Been taking nexium 40mg over 10+ years its all that works and i get reflux bad if not taken just scared of everything the internet is saying about ppi?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
PPI: Please ask you doctor to help you taper off of Nexium. Ask him / her about replacing it w/something natural such as GDL, which is licorice capsules w/an enzyme taken out of it so that it does not raise your BP. Peace and good health.
