Iron Salts
If you are taking both Nexium and iron salts, your body may metabolize them differently than intended. Your doctor may choose to monitor your progress closely.
 
Ketoconazole
If you are taking both Nexium and ketoconazole, your body may metabolize them differently than intended. Your healthcare provider may choose to monitor your progress closely.
 
Voriconazole (Vfend)
Voriconazole can double the amount of Nexium in your blood, increasing your risk of side effects. Typically, this is a significant problem only for people taking a very high Nexium dosage. However, you should talk to your healthcare provider before using these medications together.

If you are taking both Nexium and warfarin, your body may metabolize them differently than intended. Your doctor may choose to monitor your INR and prothrombin time more frequently, and adjust your Nexium dosage accordingly.
