Is there any problems with being on Nexium long term. I have GERD and have had a stomach ulcer. The doc has taken me off the Nexium after 2 months and put me on Antepsin but after a few days my heart burn has come back. He says that there is a possibility that longer use will increase the chances of further GERD prblems in the future.
Do you have any comments?
Hi there,
I was on Nexium for approx 2yrs and various other medication for 3yrs prior to that. I was always told by my Doctor that there were no long term affects, although i must say i have since had the operation and it has made such a difference, if your Doctor is offering you the chance to have this operation then i would reccomend you take it.

Thanks for your reply. I am not sure what your surgery was? Was it for a Hiatus Hernia?
