Esomeprazole Magnesium
Generic NameEsomeprazole magnesium is better known for its brand name: Nexium. This is an Antacid/proton Pump inhibitor. It is used in the relief of heartburn and the other symptoms associated with Gastrorsophageal Reflux disease (GERD). Another condition associated with GERD is Erosive Esophagitis, which is the frequent regurgitation of acid and Peptic juices from the stomach that causes ulcers. It is also used in conjunction with Amoxicillin and Clarithromycin, for the treatment of Helicobacter Pylori infection, for Duodenal ulcers. Heartburn is a very common illness with people today, and the best-known symptom is GERD. The patients may know this as simply a sour taste in the mouth or just difficulty in swallowing, but it is related to the stomach acid in the Esophagus. Acid reflux may damage the lining of the Esophagus and this can lead to ulcers. How it works
By blocking the action of a specific enzyme, Esomeprazole blocks the action in the cells that line the stomach, and lowering the production of acid. This helps the ulcer to heal. Do not double your dosage if you miss a turn. Simply go onto the next one. Always stick strictly to the dosage period prescribed by your doctor. Do not stop taking the drug just because you think you feel better. Let the drug run the full course of the treatment. Unless advised by your Doctor, it is not advisable to take Esomeprazole Magnesium over a long period of time. You should seek advice for regular tests and examinations. The over 60’s
There have never been any recorded problems with people over 60. Driving and Working dangerous machinery
It is not advisable to drive or engage in any hazardous activities until you are confident you have come to terms with the agreed dosage, and how it effects you. AlcoholThe taking of any alcohol may aggravate an ulcer. Also it is never a good idea to mix medication with alcohol. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
Although there are no known problems with taking this drug during pregnancy, it is advisable you consult a heath professional first before involving yourself in the treatment. Especially if planning a family. In many cases, a doctor will weigh the benefits to the mother against the small dangers it might pose. There is no known danger of Erythromycin topical being passed through breast milk, or deformities in babies. But it has been detected in breast milk. Children Tests have not shown any problems with children under 18, but many doctors would rule against it until there are better results. OverdosesThere have been no known reported cases of an overdose with Esomeprazole Magnesium. However some patients have expressed concern with side effects. These can be from drowsiness, dry mouth, confusion, profuse sweating, to flushing of the face, headache, nausea, blurred vision, unusually rapid heartbeat and even palpitations. If any of these symptoms show up in you or anyone taking the drug, seek medical help at once. Taking with other Drugs
