Husband given prescription in ER this evening for Nexium. We can't decide if it's safe to buy this particular drug. Eight years ago, I contracted CHF from taking a diabetic medicine called Avandia. We are doubly cautious, and know we have the right to know the real truth about Nexium. Can you help?
Q: I've heard reports that Nexium has serious side effects, not known until recently. Iw this true?

Hello,
Ask the pharmacist to give you a copy of the FDA drug safety information about Nexium. It is a good idea to tell the doctor all of the medications you are taking to make sure there isn't a drug interaction when you are starting a new medication.
