Nexium

Drug Uses

Nexium is used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a condition in which backward flow of acid from the stomach causes heartburn and injury of the esophagus (food pipe between the mouth and stomach). Nexium is used to treat the symptoms of GERD, allow the esophagus to heal, and prevent further damage to the esophagus. It is also used with other medications to prevent stomach ulcers. Nexium is in a class of medications called proton pump inhibitors. It works by decreasing the amount of acid made in the stomach.

How Taken

Nexium comes as a delayed-release (long-acting) capsule to take it orally. It is usually taken once a day at least one hour before a meal. To help you remember to take Nexium, take it around the same time every day. Swallow the capsules whole; do not split, chew, or crush them. If you cannot swallow the capsule, put one tablespoon of cool, soft applesauce in an empty bowl. Open one Nexium capsule and carefully sprinkle the pellets onto the applesauce. Mix the pellets with the applesauce, and swallow the entire tablespoonful of the applesauce and pellet mixture immediately. Do not chew the pellets in the applesauce. Do not save the pellets and applesauce for later use.

Warnings/Precautions

Before taking Nexium, tell your doctor if you have ever had any type of liver disease. You may not be able to take Nexium, or you may require a dosage adjustment or special monitoring. Nexium is in the FDA pregnancy category B. This means that it is unlikely to harm an unborn baby. Do not take Nexium without first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant. It is not known whether Nexium passes into breast milk. Do not take Nexium without first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby. Serious and occasionally fatal hypersensitivity (anaphylactic) reactions have been reported in patients on penicillin therapy. These reactions are more apt to occur if you have a history of penicillin hypersensitivity and/or a history of sensitivity to multiple allergens. Pseudo membranous colitis has been reported with nearly all antibacterial agents, including clarithromycin and amoxicillin, and may range in severity from mild to life threatening. Therefore, it is important to consider this diagnosis in patients who present with diarrhea subsequent to the administration of antibacterial agents.

Missed Dose

Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take only your next regularly scheduled dose. Do not take a double dose of this medication unless otherwise directed by your doctor.

Possible Side Effects

Nexium side effects that may go away during treatment include headache, constipation, cough, or diarrhea. If they continue or are bothersome, check with your doctor. Contact your doctor IMMEDIATELY if you experience throat pain, chest pain, severe stomach pain, or coffee-ground vomit. An allergic reaction to Nexium is unlikely, but seek immediate medical attention if it occurs. Symptoms of an allergic reaction to Nexium include rash, itching, swelling, dizziness, trouble breathing. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist.

Storage

Store at 25°C (77°F); excursions permitted to 15 - 30°C (59 - 86°F). Keep container tightly closed. Dispense in a tight container if the product package is subdivided.

Overdose

Seek emergency medical attention. Symptoms of Nexium overdose include drowsiness, shortness of breath, tremor, loss of coordination, and seizures.

More Information

Some medicines or medical conditions may interact with Nexium. Notify your pharmacist or doctor of all prescription and over-the-counter medicine that you are taking. Talk to your doctor and pharmacist before taking any prescription or over-the-counter medicines.

Candida Cleanse Diet - What And What Not To Eat

Filed under: Candida, Control Your IBS, IBS & Stress — admin @ 5:24 pm

Learn here what foods to eat on a Candida cleanse diet, and, what foods you must not eat. But learning what foods to eat on a Candida cleanse diet isn’t enough on its own. Find out what more you need to do to quickly cure your nasty Candida once and for all.

IMPORTANCE OF YOUR DIET
Many women don’t realise just how important a healthy, well-balanced, diet is in reducing the risk of Candida, and, when seeking a cure if you already have a Candida infection.

Many women, perhaps like you, have been taking; either prescription or over-the-counter medication, for your Candida infection only to find that it isn’t clearing up, or, it clears up only to keep coming back.

There are several reasons for this and your diet is one of the most important of them.

FOODS TO AVOID ON A CANDIDA CLEANSE DIET

Basically, foods to avoid on a Candida cleanse diet are foods containing high levels of sugar, salt, uric acid, steroids, antibiotics, carbohydrates, yeast, wheat, cow’s milk, preservatives, artificial flavourings.

This means food such as; sugar, artificial sweeteners, red meats, fruit (fresh, canned, dried), honey, syrups, potatoes, sweet potatoes, mushrooms, carrots, parsnips, legumes, processed meats, bread, cereals, pasta, pizzas, peas, beans, cheeses, milk, buttermilk, cream, margarine, peanuts, other nuts, vinegar, pickled food, alcohol, coffee, etc.

Now, obviously, it would be almost impossible to completely avoid all these, and, you wouldn’t want to anyway since many contain other elements that are good for you. That’s why you have to prepare a dietary plan very carefully, and then stick to it.

FOODS TO EAT ON A CANDIDA CLEANSE DIET

Food to eat on a Candida cleanse diet must be high in protein and good fats, but very low in carbohydrates. The idea is to “starve” the yeast which is causing your infection, while at the same time building up your immune levels and therefore the “friendly” bacteria in your body to kill-off the infection.

Foods you can eat on a Candida cleanse diet are; organic chicken, organic red meat (small quantities), fish (better if oily fish), organic sheep and goat’s milk dairy products, whole grain flour bread, oats, sprouted pulses / beans, extra virgin olive oil, coconut and palm oil, most fresh vegetables, grapefruit, apples, lemons, limes, walnuts, brazil nuts, hazelnuts, pepper, fresh herbs, garlic.

For drinking; try to stick to mineral water and herbal tea infusions.

NORMAL EVERYDAY TREATMENT

Normal treatment that you get from your doctor or over-the-counter generally consists of creams, lotions, tablets and so on, which are generally drug-based. Although these can work well enough at the beginning, over time they can prove to be ineffective.

This happens because in a sense they only attack the symptoms and not the root cause of your infection. In addition, the Candida can build up a resistance to the drugs over time rendering them useless. The result? Your infection just keeps coming back.

What this can mean is that even though you know what foods to eat on a Candida cleanse diet, the chances are that if you also stick with drug-based therapies, you may still have some problems in getting rid of your infection permanently.

What is called for then is a completely natural treatment and cure, from start to finish.

A COMPLETELY NATURAL TREATMENT AND CURE

The best way to get rid of your Candida is through a completely natural approach that doesn’t depend on drugs for a good outcome. This is what more and more frustrated women are now doing.

Many women around the world have found that, by using this proven method, they have at last completely cured their Candida and are feeling much healthier with much more energy to enjoy their lives to the full again. They also report complete relief from their Candida in as little as 12 hours.
