How Does Dexilant Work?

Dexilant works by inhibiting the hydrogen-potassium ATPase pump (the gastric proton pump) in the stomach’s parietal cells. This action significantly reduces stomach acid production. It has a unique dual delayed-release formulation, which releases the medication in two phases. This helps maintain a more consistent level of the drug in your system, providing longer-lasting relief from symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Dexilant be taken long-term for chronic GERD management?

Dexilant can be prescribed under medical supervision for the long-term management of chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Your doctor or healthcare provider should determine the duration of treatment and dosage based on the severity of the patient’s medical condition & the body’s response to treatment. Regular monitoring and consultations are essential to avoid potential long-term side effects.

What should I do if Dexilant is not providing sufficient relief from my GERD symptoms?

If Dexilant does not adequately control your GERD symptoms, consult your healthcare provider. They may adjust your dosage, recommend additional diagnostic tests, or consider alternative treatments. Factors such as adherence to the medication schedule, dietary habits & lifestyle choices can also impact the effectiveness of the treatment.

Are there any dietary or lifestyle changes I should follow while taking Dexilant?

Adopting dietary and lifestyle modifications while taking Dexilant can enhance the medication’s effectiveness. Avoiding food items and beverages that trigger acid reflux, such as alcohol, spicy foods, and caffeine, can help. Additionally, eating smaller meals, maintaining a healthy weight, not lying down just after eating, and elevating the head of your bed may reduce GERD symptoms.

How does Dexilant compare to other proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in terms of efficacy and safety?

Like other proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), Dexilant effectively reduces stomach acid production and treats GERD and erosive esophagitis. Its unique dual delayed-release formulation provides longer-lasting symptom relief than other PPIs. However, the efficacy and safety of Dexilant versus other PPIs can vary based on individual patient factors. Discuss with your physician or healthcare provider to determine the most efficient PPI for your condition.
