Nexium (Esomeprazole Magnesium) and/or alternatives

General Information on Nexium

Nexium (Esomeprazole) belongs to the category of drugs that act as proton pump inhibitors. Patients suffering from gastro esophageal reflux disease, peptic ulcers, dyspepsia, gastrinomas, erosive esophagitis, and other similar conditions are recommended to buy Nexium. The drug works by reducing the production of acid in the stomach. It relieves heartburn, which is a common condition experienced by people all over the world. Coughing, a sour taste in the mouth, and difficulty swallowing are other symptoms that are alleviated with the help of this drug.

Nexium Side Effects

Nexium may trigger some side effects due to an overdose or use of the drug for the treatment of conditions other than those listed by medical experts. The serious side effects associated with the drug include difficulty in breathing, swelling on the face or in the throat area, headaches, constipation, diarrhea, and pain in the abdomen.

Less severe or rare Nexium side effects include nausea, dizziness, and dry mouth. Allergic reactions accompanied by rashes and itching too are rarely reported side effects of the drug. You must also take note of fever, chills, chest pain, abnormal heart rate, urine with atypical color, and tiredness that may arise after you start using the drug. In case any of these signs appear, you must stop the medication immediately and discuss the issue with your doctor.

Precautions

You must inform your doctor if you have had any liver disorder before taking Nexium. Patients suffering from hypomagnesemia (low level of magnesium in the blood) and any type of allergy should report the same to the doctor. The same rule applies to pregnant and nursing women as well. It is important to keep the medication away from the reach of children and pets. Dispose off the expired medication with care. Nexium should never be stored on or near damp surfaces. Make sure that you use the drug only for the recommended time length. Buy Nexium only from reputed and reliable mail order contracted pharmacies.

Nexium Dosage

Nexium 20 mg and Nexium 40 mg are the recommended daily dose for patients, depending on the severity of their respective problems. Nexium 10 mg is prescribed for children below 11 years of age. In general, the drug is given for up to 8 weeks. The drug is available in different forms such as a delayed-release capsule, delayed-release oral suspension, and injection. You must consult the doctor when it comes to choosing the most suitable way of drug administration. Nexium in capsule form must be taken at least an hour before meals and with one glass of water. In case you miss a dose, take it if there is enough time left for the next dose or avoid it otherwise. Contact your local poison center if you have overdosed on the medication.

Nexium Interactions

Nexium is capable of interacting with many prescribed and non-prescribed drugs. You must inform your doctor if you are already using any other medication, especially Digoxin, Ketoconazole, Diazepam, Warfarin, and iron and vitamin supplements. Antifungal drugs, diuretics, and protease inhibitors can lead to devastating results if Nexium interacts with them. You must also discuss your dietary habits with your doctor to learn about any possible interaction of the drug with food.
