Nexium
HEALTH INFORMATION:
Nexium is a prescription pill that's prescribed by doctors for the treatment of acid reflux disease. It works by shutting off tiny acid pumps in your stomach. Clinical studies have shown that Nexium has the ability to provide up to 24 hours of relief, and heal esophagus damage in 9 out of 10 patients!
Nexium How To Take
Follow the directions for using Nexium provided by your doctor. Swallow Nexium WHOLE. DO NOT chew or crush the Nexium capsule. Take Nexium at least 1 hour before a meal, unless otherwise directed by your doctor. If you have problems swallowing capsules, you may open the Nexium capsule and sprinkle the contents on 1 tablespoon of applesauce. Mix the medicine with the applesauce and swallow immediately. The applesauce should not be hot and should be soft enough to swallow without chewing. Discard any uneaten applesauce/medicine mixture. Nexium may be taken with antacids if your doctor has instructed you to take antacids.
Nexium Side Effects
Nexium side effects that may go away during treatment include headache, constipation, cough, or diarrhea. If they continue or are bothersome, check with your doctor. Contact your doctor IMMEDIATELY if you experience throat pain, chest pain, severe stomach pain, or coffee-ground vomit. An allergic reaction to Nexium is unlikely, but seek immediate medical attention if it occurs. Symptoms of an allergic reaction to Nexium include rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, trouble breathing. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist.
