec and Prevacid may be linked to an increased risk of heart attack, heart failure or sudden cardiac death.

Avatar f tn There are other things that are safe to take during pregnancy for heartburn and the doctor is a doctor for a reason. I deff say listen. I wouldn't wanna find out any known risks either. Do u really know what a class c drug means?? Just because it says that u think its safe? I would rethink that. Good luck to you.
Avatar f tn So Prilosec and Nexium fall into the class of proton pump inhibitors. Do not self prescribe and I would suggest you to follow up with a gastroenterologist for a proper diagnosis and for titration of the dosage for you. Take care!
Avatar n tn my brother-in-law has cancer of the esophagus and his doctor said it could have been from the drug that he was taking and the drug was nexium. have you heard about this link of anti-acid medication to cancer?

No drug can be a miracle drug, as I am sure your away, but it sure helps, especially with a new baby and coping with new stressors. Again, congrats on bringing a beautiful new life into the world!
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn I DID NOT TAKE THIS DRUG ANYMORE. THESE CLASS OF DRUGS SHUT THE PUMPS IN YOUR STOMACHE DOWN SO MUCH THAT YOUR STOMACHE DOES NOT KNOW WHO TO WORK ANYMORE ON ITS OWN WITHOUT THESE DRUGS. TRY TAKING 1 TLB OF VINIGER IN THE MORNING AND ONE AND NIGHT AND SEE IF THIS HELPS. I HAVE ALLERGIES ALSO AND HAVE RECENTLY STARTED TAKING SHOTS FOR THEM. SEEMS TO HELP SOMEWHAT BUT I STILL HAVE PROBLEMS WITH MY THROAT ON AND OFF. I WOULD STOP THE VERAMYST BECAUSE WHAT I HAVE READ ABOUT THE SIDE EFFECTS.
Avatar f tn My dr prescriped nexium for me. It is a miracle worker. Nothing over the counter woukd work for me. It was terrible. Nexium was a life saver. I dont have heartburn at all now. You can actually buy it over the counter now too i think, its pricey, but definitely worth the money.
Avatar f tn Im currently taking omeprazole 40mg a day and i need to stop its rated a class C for pregnancy. However when i stopped before i had horrendous heartburn i was so miserable i was prescribed zantac but that didnt work. I am also prescribed lorezapam 0.5mg but have only been taking a half a day. I know thats VERY BAD TO USE. I dont have any problem with quitting that just have to find ways to calm my anxiety. But my omperazole i am. Has anyone stopped or took omperazole pregnant?
Avatar f tn t dare to say which drug is the culprit in your case. With eliminating all, the doctor wants to confirm if drug toxicity exists. If lab results will improve, I believe you'll be allowed to start with Nexium...
Avatar m tn i am about to start taking nexium again which they kept me off of during treatment . i heard nexium can make your viral load go sky high . can a drug or bad eating bring you back from non detectible to having the virus ? I dont drink or do narcotic drugs . am i just being paranoid . doctor says its ok to take the nexium . i saw this guy floydd wright on youtube who says do not take nexium if you have hep c . has anyone heard of nexium being dangerous to induce hep c ?
Avatar n tn I have taken Nexium for many many years for many of them twice each day. I have also gained almost 40 pounds. I have talked to friends lately that have said they just started taking Nexium and in very short times have gained weight. One women gained 15 and on man gained 20 in less than two months. Weight is not the only reason I want to stop taking Nexium. I have read that it also causes bone loss, chest pain, liver problems and can effect the heat.
Avatar f tn Agreeing with Tashka, Nexium and others in the PPI class of drugs are routinely prescribed to HCV patients— Bill
Avatar m tn They stated that this is because they have a policy that any drug that has an equivilent OTC will not be covered. Can you believe it! I need to some good references and examples of medical appeal letters. I had a Nissin back in 2004 for hiatal hernia and have taken 2 40mg Nexium a day since. I have a slight scarred esophagus and only occasional breakthrough at night.My ergo-temperpedic bed has been a blessing for my occasional breakthrough acid reflux at night. I have joked with my Dr.
Avatar m tn Some drug companies will supply the drug for those who can't afford it. Find out who makes nexium, and contact them It sounds like you really need the nexium, and should make it a priority. Ask your Dr for samples, also. The sooner you start taking it the sooner you will feel better. May even help the night sweats, who knows. Just get the med!
