A member asked:

Can nexium (esomeprazole) cause nausea?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, and more...: ...But like any drug, it is important to know what pathology the drug is being used to treat (a better approach than just treating symptoms), and to decide if the benefits of the drug outweigh its side effects (realized and theoretical).
