Heartburn and acid reflux!.

No harm done!. Double check with the pharmacist for drug interactions between this and the other meds you are taking!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Right, you 'accidentally' took it!.

It's a pill for acid reflux, so if it's what you're wondering, NO it's not going to hurt you because you took just one!. Google and Wikipedia are also helpful if you're wanting to know what a medication is for, and of course don't ever take pills that were not prescribed to you either!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Nexium is an acid blocker which works for about a day, and it reduces stomach acid!. It can interact with certain other drugs, so you might want to check with your health care provider to make sure you are OK!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You'll be fine, that's just an acid-reliever for your stomach!. Like the OTC Zantac or Pepcid-but stronger, does a couple other things too-don't worry, one won't hurt ya!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Gastric relux usually - rather like an ulcer of the stomach!. It shouldn't do any harm!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It is for Heartburn and you will be fine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
