4 | morning sickness | No serious side effect | I have morning sickness--I take 1 60 MG table in the morning--It helps relieve symptons-- | M | 84 | 3 months 60 1X day | 1/17/2017 | 1 | Hiatus Hernia causing severe Reflux | An hour after taking the capsule, whole body felt very strange, Pulse rate went up to over 80 (normally 65) Awful migraine, Gas build up in the large colon is painful. Felt very sick so took a slice of Ginger to chew which helped. Now, 6 hours later feel totally spaced out with pressure across the chest, sneezing, GIT Pains, very loose stool. | This was recommended to me by a doctor after he wanted to give me Pantoprazole 40 MG. My experience with Pantoprazole over years has been bad but this Dexilant is even worse. Nightmares with muscle and bone pains make sleep almost impossible. Today is my 2nd and last day of taking this product. | M | 78 | 2 days 60 MG 1X day | 7/15/2018 | 2 | Esophagus inflammation | Stomach pain | Can't tell if it's working on my lower esophagus because of stomach pain | M | 76 | 17 days 60mg | 12/8/2017 | 1 | because I have GERD | My blood pressure is increasing and a symptoms of asthma which i did not experience when i don't take Dexilant. | F | 76 | 10 days once a day | 9/7/2013 | 1 | Acid reflux | My father may very well die as a result of this drug. The complete assault on his being is incomprehensible. May not recover. | This drug needs further investigation. Take off the market. Do not take. | M | 76 | 1 weeks 30 mg | 4/23/2016 | 4 | Gastritis | Tiredness | 75 | 0 days 60 | 7/6/2017 | 2 | GERD | Extreme muscle aches. Worked well for a few days but symptoms came back. Feel weak and aches unbearable. Nausea came back & acid reflux. | Not sure what this is from but feel worse. | 74 | 10 days 30 MG | 3/22/2019 | 5 | Esophageal Reflux | No side effects whatsoever that I can tell. | I was changed from Prilosec to Dexilant because of being put on a blood thinner. Evidently Dexilant is time released. So far working great. | F | 73 | 6 months 60 MG 1X day | 5/22/2014 | 3 | Achalasia gerd | I have taken this medicine for several years for Achalasia and acid reflux. The first GI Dr told me to take it before my biggest meal of my he day and the last one said no! Take it in the am and it costs your stomach. Diarrhea has been a possible side effect from this medication. | F | 72 | 100 days 20mg | 2/5/2020 | 3 | Gerd | Dizzy, dry mouth, nausea, constipation, headache | Started taking this drug for acid reflux. I started on 30 mg and after a while it didn’t help so my gastroenterologist increased the dosage to 60 mg. This helped for a while but again my dr wanted to increase to 90 mg. I refused to take 90 mg. I’ve been trying to ween myself off this drug for so long and just can’t seem to succeed. I hate it and wish I had never started taking it. Trying to adjust my diet and that helps a bit but still taking 30 mg daily. I think the pharmaceutical companies make sure you will not be able to do without it. Very frustratung | F | 72 | 5 years 60 mg 1X day | 11/6/2020 | 2 | GERD | Rash, itching, depression, anxiety, trouble sleeping | It worked great for the GERD but the side effects were terrible. My family thought I was having a nervous breakdown. First two days were fine but next five were hell. | F | 70 | 7 days 60 1X day | 10/5/2014 | 1 | Gerd | moderate Gas, increasing dizziness and vertigo the past week and a half. | Dexilant solved the Gerd problem but the vertigo makes it unacceptable. Had been taking Nexium 60 mg for past 10 years, but was beginning to lose its effectiveness. | M | 70 | 33 days 60 mg 1X day | 6/17/2014 | 5 | Acid Reflux | No side effects at all, It worked and I rarely had any issues regarding my acid reflux. | It has gotten so ridiculously expensive 407 dollars for 90 days and that is with good insurance. Can not afford so am now switching to omeprazole in the morning and a pepcid before bed. Not sure how that will all turn out. Fingers crossed. | M | 69 | 12 years 60 1X day | 1/2/2019 | 3 | acid reflux gerds | nausea,gas,bloating,loose stools | At the beginning it worked great, i could eat anything. No problems its been 2 months with all this side effects and i am on eluzadoline tablets that after 3 days became terribly constipated. So now I will refrain from acidic foods and hope it works. | F | 69 | 18 months 60 1X day | 5/16/2016 | 5 | GERD | none | only thing that worked on the GERD | F | 67 | 365 days 60 1X day | 9/28/2018 | 1 | Heartburn | Tried so hard to make this drug work as I have been on all the rest of them with all the same side effects. Biggest one for me is diarrhea. Insomnia also awful and body aches. Basically I end up just not feeling well. Most of it gut related. Will not take again. | F | 67 | 1 years 30 1X day | 12/16/2023 | 1 | Dizziness,Weakness, Stomach cramps | Be careful with this drug | M | 67 | 2 weeks | 12/12/2016 | 1 | Gerd | Severe stomach pain , bloating , gas , diarrhea , muscle cramping and weakness, dizzy spells and chest discomfort. | I have been on this med for over a year and in the last six months have been feeling so tired with numerous health complaints and been to the doctor but fail to get any satisfying answers. Believe thus drug is making me worse and will no longer take it. | F | 67 | 1 days 60 mg | 1/10/2015 | 4 | GERD | none | It's the only medication that relieves my GERD symptoms. I've tried just about everything else. My only complaint is the cost. Even with Medicare Part D, it's incredibly expensive. | M | 66 | 3 years 60 MG 1X day | 10/25/2016 | 1 | Gerd and Hernia | At first it helped but now the side effects are horrible Mouth feels like cut with glass horrible joint pain itching skin burning sensations can't sleep,depression can't quit crying which I have never had before this is Horrible after my endscopy will not use this ever again | F | 65 | 6 weeks 60 | 3/7/2016 |
DEXILANT (DEXLANSOPRAZOLE): Dexlansoprazole is used to treat certain stomach and esophagus problems (such as acid reflux). It works by decreasing the amount of acid your stomach makes. It relieves symptoms such as heartburn, difficulty swallowing, and persistent cough. This medication helps heal acid damage to the stomach and esophagus, helps prevent ulcers, and may help prevent cancer of the esophagus. Dexlansoprazole belongs to a class of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). FDA Approval Date: 2009-01-30 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
