Brief Answer:
take iladac- l and tablet topcid
Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for putting your query in hcm. Acidic salive may be due to reflux of acid from the stomach. Although you have been prescribed neksium it appears that the symptom is not resolving. So I will suggest you to take ilaprazole before breakfast as it is more potent and have less side effects than neksium. Also take one prokinetic agent like levosulpiride 75mg od before breakfast. There is combination of these two by name iladac-l which I found very useful in my patients. Also take tablet topcid 40mg od after dinner. I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. Wish you a good health
