Hey everyone.. I got a question....Does anyone take Nexium for the stomach acid/gas/heartburn that you get after surgery ? I take pepcid 2 times a day and I dont feel it's working because I am constantly burping whether I eat or drink. My doctor said I can switch to Nexium. Does anyone else take Nexium ? If so what do you think of it ? Does it really help get rid of the acid/gas or at least keep it at a min. ? Any advice is appreciated.

I take Nexium 2x/day (am and pm) and Zantac 2 (300mg) at night. I tried Prilosec and Nexium seems to work so much better for me, it costs more because it doesn't come in generic form yet.

Also, not sure, but I think you can take the pepcid,  an acid blocker, and a nexium or prilosec, which are PPI's together if you need to. They both help with acid, but in different ways. Check with your doc though.

I take the Nexium in powdered form....mix in small amount of water each AM.
Requested a pill version ( I take lots of other meds so pills are no problems) but the surgeon would rather I stay on the powder.
Really helps allot!!!!

 Nexium has helped me alot use to take 1 in the morning and 1 at night to deter acid reflux now I only take 1 at night. Here is a link to find out if you can get it cheaper. It worked for me I used to pay $50 a month but with this card I only pay $25. Heres the link
