erosive esophagitis
"For 10 years, I have had heartburn which I was self-treating with anything I could find (not good).  Five years ago, I saw a Doctor and was prescribed every medicine on the market. The latest was Prilosec, which I have been taking for 2 years and was helping but the past year the dosages kept going up and the medicine no longer worked. I was literally drinking massive amounts of Maalox each day.  The chest pains, coughing, hoarseness and heartburn is not bad that I can't stand it.  I will be having reflux surgery on November 15th but my GI Doctor prescribed Dexilant and told me to give it a try. Dexilant is the miracle I was waiting for. It produced a bronchial cough but I was willing to put up with that. I still need surgery but highly
recommend Dexilant."
