"Best for curing H. pylori "Nexium 20mg" half hour before breakfast and half hour before dinner also my doctor suggested me to use Frisium only at night time before sleep. Within 2 days I start feeling better and I used it for 1 month but Frisium I only took for one week."

"I don't usually write reviews but I think this will help someone out there. Nexium nearly finished me!!! 3 months of palpitations (high blood flow and high pulse rate) as if my heart will shut down the next minute. Can't sleep except aided by music. Can't sleep on my left side. Went for several ECGs (which always revealed trachycardia) then finally Echocardiogram which was quite revealing. Heart is okay but something keeps triggering my complaints. Doctor placed me on meds and ultimately by God's grace I'm okay now. If I sight this drug anywhere I will run"

"I hadn't realised that Nexium caused terrible headaches until I did a bit of research. The headaches started when I was being treated for HP and also on the days I took Nexium for stomach acid. The deal breaker was having to spend an entire day in bed (and a day off work) with such a painful headache I couldn't function. No over the counter pain relief helped with the pain, just sleeping it off. I throwing it in the bin and letting my GP know how I reacted!"

"I have tried other PPIs all have bad side effects. Nexium is ok with no side effects until now however different makes from different countries make the drug not always effective."

"Being on this medicine for the first 5 days was hard, felt sicker then ever with symptoms of mild diarrhea, some hives, worst nausea, fatigue. This started to improve day 6. After being on it for a week am almost back to normal. Felt like the drugs had to work on the H.Pylori, then the body had to work on getting the drug out of the body."
