A member asked:
For acid reflux can you overdose by taking nexium (esomeprazole) 40mg 4 or 5 times a day i have heart burn and only get temporary relief by taking tums and nexium (esomeprazole)

Yes: This is far outside of the normal dosing range and is not recommended or studied at these doses. I would advise you to see your md to hone in further on the source of your severe heartburn.
