A recent article in theNew England Journal of Medicinefound that an inexpensive and widely available over-the-counter drug, Nexium, may be able to help patients who have suffered from heartburn with acid reflux and other symptoms.1
The New England Journal of Medicine, the first to provide information about the potential side effects of a prescription drug, said it could help patients who have suffered from heartburn with acid reflux with stomach ulcers or acid reflux with other symptoms.
“Heartburn is a common complaint among patients who do not have heartburn,” wrote Dr. Susan J. Schafer, a leading gastroenterologist and author of a new report published in theJournal of the American Heart Association.
The article in thefound that patients with heartburn who were prescribed Nexium had a two to three times greater risk of developing the condition compared to those who had the drug alone.3
The study, which was funded by AstraZeneca, was published in the
The study, which involved 1,900 patients with heartburn and another 1,800 patients with a variety of symptoms, found that patients who had heartburn who used Nexium had a greater risk of developing the condition compared to those who had a placebo.
In other words, if you are prescribed Nexium and your heartburn symptoms are worsening and the acid reflux is causing you to have symptoms, you should be aware of the potential side effects and be careful about taking the drug with your meal.
“In fact, if you’re taking an over-the-counter medication like Nexium and you have heartburn, there is a possibility of experiencing heartburn with Nexium,” wrote Dr. Schafer.
“There is also a possibility of experiencing symptoms like bloating and abdominal pain, and may be a sign that Nexium may be associated with these symptoms.”
“If your doctor has recommended Nexium, you may want to talk to your doctor about whether you should continue taking this medication,” added Dr. Schafer, a leading gastroenterologist and author of the new report.
The study was funded by AstraZeneca and was published inThe Journal of the American Heart Association
