Q: Are there any known long term negative effects of nexium...... i have been taking over 4 years ?
Jack, I hope that you receive an answer to your question. The doctor just announced that because of Barrett's, I will need to take Nexium for life. I've seen that Nexium is generally given for 4 or 8 weeks, and sometimes 4 additional weeks. When I read about liver concerns, it does make me wonder. But Barrett's is a serious concern as well, with cancer a possibility. This is why I hope you learn something about Nexium's long term effects on both the conditon as well as the liver and overall health. I'll be looking for answers... Richard
