<h2>The Purple Pill</h2>
<p>Nexium is a purple pill prescribed to treat heartburn, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and any condition that causes your stomach to produce more acid.<br />
Nexium turns off many of the acid pumps in the stomach’s acid producing cells.<br />
The FDA approved Nexium in 2001 and now more than 236 million prescriptions have been prescribed.<br />
Although the drug treats heartburn for 24 hours, many have been seriously injured due to this pill, which has been known to make bones brittle and cause bone fractures.</p>
<h2>Side Effects of Nexium</h2>
<p>Many users of nexium report having side effects from this drug, ranging from headaches to diarrhea and abdominal pain, which are prominent in adults 18 and older.<br />
For those under 17, common side effects are headaches, diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, and sleepiness.<br />
Nexium has been known to greatly increase the risk of getting severe diarrhea.<br />
High doses of nexium can cause bones to become brittle, and in a lot of cases, cause bone fractures.<br />
Other conditions caused by Nexium are: congenital fetal malformations, hydroencephaly, anencephaly, miscarriage, and any other fracture related injuries.</p>
<h2>Why is Nexium Causing Weak Bones?</h2>
<p>Nexium is a great drug in terms of getting rid of heartburn symptoms.<br />
However, Nexium will slowly prevent the body from absorbing essential nutrients your body needs.<br />
An example of this is Nexium blocking calcium from being absorbed. Your body needs calcium for strong healthy bones.<br />
When there is a lack of calcium in your body, your bones are more brittle and more likely to fracture. One little fall or spill and your hip is broken.<br />
Nexium is now considered to be a defective drug and manufacture AstraZeneca has to compensate individuals whose injuries stemmed from taking Nexium.</p>
<h2>How Do You Know If you Have a Calcium Deficiency?</h2>
<p>The first sign of a calcium deficiency is having muscle cramps. Usually these cramps are in the legs and happen at night.<br />
Further signs to look out for are really dry skin, brittle nails, and yellowing teeth.<br />
For women, increased PMS symptoms are prominent in calcium deficiency.<br />
Lastly, bone fractures are very common for people affected by calcium deficiency. Nexium can cause these symptoms because it blocks the body from absorbing calcium.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>In conclusion, this purple pill used to cure heartburn and gastroesophageal reflux disease works great at getting rid of acid reflux symptoms.<br />
With that being said, it could be causing a lot more harm than most believe.<br />
Acid reflux is painful and the symptoms can be severe, but they are not comparable to a broken bone.<br />
