Be honest my doctor says i can but can i take nexium 40mg the rest of my life and be healthy and safe been taking 12+ years its all that works?

All medication : All medications have risks. So no free lunch. However. I do not know your condition. You have been on nexium for a very long time and you are very young. So there are times when the benefit outweighs the risk. Safe. Not necessarily so but perhaps safer than the alternative
