prilosec prevacid
As if there weren't enough things giving us chest pain, new studies reveal that Prilosec and Nexium, made by pharmaceutical giant AstraZeneca, increase the risk of fatal heart attacks after years of use. The heartburn medications follow closely in the wake of controversies surrounding Vioxx, a painkiller also believed to raise the likelihood of heart attack and cardiovascular problems, and Avandia, a diabetic medication thought to elevate similar risks. Prilosec and Nexium are nearly identical in formula, and belong to a group of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors, which reduce or eliminate heartburn by decreasing the stomach's production of acid. prevacid made my depression worse prevacid bacteria prevacid alternatives long term affects of taken prevacid prevacid dose method
