I've been taking nexium 40mg bid for almost two years. they prescribed it for reflux and ulcers. the smell of the pill makes me sick. but it works.

Yes. My wife had to take it twice a day, (40 mg. x 2) for sores on her esophagus. It worked great, until her insurance company decided they wouldn't cover it anymore, so now she can't take it, ( the cost is astronomical). Now she is back to hurting again. We just love HUGE, PROFITABLE insurance companies!

Yes, but I would worry about it being used for a year. The typical amount of time should be 4 to 8 weeks...then re-evaluated by MD. Due to the expense...many insurance companies won't cover Nexium. How does the company make any sales I wonder. You would think they would decrease the price so that insurance would cover it. Nobody is going to pay out of pocket either. Prilosec is a good and very cheap alternative!!!!

Yes, for terrible reflux, indigestion, and vomiting. But only needed it for less than a month. Prilosec is a good and cheap alternative.
