Pharmacy - nexium dosage
========================

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Expert: Dr Alan Galbraith - 5/12/2006

Question
I was in to see the doctor today and had a scope but down my throat.
The doctor took pictures of several locations and said that I had
several small ulcers in the stomic and esophigas.  He told me to take
40mg NEXIUM tabs 2 times a day 30 minuits before meals. When I got
home I read the patient information and it said 1 tab daily 1 hour
before meals. My question which do I follow the Doctor or the printed
info that came with NEXIUM.
Thank You
Debra

Answer
Dear DJ Bauer

It does not really matter whether the tabs are taken 1h or 30 minutes
before a meal. Do whatever is most convenient but it is preferable to
use either ie always 1h or always 30 min.

Occasionally the dose is doubled for short periods of no longer than 7
days and the the dose is decreased to as said on the package insert. I
would do what your doctor prescribed but if you are taking the tablets
like this for more than 7 days, check with your prescriber.

Regards

Dr Alan Galbraith
