User Reviews for Dexilant oral

I read all the reviews but none addressed my problem with Dexilant. The drug worked well as far as getting rid of the stomach acid but I developed severe diarrea. Had to stop the taking it but the Nexium has the same side effect after only taking it for about 1 week.

Frequent yellowish stools

My reflux is so bad that the scar tissue has to be dialted once a year. I was on Acidphex but this works better. I am so pleased with the results -- no more supplementing with TUMS. As far as weight gain goes -- maybe its because we can actually enjoy eating again!

I had an allergic reaction which caused my lips to swell and my face to itch

To Leese, yes, eye swelling is a side effect of this drug. I am experiencing severe tremors in my hands and forearms. Has anyone else had this as a side effect?

I have only taken this for a week, but it worked from the first day I used it. I haven't had any side effects at all. I'll find out how expensive it is soon since the samples the doctor gave me will run out next week.

Dexilant has worked very well for me with very few side effects experienced by OTC drugs. I have been using this for a year at 60 MG dose. Perhaps a bit of weight gain but I am more concerned by joint aches and stiffness which I think may be caused by this drug, although I have not seen anyone else with this complaint.

I was taking Nexium for 3 years and it worked. Now Aetna wont pay for it and I was forced to go on OTC or Dexilant. I have developed a chronic cough. Gas, achy muscles. Has anyone else had a severe cough with this. I have been sent to specialists, gastro and allergy. Now battery of other tests. I think it is the Dexilant. The insurance companies want to save money and place us on cheap imitations......so I guess until my MD finds out why I am having so many problems.....it will cost the insurance company even more for all these tests. I am going to stop it for a week and try basic acid reducers over counter. Help......Read More Read Less

I am reviewing this medication for my husband. He has gotten better relief with less side effects than other meds he has taken for his GERD. In response to reviews about weight gain: if your digestive system is feeling better, possibly you are eating more food. Just a thought. Recently my husband developed profuse sweating followed by chills. He has never had this before. I noticed one other reviewer who mentioned hot flashes. This could be related to the medication.

Has anyone been experience eye pressure taking this medication? My vision has been weird and it feels like there is alot of pressure behind my eyes, otherwise it works fine, but if this keeps up I am going to have to stop it.

no side effects that i know of any.

I am beginning to experience no relief from this medicine. it has worked very well up to 1 week ago. now it doesn't seem to be doing the job. i am having t take antacids inhe afternoon. i take my meds in the evening before diner.

I have suffered from uncontrollable Gerd since age 8. Protonix worked, and some other proton pump inhibitor medications but they cost a great deal of money. My doctor recently suggested Dexilant to me and gave me some samples. I was shocked that it immediately began working and I only have to take 1 pill a day. Usually, I was taking 6 150mg Zantacs a day to see any results, which is very risky. Dexilant works. Its great.

Although I'm feeling better than I have felt in years, I have gained 5 lbs. since starting the prescription 3 months ago. It's not listed as a side effect, but it's very upsetting not knowing if or when the weight gain will stop.

I have definitely experienced weight gain with this product.

I have tried other meds for Gerd, non compares to the way this works for me.

Excellent results. Too bad it costs so much. Triggered the brand name deductible portion on my insurance.
