Dexilant Information:
Dexilant (generic name: Dexlansoprazole) is a drug which is prescribed for the treatment of heartburn caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and to heal erosive esophagitis (damage to the esophagus from stomach acid). Dexlansoprazole is in a group of drugs called proton pump inhibitors. Dexlansoprazole decreases the amount of acid produced in the stomach. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a condition in which the stomach contents (food or liquid) leak backwards from the stomach into the esophagus (the tube from the mouth to the stomach). Symptoms of the disease include heartburn, chest pain and feeling like you might vomit. GERD affects many people and it can be triggered by various things such as certain types of food, medications and obesity. GERD is more common in patients with diabetes or who are overweight.
Dexilant Side Effects:
As with any drug, there may be side effects from taking Dexilant including nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, gas, diarrhea, and cold symptoms. More serious side effects may include chest pain, fast or pounding heartbeat, severe stomach pain, worsening heartburn and low magnesium levels. If you experience any side effects you must seek immediate medical attention for safety.
Dexilant Directions:
You should follow the instructions of the doctor who prescribed it you, and there will also be dosage and information on the pack. Dexilant comes in capsule form and can be taken with or without food. Dexilant should be taken with a full glass of water. Do not crush, break or chew Dexilant as this could cause too much of the drug to be released at once which could have undesirable effects. Dexilant should be stored at room temperature away from direct light and heat.
Dexilant Precautions:
If you are allergic to any of the ingredients of Dexilant you should not take it, and should inform your doctor. You must consult your doctor if you have any pre-existing medical conditions, including any kind of digestive disorder or condition. You should consult your doctor if you are taking any other medications, as they may interact with Dexilant including ampicillin, atazanavir, clopidogrel, digoxin, iron, ketoconazole, tacrolimus, blood thinners and diuretics.
