Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have bee on Nexium for about 10 years. I do take magnesium supplements. I get my medications through Expresscripts and they tell me the price of the Nexium is going to be much higher for me in the future. I am also worried about sic=de effects. I was on a dosage of two pills per day, but have lowered my usage to one every other day. I am also 85 years old. I wish to remove all Nexium from my use. Your recommendations please.
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. Nexium is having pantoprazole. It is antacid in nature. It is not habit forming drug so no need to worry for withdrawal symptoms. If you are change your dietary habits, you will cannot definitely stop Nexium. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm. Go for walking after meals. Take sound sleep of 6-8 hours. Don't worry, if you follow all these, you won't need Nexium. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
