Taking Nexium While on Tx

I hope someone will help me out here. I am into 2nd wk of 24 wk Tx. Because of my acid reflux problem( coughing on and off ) my family dr has prescribed me Nexium ( PPI Therapy).  My  nurse said its O.K to use it during the Tx. But I want to hear from the fellow members that whether this medication is safe and does not interfere the effectiveness of  Pegasys.  Hopefully some members will advice me on this issue. Thanks

Nexium is just fine to take on treatment as is the other PPI's. My hepatologist ordered me Nexium during tx and then led me go to Prilosec or prevacid when the became OTC. And sense i'm now SVR there wasn't a problem with them......... Best to you

Nexium is safe to use with interferon and ribavirin and will not interfere with the efficacy of antiviral therapy.

Good luck with your treatment
