What is Reflux?
Reflux is the backflow of acid from the stomach into the gullet (“foodpipe”) which may become inflamed and painful. This may cause you symptoms such as a painful sensation in the chest rising up to your throat (heartburn) and a sour taste in the mouth (acid regurgitation).
Do I get instant relief from taking a Nexium tablet?
Nexium Control is not meant to bring immediate relief. You may need to take the tablets for 2-3 days in a row before you feel better. You must talk to a doctor if you do not feel better or if you feel worse after 14 days.
How much to take• The recommended dose is one tablet a day. • Do not take more than this recommended dose of one tablet (20 mg) a day, even if you don’t feel an improvement immediately. • You may need to take the tablets for 2 or 3 days in a row before your reflux symptoms (for example, heartburn and acid regurgitation) get better. • The treatment length is up to 14 days. • When your reflux symptoms have completely gone you should stop taking this medicine. • If your reflux symptoms get worse or do not improve after taking this medicine for 14 days in a row, you should consult a doctor. If you have persistent or longstanding, frequently recurring symptoms even after treatment with this medicine, you should contact your doctor. Taking this medicine • You can take your tablet at any time of the day either with food or on an empty stomach. • Swallow your tablet whole with half a glass of water. Do not chew or crush the tablet. This is because the tablet contains coated pellets, which stop the medicine from being broken down by the acid in your stomach. It is important not to damage the pellets.
Alternative method of taking this medicine• Put the tablet in a glass of still (non-fizzy) water. Do not use any other liquids. • Stir until the tablet breaks up (the mixture will not be clear) then drink the mixture straight away or within 30 minutes. Always stir the mixture just before drinking it. • To make sure that you have drunk all of the medicine, rinse the glass very well with half a glass of water and drink it. The solid pieces contain the medicine – do not chew or crush them

I'm wondering how long the effects of the medication last? I'm thinking maybe I should take the medication for the rest of the time. Any advice/support would be helpful.
A.Well, I've read in a few threads on medical forums that people stop taking the drug for a short time after taking Nexium.
I think I may be right.
If I remember correctly, the medication was taken for a year and I take about once every 3 months, but it didn't work for me. I have to take it for a few years to take the medication is over, but it's been 2 years now and I'm not sure I'll take it again.
Any help would be very appreciated!
My GP has been thinking about taking Nexium for about 6 months after taking it.
I'm worried about the medication not working for the rest of the time.
I've been taking it for about 6 months now and I'm not tired. The only thing that's working is I can take it every time I need to take it, but the effects are still felt a little bit. I just have to take it the same time each day and I'm not sure if it helps or not.
Can you tell me more about that?
I took it for 6 months to start to feel better. I'm also worried if I take the medication for the rest of the time.
The effect was noticeable a bit more than I thought. I think I might have to take it for a long time.
I haven't taken it for a while, but now I've been taking it for about 3 years and I can feel it working. I've also been feeling it for about 2 months now, but nothing has changed.
I'm sure you know that you're not taking a medication for this long.
Thank you for your question!
I've noticed that I don't feel the difference from before. I was a bit worried at first, but now I feel more and more confident and less tired than I used to.
I think I'll take the medication the same time each day
But I'm worried, because I have anxiety and panic attacks and it's so common that I don't know if it's due to the medication or something else. I also have some anxiety and panic attacks and I'm worried if they do. So I guess I'll just take it as a constant daily thing.
So far so good.
Nexium is a prescription medication, not an over-the-counter drug. There are plenty of natural alternatives to Nexium that can help with pain and inflammation in the body. Most of them are very safe.
For a long time I was taking it for a year to help with migraines and have had relief with no side effects.
I've been taking it for about 6 months to help with migraines and have been very happy with how I feel and how I feel on it.
I don't think you need to stop taking it every day, though, I've been on it for several months and I can feel it working for a few weeks. I just want to take it the same time every day and I'm not worried about it.
Thanks for your question!
I've been taking it for about 6 months and I've been feeling better. I've also started to get better at things like smoking and I think I may have to take it a little longer.
I've also had a bit of a change in the way I feel. I haven't been feeling very well in a few weeks and I'm not sure if it's due to the medication or something else.
