What should I discuss with my healthcare provider before taking esomeprazole?
Heartburn is often confused with the first symptoms of a heart attack. Seek emergency medical attention if you have chest pain or heavy feeling, pain spreading to the arm or shoulder, nausea, sweating, and a general ill feeling.
You should not take this medication if you are allergic to esomeprazole or to any other benzimidazole medication such as albendazole (Albenza), or mebendazole (Vermox).

people with liver disease may need a lower dosage, PPI's should not be taken as maintenance treatment for duodenal Ulcers and is not recommended for the treatment of GERD beyond 8-16 weeks from there it goes right into side effects and drug interactions hope I have helped in some way
