Avatar f tn Yes Tums and if i remember pepto is what my ob said. Or the prescription nexium or the generic as i was prescribed the generic because my heartburn is so bad,i was actually sent to a Cardiologist because at first they thought it was my heart add the pain was so bad and constant. But do not take Tums all day everyday as too much can be dangerous.
Avatar f tn Is anyone out there taking Teva's version of Nexium? I'm to the point now where I can't get the brand. I was astonished to see that this generic version's co-pay through my insurance is so high! $80 for 90 days. I could understand this price for the brand, but for generic? Anyway, I had tried this version as I had to with my last insurance, it and I didn't do as well on it. I tried it for a week. I an wondering if it was just my imagination.

5079728 tn?1365549989 So any medication that you can go in and buy without a prescription is considered an over the counter medication. This would include every single med lined up on the shelves ..... pain killers, cough meds, diarrhea meds, nausea meds, stomach meds, anti-itching meds, everything. If I recall correctly, you have cirrhosis, so you really do have to be careful not to take anything that the doctor does not approve first.
Avatar n tn Personally, I like Nexium. I think it is a better drug. I have a drug plan and I have to take Prilosec. I can't even get the trade name, I have to take the generic. I took Nexium for a few years and I do think it worked better for me. I don't know about water brash, sorry.

Avatar f tn Anyone have experience with any over the counter depression medicine that works well?
Avatar f tn Yes nexium is ok to take, i hane cirrhosis and thats what my hepo ordered for me, he did switch me to prilosec only because its over the counter same as prevacid which is also ok.............
Avatar f tn For now, my gastrenterologist is treating me with over the counter Nexium (20mg/capsule) and said I could continue taking over the counter Beano and Simethicone (125mg chewable tablet) so that's what I've been doing. I've taken Nexium twice before (10 days for the first time in October 2019 and 4 days the second time 3 weeks ago) so I hope that I won't need a higher dose. I guess I still have gastritis even though the pain went away.
1569985 tn?1328247482 I developed around 8000+ PVCs a day after being on Nexium for several years. I cut back on it to save money, using a calcium/magnesium, over the counter antacid on daysI didn't take Nexium. I eventually weaned off Nexium, and to my great surprise my PVCs stopped. I had my heart monitored just to be sure, (before my regular treadmill stress test) and the cardiologist said there were no longer any PVCs at all.
Avatar m tn I think insurance companies are dropping many drugs because acceptable generic equivalents are available, as is the case with Nexium (Esomeprazole). The generic version of the drug will work very well for you. I'm betting you will be just fine. I wonder if you have considered discussing tapering off/discontinuing Nexium/Esomeprazole and see what happens. After having the Nissen Fundoplication surgery I was able to discontinue taking the drug and have been symptom free.
Avatar f tn The best medicines I have been prescribed are Nexium and Protonix. Protonix has a generic available so is inexpensive and works perfectly for me. Studies have shown Nexium to be consistently the most effective but it is more expensive and not always covered by every health insurance plan. United Healthcare for example does not cover Nexium.
Avatar f tn I started taking over-the-counter Nexium (esomeprazole magnesium 20mg/capsule) a few days ago and may be taking them for at least the next 2 weeks. My blood magnesium levels were low a few weeks ago and they just got back to normal right before I started taking the Nexium. I've been taking Naxium in the evening (4-5pm) at least an hour before having dinner.
Avatar m tn Step therapy Also referred to as a fail-first requirement, the step therapy restriction denies payment for a drug unless certain other drugs have been tried first. For example, the plan may cover a drug like esomeprazole (Nexium®) for heartburn only if the patient did not respond well to cheaper drugs. So a patient might first be treated with generic omeprazole (Prilosec®).

Avatar n tn A bit of news in today's paper: with the contaminated peanut butter pastes being using in so many foods, it seems it may be in some dog treats too. Could a treat cause some upset like this?

4371309 tn?1357956329 My Dr at Kaiser said that the OTC and the ones they prescribe are the same. I didn't argue with her since she has the degree and just bough some from the pharmacy. When ever your next visit is with your OB check with her/him.
