Q: my infant has to take 20 mg of nexium a day. 20mg= ?
my little girl has to take 20 mg of nexium a day. 10 mg in the morning and 10 mg at night. Im wondering how do I measure 10 mg in a medicine cup or dropper. does 10 mg = tsp or something that can be measured? thanks

A: 10 mg. of liquid depends on the dosage of your medication. It should say on the bottle how many mg per ML, which is a measurement for liquid, and this can be converted into teaspoons, i.e. it takes approximately 2 tsp. to equal 10 milliliters of medication. That means two droppers (5ml each) of medication for each dose, which seems like a LOT. Also, I was advised by a doctor that Nexium for children can affect the absorption of nutrients – my son has acid reflux and I noticed him getting skinnier and pale, he was anemic even though he ate good foods, it turned out the Nexium was preventing not only acid from forming in the stomach but also preventing food from being digested at all, leaving it to pass through his system without him getting the nutrients from it. Be careful and do your research on that! Best of luck, and here is an online conversion site for future reference:

Q: I am allergic to penicillin can i take nexium esomeprazole 20mg?
I am allergic to penicillin can i take nexium esomeprazole 20 mg? I have read the website but am confused about if this product contains penicillin. I live in korea and don’t speak the language here has anyone else had this question?

A: Nexium is a proton pump inhibitior which means it blocks the stomach secretion of acid. It is not an antibiotic and contains no penicillin, so you are okay.

Q: Does the same prescription medicine cost different at different pharmacies? ?
Example: A prescription for Nexium 20 mg will cost, say, $35 in CVS and in Duane Reade–for the same medicine/dose–it costs $50.00.

A: Well, you answered your own question. Yes. There are price differences according to the pharmacy used. Some of these are due to the size of the store or chain. A chain like CVS is going to buy more Nexium for all its stores than a little mom & pop pharmacy. Because they by more, they get a better price from the pharmaceutical company that makes it. To get the cheapest price look into getting a 3 month script from your doctor and check out a mail order outlet. They usually have the best prices. Of course, this may not be possible with narcotics.

Q: Psyllium husk Before taking Nexium 10 mins b4 (Breakfast)?
I am 20 years old and had an ENDOSCOPY 2 days back. I’ve been diagnosed with Small Hiatus Hernia and prescribed NEXIUM 40 MG 10 MINS BEFORE BREAKFAST, PEPCID 20 MG BEDTIME….I am having constipation now…..WHen shall I eat Psyllium husk before taking NEXUIM or at bedtime after PEPCID , coz I know it’ll help me….And can I eat MC’VITIES DIGESTIVE biscuits????Please do reply!

A: The point of nexium is to prevent the acid reflux from happening in the first place. Therefore it will make sense to take nexium half an hour before a meal so that the drug can get into your body first so that when you eat your meal, the amount of acid would be reduced.

Your doctor instructed nexium in the morning which is fine. If your heart burn is worst at night, take it half hour before dinner. Nexium blocks the acid pump, therefore prevents acid from being pumped into your stomach. Pepcid blocks histamine which serves as a signal to pump acid into your stomach. Nexium is far superior to Pepcid and your body can become tolerant to pepcid over time (reversable when stopped though).

Now for constipation. Psillium will help with constipation only if you drink enough water with it. The additional bulk in your gut helps stimulate your intestines to move. However, if you don’t drink enough water it will do the opposite and cause CONSTIPATION. Psillium can be used as anti-diarrheal or constipating agent depending on the amount of water you consume.

To answer your question, Psyllium is best taken with breakfast and yes, you can have the biscuits.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

A: First, anxiety and stress will not lead you anywhere. Although you are young and have this problem, the best way to beat it is to relax and think positively.

Think it this way: what if you didn’t diagnose this problem in time? It would become huge, wouldn’t it? So, fortunately you know what you have, and you’re taking all the precautions to stay healthy and with less problems. So, go on like this and enjoy your life. Nothing comes with “cloudy thoughts”.

It’s true what your doctors suggested you that this chest pain is mostly from your anxiety and stress.
Enjoy your long-way life and take the right precautions and live for long time until God has decided the right time for you as for all of us. One day we will go, but we must enjoy the gift our God send us: Our Life!

Q: Do I have any other options for migraine preventatives?
I am a 25 year old female that has suffered from migraines since the age of 15. I have been on several medications over the years to control the migraines. I finally found a successful preventative medication and have been on it since 2007.My only preventative is Verapamil 240 mg twice daily. My doctor tried me on 240 mg three times daily but it was causing my blood pressure to drop too much. My abortive medication is the 6 mg Imitrex injection and Ultram for pain.

List of preventatives tried and failed:
Topamax
Depakote
Zanaflex
Magnesium supplements
Klonipin
Cardizem LA
Zonegran
Namenda
Keppra
oxyen therapy

Health Conditions:
Asthma
Severe indoor and outdoor allergies
Hypertension
High cholesterol
Depression
Anxiety
Sciatica

Medication allergies:
Sulfa antibiotics
tricyclic antidepressants
SNRI medications
Ergotamine medications

Current medications and doses
Trazodone 100 mg daily for sleep
Celexa 40 mg daily for depression/anxiety

Flexeril 10 mg three times daily for muscle spasms
daily multivitamin
daily fish oil
Imitrex injection 6 mg as needed for migraine
Ultram 50 mg if needed
Nexium 20 mg daily

The problem I am having now is the return of daily headaches with severe migraines about once a week. And they are not rebound headaches. I have had experience with those before and I don’t care to repeat that. I am only taking pain medication and abortive medication about once a week so I can try to keep from experiencing rebound headaches.I also suffer from a TMJ disorder and wear an NTI device at night. I just had it refitted at the dentist so I know that teeth grinding is not causin the headaches. I keep a daily pain journal, a daily headache log, and a food log so I cazn avoid my trigger foods. Do I have any options left that I may be able to try for PREVENTATIVES that I can discuss with my doctor at my appointment at the end of next month?

A: You’ve tried every med on earth!.
You can try natural (herbal) treatment. Read http://natural-migraine.blogspot.com/
Herbs for headaches are variously anti-inflamatory, antispasmodic, anti-nausea and pain-relieving. Those that treat migraine also help rebalance the circulation.

Q: What to eat Before Lipid Profile Test?
Tomorrow in the morning I have to go for a LIPID PROFILE TEST….I am only 20 years old and feel alot of discomfort in my chest..Had an ECG 3 months back and it was normal…I was experiencing PALPITAIONS but later on I was diagnosed with ANXIETY by a GASTROENTEROLOGIST…He kept me on NEXIUM 20 MG before breakfast, concor 2.5mg ( 1 tablet after breakfast for 1.5 months only ), Librax 2 times daily and Rivotril 0.5 mg at bedtime…..I ate these medicines for around 3 months coz on and off I was experiencing some problem with my digestion process….Sumtimes HEARTBURN, CHEST DISCOMFORT, DYSENTERY, etc…..14 days back My GASTROENTEROLOGIST asked me to stop taking all the medications and visit him on 10-11-09….I am having alot of chest discomfort wid heartburn and all….I am not taking any medicine….So I have decided to go for an LIPID PROFILE just to make sure my HEART is working fine and there is no cholesterol problem wid me… So wanted to know what do I have to eat before going for the test….I asked the pathologist and he said that 12-14 hours of fasting is required for a LIPID PROFILE test…I’ll b going 2morrow in the morning…So what should I eat in my dinner today…..Please reply asap

A: Staying away from fatty foods the night before will give you a better result.
You should be fasting for 12hrs before getting your blood drawn. It is ok
to drink water. At your age anxiety is the likely culprit. Even if you had
high cholesterol, your young heart would not have disease.

Q: medicine reactions?
I am taking ultram 200 mg once a day with 800 mg skelatin 1 a day, singular 20mg -and 300mg wellbutrin XL, nexium 20 mg, and asocal 2400mg a day, and I was also added onto prednisone 60mg a day and then a decongestant and an antibiotic. Whats bothering me is I am very hungry all the time, and the most annoying side effect is rapid heart beat. NOT TO mention that the pain med is not helping my injured back. The other meds are for asthma, allergies, sinus infection, and
antidepressant. I am due to return to work from vacation on the 2nd, but I don’t think its going to go to easy. I feel bloated, and nervious, and drugged…. not to mention I have a headache with all this..(must be the infection) can anyone tell me if its too much meds? can this be whats causing the
dizziness, palpatations, etc? what would you do?

A: I can tell you that the Prednisone is why you are hungry all the time. I was on it a short time for my back injury and gained about 10 pounds. As for the dizziness and headache, that could be a reaction to many of those meds, or if you are being treated for sinus or ear infections they could also be a culprit. Best thing to do is call you Doctor and let him decide what is going on. The rapid heartbeat is more of a concern. Call the pharmacy, or on that is open 24 hours and ask for the pharmacist. He could give you info on that and help you decide if you need to be seen right away or not. Hope you feel better soon!

Q: I’ve been constipated for 3 days…..Please Help!?
I’ve been on many medicines since 8 months which include, NEXIUM, LIBRAX, PEPCID etc…….I’ve been taking LIBRAX 2 times daily and NEXIUM 20 MG daily for the past 2 months. I;ve been constipated for 3 days now…I am dizzy…Bloated.I am feeling I am might die….Please help….My endoscopy showed SMALL HIATUS HERNIA and MODERATE PERISTALSIS but NORMAL DUODENUM. Please help!

A: Hi,
This is the best one and only,for constipation,you wont hear it from many doctors because a lot of them don’t know this simple solution,they will just keep prescribing you the same old crap.Natural food high in magnesium,which draws water to the bowel,thats what you need. The best for this is peanuts!!!!!!!Hot chocolate is another with high magnesium.I researched this problem for a long time with which my 2 year old suffered immensely, and it started to create psychological problems,she began to fear needing to go to the toilet.This worked for her,and I know it has for others.Handful of peanuts a day keeps the doctor away.

Q: Please help. I am waking up about 15-30 minutes after falling asleep choking every night?
I wake up every night with a feeling that something is stuck in my throat, and usually wake up choking. This only happens once in the initial 30 mins of sleep then I have no problem for the rest of the night. I have noticed that this only happens when I fall into a deep sleep. If I sleep lightly this does not happen. Sometimes I also wake up feeling like I am about to pass out with my heart racing also within the inital 15-30 mins of deep sleep. I am taking nexium 20 mg daily for reflux. Does this condition sound familiar? Thanks in advance.

A: It may be sleep apnea. I have that. You should bring this up with your doctor; your doctor will be able to refer you to a sleep clinic where they will hook all sorts of little electrodes all over your body, and then observe you sleep. then they’ll probably give you a cpap machine. i have one of those. i never could sleep with it on.

i bought a couple of wedge pillows. those help tremendously because the weight of my chest isn’t pressing down on me so much. you may want to try one.

(hahaha – in the middle of the night when they were doing my sleep study I kept hearing them call my name. when i woke up enough to understand that they were calling me, i realized i was face down in the electrode box and they were trying to get me to roll over. haha)

Q: Is Nexium bad over time?
I’m 16 and I take Nexium because I have very bad stomach problems Acid Reflux, Upset Stomach, ect. I don’t have any ulcers so the doctor prescribed me this the dosage is 20 mg I haven’t had any problems with it yet but could it be bad over a long period of time I am supposed to take it forever.

A: I don’t think there is any long term side effects. I have never taken it but I do take Prilosec everyday and have for years. The only side effect I get from it is bloating.

You could ask your doctor about it but I think he would switch you to something else if there were long term effects.

The side effects can’t be as bad as the reflux….man it’s awful!

Q: Dentists or even better Periodontists Please Answer?
First of all I have Lupus and a demyelinating condition that has given me Autonomic Nervous System Failure. Due to this condition I severe gastric reflux while on a safe diet and no alcohol. Without Nexium I bring up literally cupfuls of gastric acid each day. On Nexium 40mg I am not absorbing enough calcium to stop my jaw from locking shut and pulling my jaw sideways. On 20 mg Nexium my jaw functions normally yet I still bring up acid. My teeth have turned yellow because the enamel is wearing off from the acid despite having always bee a good flosser and brusher. My dentist of 23 years ( I am 42 )
says I’ve kept him poor until now. Which brings me to my question:

CAN I still have periodontitis on 2 of my back teeth if my dentist tells me (and of course I know myself ) I don’t have gingivitis anywhere??? Two of my back teeth are loose and on xray the ligaments that are meant to hold them in on one of them are not visible. OR is it the CLENCHING alone has loosened my teeth?

A: Yes there is something called localised periodontitis

Q: Librax or Prokinetic ( Cinitapride )???? Please Suggest….?
I’ve been taking 20 MG NEXIUM once daily and 2 Librax daily. I;ve been constipated….Uggh…..i’ve been visitng a GASTROENTEROLOGIST for around 7 months but after getting the same mediciation prescribed from him I visited another Gastroenterologist. He gave me CIDINE ( Cinitapride ) 1mg 3 tablets daily and LANSOPRAZOLE 30 mg twice daily….Am consfused….am constipated….am having severe chest pain…am having headache…..what shall I do…which doc to follow…

I also had an ENDOSCOPY 4 months back and it showed SMALL HIATUS HERNIA, MODERATE PERISTALSIS but Normal Duodenum.

Please suggest….Dont post any link and make a mixup….

A: try eating healthy and drinking water

Q: What can cause a fasting blood sugar of only 63, if nothing has been found to be wrong w/you medically?
This is after 12 hours of fasting. I am 35 years old and slightly overweight (need to lose 20 pounds and working on it). There is no history of diabetes on either side of my family. I take Dilantin 100 mg twice daily; Synthroid 0.25 mg daily; and Nexium 40 mg daily. One thing, though: me and my dad’s side of the family love to eat candy such as Red Hots and Bit-O-Honey. I am on Weight Watchers, but I work such candy in every single day. Maybe my pancreas produces too much insulin in response to eating sweets? Every other medical problem has been ruled out. Also, recently, I had a random blood sugar done right after I ate pancakes with syrup and orange juice, and my blood sugar was only in the lower 90s.

A: I don’t understand the concern unless your doctor is concerned. Usually there is no concern over a fasting blood sugar unless it is below 40 mg/dL…and you are quite a bit higher than 40 mg/dL. While most labs consider a normal fasting blood sugar to be 70 to 100 mg/dL, a low result often isn’t an issue unless it drops below 40 mg/DL.

As to what can cause a low fasting blood sugar:
hypothyroidism
malnutrition
diabetic medication
liver disease
kidney failure
pituitary gland tumor
Addison’s disease

Q: ankle swelling think it may be fluid retention?
ok so i am writing this for my mom. she has very bad swelling of her ankles and has done the 10 second test where you press your finger on it for 10 seconds and then if it leaves an indention there is fluid there. She is on 20 mg Lasix and it is not working. She also has had sodium tests done and levels seem to be normal. She also takes 2mg of resperdole. She has also had a restless leg sydrome test and that was not it. She also takes 750 mg of depakote and 10 mg lipitore and 10 mg nexium and 150 mg of Zantac. Could it be a combination of all the diff meds? We have narrowed down that the cause is resperdole or coffee yet she needs both of these to function. Also it occurs on AND off feet. What should she do? Thank you everyone who answers.
btw she is 52
She is in Mental health care jackass….

A: You’ve described an attack I had of gout which is the result of too much rich food.which combined with relative inactivity might be the cause.
