nexium

Avatar n tn I would give your dog Pepcid rather than Nexium. Pepcid has been proven safe and effective for dogs and is available over the counter. A large dog can have a full human dose.
Avatar m tn I was wondering if anyone has ever tried Nexium (for over acid production). I infrequently have stomach pain, pop a nexium, and its like a magic bullet. Not only cures the pain, but I have the best dreams and generally well being feeling. I was thinking that the stress of life leads to acid production and that the nexium fixes (tricks) the brain into thinking more positive thoughts or whatever, thereby stopping the cycle of stress and acid production. Anyway, it really works well for me.
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 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. I called my Ins. co and they said that the do not send papers out that they do not pay for brands. How can I resolved this problem? thank you mary This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/1329224'>Nexium and Prilosec</a>.
Avatar f tn Is Nexium ok to take if you have Hep C? This is an Rx for 40 mg. I know we need to be extremely careful with meds. If not Nexium, which acid-reflux med is ok to use? Thanks!
Avatar f tn Hello, I am 16 turning 17 in May. I started taking Nexium in 2013 in August. I have a severe case of Acid Reflux. My esophagus is mildly burned. I have no ulcers. Ever since I was 5 I had acid reflux disease for years we couldn't figure it out neither could my mom she just thought I had bad morning stomach aches until she became an EMT paramedic in 2010, ever since she figured it out we've been looking for medicine to help.

Avatar f tn My Dr believed I had gastritis related to Naproxen. I was treated for 30 days with losec, no real improvement and then 30 days with Nexium and not much improvement. My symptoms has lessened, but not gone completely away. I have been under a fair amount of stress this year for various reasons and I'm also a big worrier at the best of times, so I believe that is contributing. I was lucky enough to get into see a gastroenterologist yesterday. The next appointment was in October!
Avatar f tn s leaking/dripping and gushing urine. He was taking a medicine for two weeks previously for gerd called esomeprezole (nexium) which was causing him to be incredibly thirsty drinking huge amounts. We stopped themedicine and the thirst is better but incontinence remains. We've had multiple tests, urine, blood, diabetes, MRI, ultrasound all normal. The drs are baffled! I'm at this moment in hospital awaiting a urilogy Dr on monday .
Avatar n tn In late November (during period of intense stress from approaching Law School finals and other life worries) I got some recurring sharp pains in the evening accompainied by a general sense of weakness that after a few hours led me to go to the emergency room. My tests came back o.k.: EKG, enzyms, chest x-ray. They told me it was atypical chest pain that was stress related and that I should just rest and eat properly. I was freaked out for a few days after that.
Avatar f tn I apologize in advance for the long post but I want to give the full details in hopes of finding some answers. Back in December, I finally broke down and had an upper endoscopy done. I had been suffering with difficulty swallowing for nearly two years, but had been terrified of the endoscopy and convinced myself the trouble swallowing was anxiety related. I was diagnosed with Grade 2 esophagitis and gastritis, as well as an esophageal ulcer and 2 stomach ulcers.
Avatar n tn Since then I have been on various rounds of antibiotics, prednisone, cough syrups, singular, symbicort, albuterol etc. I had been treated at the allergy clinic years before for allergies and asthma. I have had to take about 8 days of 10mg prednisone about 4 -5 times in the last 8 months. It is about the only thing that helps my coughing and spitting up of phlegm.
Avatar m tn 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. that if there was a natural disaster in my area, I would grab my Nexium and my cat and flee. That is how important this medication is to me.
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.
1328913 tn?1279179246 im only on nexium for my gastric reflux. and no i havnt seen a phyc because im struggling to belive it anxiety related, id love to rule it down to anxiety but it causes so many symptoms how do you know its not something else?? im scared as hell at the moment.
Avatar f tn t taken Nexium and the last week started taking Metamucil. I am now worse than when I was taking Nexium. I am extremely tired and don't know what else to do. I have maybe 1 night each week where I sleep until 6am, but that is nowhere near my normal of 8 or 9am. I have been under a lot of stress at work since March and I know that can flare up symptoms of bowel disease, but at this point I think I need to see a Gastroenterologist due to my PCP not really taking this seriously.
Avatar m tn I've been taking 40mg of Nexium for over 10 years which was prescribed by my Hep Doctor....No problems no worries.
Avatar f tn Has anyone ever had any success using probiotics for acid reflux and if so, which one should I try? I’ve been taking the prescription form of Nexium for a long time now and lately it doesn’t seem to be helping.
Avatar m tn I lost 65 lbs. and have no reflux for about 6 mos. I would like to stop Nexium forever. I realize I may have to take something in place of it. I take 40mg daily of nexium daily. I was having acid attacks even with the Nexium, alway at night when sleeping. I have the wedge, extra pillows etc. Garvistan, Tums next to my bed. I once asked Dr. when could I stop Nexium he said I would need to lose weight. I have low iron, low B levels. Thinning hair etc. I already have spinal stenosis.
Avatar f tn I have been undergoing a battery of test to determine if I am a candidate for surgery to correct the issue. My last test is on Thursday this week - the PH Bravo Probe. I was told I had to stop all med 5-7 days prior to the test. I did and now after only 24 hours I am in extreme pain. Can I take Tums or Rolaids in the meantime to help some until the test is over?
Avatar n tn I have acid reflex ... I've been taking Nexium for about 5 yrs and was taking Prilosec prior for a number of years. Lately I've noticed that my spine is making a noise when I move while I'm setting down. I read that Nexium interfers with the obsorption of drugs and vitamins, therefore diminishing the availability of calcium entering the system to support the bone structure.
Avatar m tn I was diagnosed with a mildly incompetent L.E.S., Minimal GERD and minimal Gastritis. My plan is/was to use Nexium for the 1-3 months that is recommended in order to "heal". During this time I will be sticking to a strict GERD diet (I've been on it for a week, so I know I can force myself to do it). What is my plan missing? Should I take the pill once or twice a day? Should I start out with 1, move up to 2, and then ween myself back down to 1 as the 3 month point nears?
Avatar f tn I have been on Nexium for 4 years I just stopped taking It only because my medicaid no longer covers It. And I just started doing reserch on the Nexium because of medical issues I have came down with since I been on Nexium. I have eye problems with very blurred vision. Bone and joint pain, had MRI And It showed buldging disk in my neck a bad disk in my upper back,And my spine is full of bone spurs. I came down with all of this just since I been on the Nexium . Oh!
