| I was given Nexium last week for GERD. I developed a sudden backache that lasted for 4 days-- until I put two and two together and stopped taking it after reading the enclosed pamphlet. I believe there is definitely a connection with Nexium and the terrible backache. Unfortunately, it worked really well for my severe substernum pain coming from GERD (acid reflux). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| barrettes isa pre-cancerous condition of the oesophagus, cause by acid reflux over a period of time. The Somac tabs help by decreasing amt of acid produced and thus (hopefully!) preventing cancer of the oesph, which is pretty ghastly. SO important to have reflux conditions diagnosed properly. One of my bro's died of this cancer and it was shocking. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi tash, What is Barrette's oesophagus? sstephens2342 |

| I was prescribed this a few yrs ago, until diagnosed with Barrette's oesophagus and now on Somac, which controls the acid but with no side-effects like Nexium which made me feel very light-headed and nauseous. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| That's odd rushcdau, Nexium is prescribed for reflux and stomach ulcers. I have just started on it a week ago for reflux and after 3 days of nausea, I feel fine. It has helped me like nothing else has. |

| Am very interested in anyone with side effects of Nexium. Husband has been prescribed this 6 months now, 40mg a day. The drug has worked exceptionally well but side effects become too intolerable. Research on effects have been eye opener and explains much of further problems experienced. Am searching for natural remedies here and other net sites. This forum link I shall add at the bottom of my post shocked me to say the least and many side effects reported here my husband has suffered, headaches, backache, joint pain, burning sore feet, nausea, and on and on more side effects appeared. Has ceased the drug with some, not all side effects dispersing, slowly. Several opinions from different GP's have all given the go ahead as Nexium being a "safe very effective with minimul side effects drug". I do not believe this.This drug should be banned? Views, experiences, good and bad much appreciated. http://www.askapatient.com/viewrating.asp?drug=211 53&name=NEXIUM |
