A member asked:
If on nexium (esomeprazole) 40 mg 2x a day - can i take tums daily to to prevent further issues with the esophagus ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: akin to putting out a hotel fire with a glass of water. the problem is not "run of the mill" acid reflux if 80mg daily nexium (esomeprazole) is ineffective. A gastroenterologist must be consulted for further testing. Once the problem is identified, an effective solution will be applied. If left untreated, serious acute damage to the esophagus or stomach may ensue and the risk of developing cancer increases.
