Question 1

i'm taking nexium (esomeprazole) and bentyl (dicyclomine). i see a small rash/hives on forehead but nowhere else on body, no other signs. how likely is this allergy?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: If the rash is localized it is more likely something you came in contact with. If the rash becomes more widespread or if you develop any swelling, particularly in your throat or have problems breathing, be assessed. If necessary call emergency transport. All the best.

Question 2

i am taking esomeprazole and have a rast blood test for nasal allergies will it interfere with blood test? my ent never mentioned he knew i took it

Accepted Answer

No: Most drugs you take would not affect the RAST test. By the way, RAST is outdated and has been replaced by ImmunoCap IgE.

Nexium (esomeprazole) Side effects: Per Drugs.Com - weight loss or weight gain are possible side effects with nexium (esomeprazole).

Question 6

can antibiotics cause gastritis and dosage of nexium (esomeprazole) to treat it?

Accepted Answer

No: Antibiotics don't cause gastritis although some are harder on stomach than others. Erythromycin &amp; clindamycin are known to be especially harsh on gut, former w/nausea &amp; vomiting while latter w/diarrhea (although all are known to cause C diff diarrhea).There's no specific dose of Nexium (esomeprazole) or any other proton pump inhibitor to treat side effects.

Question 7

can taking nexium (esomeprazole) for severe heartburn long term cause other problems?

Accepted Answer

Well... maybe: There are considerations on several:
lower bone density because calcium desolves in acid... no acid, less calcium gets in, less bones.
Increased risk of pneumonia (some of it comes from stomach germs going down the wrong way and if no stomach acid more germs)
but there's not a lot of evidence for these to be big risks.

Question 8

It should not.: There are some cases of worsening of abdominal pain/cramping after taking nexium (esomeprazole).But if the pain is all over or worsening, go to the urgent care or er right away. Notify your dr as well. Avoid caffeine, soda, alcohol, spicy foods etc.
Hope u feel better!

Question 10

is there a drug most beneficial for treating gastritis?on nexium (esomeprazole) for reflux/cough for 3 mos which went away but now have mild gastritis. nexium (esomeprazole) cause?

Accepted Answer

Gastritis: Nexium (esomeprazole) is quite effective treatment for gastritis and it generally causes healing after only a few weeks in most cases unless there is achlorhydria(lack of stomach acid) from the beginning. I'm not aware of nexium (esomeprazole) or ppi's causing cases of classic gastritis. A gastroenterologist is best qualified to evaluate you for diagnosis and treatment. A gastroscopy may be done if the diagnosis is in doubt
