A member asked:
Is nexium considered antiacid? i have a test which requires no antiacids for 3 days, however, if i don't take it i get bad heartburn sometimes.

Nexium: is NOT an "antacid" TECHNICALLY but if a test REQUIRES that stomach acid be present then NEXIUM which stops the RELEASE of that acid should not be used! Ask the performing physician/laboratory...and explain your "problem" Hope this is helpful Dr Z
