Patient's question:
In the hospital, after a thorough examination, the diagnosis confirmed superficial gastritis and gastroesophageal reflux disease. The doctor prescribed Nexium to be taken once a day, but I don't know whether it's better to take it in the morning or at night? Before or after meals?Doctor's answer:
Superficial gastritis is an inflammatory response caused by the stimulation of the gastric mucosa by etiological factors. You have been to the hospital for a check-up and have been prescribed medication. It is best to take it on an empty stomach in the morning for better effectiveness, or you can also take it three hours after dinner in the evening. Do you have any symptoms? What tests have you undergone? How has it been working? Patients face the harm of stomach bloating, and we should actively implement examinations and treatments, avoiding hesitation to seek medical attention. If the stomach bloating does not improve with treatment, it is necessary to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
