prelief with nexium??

[grace 2]

HI, I'm on Nexium and want to try prelief with my meals. Has anyone else mixed the two? Waiting on a call from my dr. office. Thanks! Grace

Dear grace2:

Prelief is a dietary supplement (calcium glycerophosphate) that takes the acid out of food. Prelief is not a drug; it works on the food. (Nexium reduces the production of stomach acid.)

Prelief does not interfere with other medications unless you are on a medication that is inhibited by calcium. I do not think Nexium is a problem, but you certainly should go by what your doctor recommends.
