Kapidex (dexlansoprazole) for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease: While taking Kapidex I had severe itching all over my body. Palms of my hands, ears, throat and groin area.I was completely miserable while on this medication. As far as for helping my GERD I had to take OTC Prilosec along with the Kapidex to completely get rid of the GERD. This is not for me.

Kapidex (dexlansoprazole) for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease: I suffer from migraines, and although this drug significantly reduced my acid, it seemed to trigger my migraines for four consecutive days. I am disappointed that I had to get off it, am trying Prilosec now.

Kapidex (dexlansoprazole) for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease: 3 months of Protonix did nothing, after taking Kapidex, I noticed improvement within 2 weeks and most symptoms gone after 5 weeks.

Kapidex (dexlansoprazole) for Erosive Esophagitis: Had acid reflux. I lost my voice from it for 6 weeks, went to ear-nose-throat doctor. Got Nexium, which gave extreme headaches as a side effect. Another doctor gave me 30 free samples of KAPIDEX 60MG. I got no headaches. Took 1 pill and my voice is returning to normal. Good product. Doctor may give Pepcid AC or 300 mg of Zantac if your insurance doesn't cover it.

Kapidex (dexlansoprazole) for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease: Kapidex has worked better than Nexium, Protonix, Zegerid, Prevacid, and Aciphex in controlling my GERD symptoms. It is great because you only take one per day.

Kapidex (dexlansoprazole) for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease: I was diagnosed with severe GERD and Barrett's Disease several months ago. I tried everything and nothing seemed to work until now. Kapidex has been amazing. I have had no side-effects and at my last gastroscope, everything was looking A LOT better. Kapidex, along with following GERD food guidelines has made me feel 100% better.

Kapidex (dexlansoprazole) for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease: This seems to work as well as Nexium 40MG. Actually no reflux so far with this product. Very happy. Only downside is Medicare codes it tier 3, high copay.

Kapidex (dexlansoprazole) for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease: After finally getting around to reading about the possible side effects, I now know why I am having a major acne breakout, also nausea and very loose stools. I don't know what else I can do, but this medicine is not for me.

dexlansoprazole for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease: I've been through all of the proton pump inhibitors. This was my last hope before resorting to surgery. Took about 10 days to kick in, but this stuff works.

dexlansoprazole for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease: I have used everything for my gastroesophageal reflux disease and esophageal spasms and nothing worked fully except for Nexium. So if you have really bad GERD I would say stick with Nexium.

Kapidex (dexlansoprazole) for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease: Definitely I recommend Kapidex. My digestion is normal and my life have been improved. Nexium works for me but too slow.

Kapidex (dexlansoprazole) for Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease: I currently have been diagnosised with GERD, chronic gastritis, and esophagitis. I have been taking 2 Protonix 40 mg a for 2 years and started taking Zantac 150 mg twice a day work 2 months now. That is 4 pills daily. My Gastroenterologist put me on Kapidex for a month now. I have not had any problems so far. I cannot see inside my body to see if it works but hey if it can take me from 4 pills a day to only 1 I will take it. The only thing is the cost.
