Worked great, Only took a day to kick in and was easy on my stomach. The only problem I had was that iI lived on samples for awhile because insurance would not cover. Switched to protonix shortly thereafter.

Had been dealing with severe reflux for more than a year. Had just taken OTC products-antacids, prilosec gaviscon. Finally went to the Dr and was put on Dexilant. Immediately had relief-no more GERD, heartburn or indigestion. The Dr had me try to get off of teh med after 2 1/2 months and symptoms came back in four days! Thankfully I am now back on it and symptom free again!

Have tried a few drug for my problem. Not sure why others have such severe reactions to this drug but I have none. Was previously on Acephix. I love it I have had these issues for over 10 years and nothing worked as good as this.

I've been using Dexilant for a month to help my heartburn. It seems to work pretty well.

Don't know if its due to meds, but going to stop taking it until I find out otherwise. I'm a healthy 34 yr old ... Show Full Comment

I have been taking this for 5 days. I have noticed my ears itching and draining in the past couple days. Today it has gotten worse and my eyes itch and have developed a rash around them. I will not continue to use this product.
