...How is Nexium® given
NEXIUM is indicated to maintain symptom resolution and healing of erosive esophagitis.
Nexium (esomeprazole)
Helped a bit a first with symtoms but didn't relieve them completely. Nexium may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor. I was rushed to the hospital for what we thought was a heart attack. I am going back on my Nexium!
There may be other drugs not listed that can affect Nexium. I was scared to death my airway was going to swell shut.
Nexium and wait fo small cash value than his best room Nexium repeating strings of people or speak of things. Overdose Seek emergency medical attention. Safety and effectiveness for the treatment of symptomatic GERD in patients less than 12 years of age have not been established. The Nexium helped somewhat with my stomach issue, but the cost I paid wasn't worth it.

NECK PAIN!The did a Cervial Spine MRI "Normal"!He would cry and NO TEARS. I after that was put on 80mg per day due to the increased risk of me getting cancer of the esophagis. I felt a little lightheaded the first day. We are surprised about Barrett's esophagus syndrome being gone, we wonder if the initial diagnosis was correct. Another continuing study comparing Nexium to surgery has five-year followup information on patients.

...I was on Nexium, 40mg once/day for two days and then 40 mg twice/day for two days when I developed what I thought was one of my usual migraines. I read about the side effects of nexium and stopped taking it and started to feel a little better.
WARNING!! FYI: There is a SICK-O out there Saying horrible things to people that POST NEGATIVE REMARKS against NEXIUM. If you have a bad reaction to Nexium and have abdominal pain, don't expect your problems to resolve as soon as you stop. Before taking this medication, tell your doctor if you have ever had any type of liver disease.
Nexium is used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a condition in which backward flow of acid from the stomach causes heartburn and injury of the esophagus (food pipe between the mouth and stomach).
For many people, NEXIUM can also heal damage to the esophagus caused by acid reflux.

...Why is Nexium prescribed
Nexium - Side Effects & Drug Interactions
GERD is supported by a) extrapolation of results, already included in the currently approved labeling, from adequate and well-controlled studies that supported the approval of NEXIUM for adults, and b) safety and pharmacokinetic studies performed in adolescent patients. Inform your doctor if your condition persists or worsens.
With NEXIUM, most erosions heal in 4 to 8 weeks.

Nexium
Background: On May 29, 2007 AstraZeneca, the maker of Prilosec (omeprazole) and Nexium (esomeprazole), sent FDA data from two long-term studies in patients with severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) that were being treated with either Prilosec or Nexium. The trials included subjects with endoscopically confirmed, healed erosive esophagitis, and they evaluated Nexium 40 mg, 20 mg and 10 mg once-daily over six months of treatment. I started taking nexium about 5 months ago.
The weight gain has to be due to the Nexium as my activity level has actually gone up, Im very bloated around the abdomen and never usually have that problem.
Chemically, Nexium is very similar to omeprazole.
It should not be construed as containing specific instructions for any particular patient. Continue to take this medication for the prescribed length of treatment even if you are feeling better. Tried again, and after day 2 days I developed itch all over my body! I am still scratching. If you have trouble swallowing capsules, you can open the capsule and carefully pour the pellets onto one tablespoon of applesauce.

...drs. Do not take Nexium without first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby. These drugs can reduce your stomach acid to the point where you may not be able to obsorb the required amount of calcium to mantain healthy bones. Before my heartburn & acid reflux was so bad that I've actually went to the ER one night,because I thought I was having a heart attack which it wasn't just Chronic Heartburn & Acid Reflux from a small portion of bad eating habits and years of not realizing I was abusing over the counter drugs. Attach the syringe to the NG tube and push the plunger down to empty the syringe into the tube. After reading so many other people's symptoms, I hope that I don't develop any more than I already have. A drug doesn't affect a single organ in your body, it affects everything. I was having difficulty bending and even walking was painful. How Taken Nexium comes as a delayed-release (long-acting) capsule to take it orally. It works by decreasing the amount of acid made in the stomach. At week eight, healing rates were higher with Nexium treatment compared to omeprazole in all four studies. I continue to feel great, I have not felt l

...I have taken nexium for about 7yrs and about two weeks ago I ran out and didn't have the money to get more. I'm going to try homeopathic remedies along with taking this drug to see if I can quit Nexium someday. I QUIT A ALL PRESCRIPTIONS AND WENT ON HERBAL SUPPLEMENTS AND PSA HAS STABELIZED AT 6.

Nexium didn't completely relieve or control my heartburn and reflux. Hold the syringe with the tip up and check for granules remaining in the tip. After reading these postings I agree that this drug should be removed from the market. Before taking Nexium, tell your doctor if you have ever had any type of liver disease. I take other drugs which include hyzaar, xyzal and nasonex for allergies and until recently zocor and zetia which did produce side effects, but not the Nexium. NO SOLUTION TO MY SICKNESS YET BUT NEXIUM IS THE ONLY DRUG I TAKE.
Remember to use it at the same time each day.
So, I am sure to chew my food well and not to eat large portions. Nexium reduces gastric acid, allowing for bacteria to multiply in the digestive system. Taking pain meds etc the acid reflux came back so DR. Sometimes a feeling of indigestion/bloated, possibly due to low or no stomach acid as a result of a PPI. Controlled studies do not extend beyond 6 months.

Nexium has definitely help but I have also wanted to reduce my dependence on Nexium so am seeking alternative treatments as well.

The most common adverse events that were reported as possibly or probably related to NEXIUM were diarrhea (4. Swallow the capsules whole; do not split, chew, or crush them. By preventing high acidity in the stomach, it is theoretically possible that chronic use of this drug may lead to the Nexium side effect of a higher rate of gastrointestinal infections since not enough acid is available to kill germs in the stomach.

The studies were designed to assess the effectiveness of treatment with Prilosec, or Nexium, or surgery for severe GERD.

What seemed like a scary possible connection between the blockbuster heartburn drugs Nexium and Prilosec and heart attacks appears to be a false alarm, experts assure us. I saw an Ear, Nose & Throat specialist and an Ophthalmologist for the EYE PAIN and ruled out a Sinus Infection, Dry Eyes, Glaucoma, and a Brain Tumor. The new safety data was from two small long-term clinical studies in patients with severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). This is not as uncommon as u may like to think it would be.

Nexium Oral Overdose
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) where acid from the stomach escapes backwards into the gullet causing inflammation of the swallowing pipe (oesophagitis) and heartburn (a burning feeling rising from the stomach or lower chest up towards the neck). It took me about a month for the terrible side effects of Nexium to go away. After reading about the side effects, I've decided to stop using Nexium. Unfortunately this is a major side effect if you use these drugs on a long term basis.

Now I'm waiting for the Nexium-induced symptoms to clear up, appears it will be several days. " When u don't digest your food all the way, other health problems begin to occur eventually leading to stomach cancer and/or other serious conditions. I'm not sure if that means the Nexium effects last a lot longer than just the daily pill, or what. By blocking the enzyme, the production of acid is decreased, and this allows the stomach and esophagus to heal. They get some percentage of what they prescribe.

I tried my migraine medicine again and took twice the usual dosage in one day and the headache left for two hours and came back EVEN WORSE!! This was THE WORST HEADACHE I have ever had! I thought I would die with the pain behind my eyes and on top of my head in addition to neck pain. Breaking or opening the pill would cause too much of the drug to be released at one time.

...My doctor told me no one ever had swelling as a reaction to nexium, but you can. But not befor taking nexium 40 for 3 years. com
Nexium began to be used in 2001. my doctor cannot diagnose me with any difinative problem, I have been taking Nexium for nearly 2 years and keep getting odd stabbing pains in my head / neck which are very disconcerting - been also diagnosed 3 times with depression (partly because I think the doctors cant find anything wrong) I have been told by the doctor at least 10 times I cannot be having any side effects from Nexium, so I am now going to come off it having read all these reports on this and other sites. Although heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD, the condition is also often marked by other symptoms - such as a sour taste in the mouth or difficulty swallowing - related to the backing up of harsh stomach acid into the esophagus. Every effort has been made to ensure that the information provided by Cerner Multum, Inc. You may not be able to take Nexium, or you may require a dosage adjustment or special monitoring. Also called esomeprazole and esomeprazole magnesium. Controlled studies did not extend beyond six months. It's obviously different for everyone, and my advice would be read ALL or as many people's comments as you can so you can be prepared for what to possibly expect. A recent medical study confirmed my suspicion that these acid reducing drugs can cause ostioporosis. Symptoms of an Nexium overdose include confusion, headache, drowsiness, blurred vision, fast heartbeat, nausea, dry mouth, sweating, flushing, shortness of breath, tremor, loss of coordination, or seizure (convulsions).

Sometimes doctors put patients on medicines and do not reevaluate often enough whether the patient still needs the medicines. This effect is dose-related up to a daily dose of 20 to 40 mg and leads to inhibition of gastric acid secretion. With use of nexium beyond a few weeks, I begin to have aching joints: shoulder, elbow, knee, hip. They are also indicated for use with an antibiotic to treat gastric ulcers.
