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).   (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA) FDA Approval Date: 2009-01-30

 5  GERD, chest pains, heartburn Slight loose stools and slight dry mouth Side effects are very mild, but well worth taking because it's helped improve my GERD symptoms immensely! I've heard many other people say this too.

I'm going to switch to 30mg and see if it will eradicate the side effects which are mild anyway. I also have tried Prilosec and Prevacid OTC and had strong, unpleasant side effects. I highly recommend Dexilant (formerly Kapidex), though it is expensive, it is a quality drug.

I'm guessing that not many people have posted on here because of the lack of side effects!!! Makes sense right? ;)		 M 24 6 weeks
