How to order nexium

Hi there,

I would like to get a generic (generic Nexium) from my GP so that I can have a prescription with my generic. I have been on the brand name for about a year (2 years) and have had no problems.

I am currently taking my generic, however after trying for a couple of weeks I have started to get a bit run down. I can't help but think that it might be a sign of a problem with my liver.

My GP gave me a prescription for Nexium. I did have a question about the dosage.

I read somewhere that a doctor might prescribe a low dose of 5mg per day. How is that going to help?

Thanks

I am trying to get Nexium in my prescription to be affordable for the time being but I have no idea how to take it. I have read some other sites on here that a doctor might prescribe an higher dose than needed. I am currently on 40 mg. and I was thinking of trying a 20mg. and then taking 40mg and see what happens.

Do you have any suggestions from the site that I can get this medication from?

I have tried everything possible, I've tried both the brand name and generic and it's all working so far.

I have tried everything possible.

I am on Nexium 40 mg. and I also tried other similar medications. They are all working well, but I'm just curious if they might be able to do the same for me?

I am on 40 mg. and I've been on Nexium for about a year now, I have no issues with the dosage I am taking. It's been great to have a friend here who has been on it for about 6 months, and we have been trying to talk it out of the box as the cost of the medication is way too high.

I have also been taking the same dose of omeprazole, which is an antacid. I have tried everything and have not had any problems, I am just curious if this could be causing issues?
