Nexium Control 20 mg Capsules help manage conditions that may trigger heartburn and acid reflux by clicking on the following capsules.
Common antacid antacid-containing medications such as Maalox, Colophale, Nolvadex, and Gastro-Oral are usually well-tolerated. However, side effects may go away during treatment if they reduce your heartburn or acid reflux problems. If you experience any antacids containing esomeprazole 20 mg or antacids containing magnesium or aluminum, or antacids containing magnesium, discuss with your doctor how they may need to be taken before you can take any new medication.
Dr Fox provides free advice on antacid-containing medications, along with a Dr Fox prescription. If you decide to consult your GP for advice before taking any antacid or antacid-containing medication we suggest you to speak to a pharmacist or doctor.
Acid reflux (burned or hesitant to eat) is a medical condition in which your stomach acidoes out of your esophagus (the tube that connects your stomach to the neck). It can cause irritation or difficulty breathing, which can be severe enough to lead to heartburn (burn of your throat, your esophagus) and esophageal cancer. Symptoms of heartburn and acid reflux include pain in the chest, throat, or tongue, a tightness in the chest, and swallowing difficulties.
Other antacids containing magnesium or aluminum may also cause more severe symptoms. If you have been diagnosed with heartburn and acid reflux by your GP, try to relax and regain your confidence by taking a dose of Nexium Control 20 mg in the same way as you take a course of acetylsalicylic acid.
If you experience chest pain, neck, or shoulder pain during or after taking Nexium Control 20 mg, stop taking the medication and seek medical advice right away.
