Estrogen and Nexium
Does Nexium block the absorption of estrogen? I am taking Estratest (half strength) and started taking Nexium twice a day for another condition. Almost immediately, I started having night sweats and not being able to sleep.My son is a Pharmeceutical Rep and said he thought the nexium is the problem and all the PPIs affect the absorption of Estrogen. If this is the problem, will the patch work. My Doctor suggested this.
Here is all i found on the net -
The safety of NEXIUM was evaluated in over 15,000 patients (aged 18-84 years) in clinical trials worldwide including over 8,500 patients in the United States and over 6,500 patients in Europe and Canada. Over 2,900 patients were treated in long-term studies for up to 6-12 months. In general, NEXIUM was well tolerated in both short and long-term clinical trials.

Additional adverse events that were reported as possibly or probably related to NEXIUM with an incidence < 1% are listed below by body system:

Hi Anne, I'm 60 and I had a complete hysterectomy at age 44. I've been on Estratest ever since and started taking half the dose about 6 months ago without any side affects. It has just started since I started taking the Nexium.
