Nexium Drug Interactions: An Introduction
Nexium® (
esomeprazole magnesium) may potentially interact with a number of other medicines. Some of these possible Nexium drug interactions may involve the following:
Atazanavir (Reyataz)
Nexium can decrease the level of atazanavir in your blood, perhaps making it less effective. Your healthcare provider may need to increase your atazanavir dose.
Diazepam
When taking Nexium with diazepam, your body may metabolize the medicines differently than intended, although it is not believed to be significant. You may wish to discuss this with your healthcare provider, prior to starting Nexium.
Digoxin
If you are taking both Nexium and digoxin, your body may metabolize the medications differently than intended. Your healthcare provider may choose to monitor your progress closely.
