"I've been taking it over 20 years with no side effects, I think. I have only just read up on the bad side effects, and there are so many that I decided to come off them last week. It was a bad idea, so bad, I now have heartburn with vengeance, which shut me down for the day, and I needed a 60 mg dose to get it under control. So now I am still taking my 20 mg a day every morning."

"It does not work and is not the same as Nexium brand. Big difference."

"The dosage use of Nexium clearly states: 'This medicine is usually given for 4 to 8 weeks only. Your doctor may recommend a second course of treatment if you need additional healing time.' I do not understand some of the comments that state they have been using it for 20 years or 10 years!!! And then complain about secondary effects. I read the label, and it states '24 HR,' which is how long it lasts, but in very small letters: 'May take 1 to 4 days for full effect.' It also says, 'Treats frequent heartburn.' I will change my diet accordingly and use another heartburn chemical. By the way, meals prepared with ginger are very easy on the stomach."
