Re: Nexium dosage

[Guest guest]

Nexium can be taken twice a day, even as high as two pills twice a day if need be. The important thing is to titrate up the dosage until you are heartburn/pain free basically.

Hi

For me the Nexium just didn't work. So I now use Prilosec and it works so much better for me. You can get your Doctor to prescribe it and then your insurance will pay for it. It is a generic and it cost less that way vs. buying the OTC Prilosce.

Or just buy one box of the OTC and see if it works better for you. Hugs, Suzanne

Got them in mexico so I can't read the directions. For those of you that nexium didn't work for, does this sound familiar?

I currently take 40 mg. of prilosec a day. Can you take whole pills after you

are sleeved? What about vitamins. My multi & calcium are nothing short of

horsepills. Vitamin D is small. Do you just quit taking them until you are

healed? What about daily medications? Any info would be appreciated. THanks!

I'm only 19 days out!!!

Mouse:

I have osteoporosis, so not taking calcium isn't an option for me. I bought a

pill-crusher at Rite-Aid and now crush my 2 calcium tablets and 1 multivitamin

into a greek yogurt that I eat daily.

I found a terrific liquid vitamin. I'm 16 months out and I still can't handle

" horse " pills. I never had a problem with smaller pills tho - even at the very

beginning.

Hi,

Yes, you can take the prilosec 40 mg, but you may not have a need for that much. For multi & Calcium. Try a chewable Vitiamin and chewable calcium. You should take you daily medication and check with your own doctor as you start losing weight. The doctor may run a blood panel on you and take you off some of your meds that you will not need. How I got my medication down because it was hard for me to swallow was to mash it into a power and put it in about 2 tablespoons of applesauce and that is how I took my medication for awhile, until I could swallow it on my own. I hope that helps.

Hugs,

Suzanne

For the first few weeks I disolved a nexium mumps is water.  After about three weeks I could swallow it whole.  For vitamines I use a chewable, a gummie and a liquid, all purchased from costco.  I bought all three pre surgery to see which one worked best for me, all are ok so I just mix it up.  Meds can be broke on halves or quarters and.swallowed pretty easily
