A member asked:
Does dexilant (dexlansoprazole) 60 mg for 8 weeks interfere with food digestion? will it affect nutrients or electrolytes?
5 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
No,: it won't do any of that. What it does is simply to reduce the production of excess stomach acid. And excess stomach acid is harmful due to corrosive action on the stomach and esophagus. Take care.

It can in some part: As it obviously effects the acid secretion of your stomach. Some nutrients like iron, magnesium and vitamin B12 can be affected by medication such as these.

Reflux: Dexilant (dexlansoprazole) interfers with magnesium absorption. All proton Pump inhibitors block the production of Co Enzyme Q which is necessary for the mitochondria to function. I recommend taking a magnesium supplement as well as 200 mg of Coenzyme q daily
