What is Dexilant?

Dexilant (Dexlansoprazole) is a proton pump inhibitor used to treat symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and heal damage to the esophagus caused by stomach acid. It works by decreasing the amount of acid produced by the stomach.

Always follow your doctor’s instructions and use Dexilant exactly as prescribed.

• Take with a full glass of water, with or without food.
• If your symptoms usually occur after a meal, your doctor may direct you to take your dose before the same meal each day.
• Swallow capsule whole. Do not crush, chew or break.
• If you cannot swallow capsules whole, open the capsule and sprinkle the medication onto a spoon of applesauce.

Dexilant may cause kidney problems. Watch for changes in urination.

If you have lupus, Dexilant can cause new or worsening symptoms.

Risk of broken bones can increase while taking Dexilant.

Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breast feeding.

Before taking Dexilant, inform your doctor if you have any of the following:

• Liver disease
• Low bone mineral density
• Osteoporosis
• Low magnesium levels

Common side effects of Dexilant include:

• Headache
• Diarrhea, gas, nausea, stomach pain, vomiting
• Cold symptoms
• Mouth pain

Contact your doctor if you experience these more serious side effects:

• Low magnesium – muscle cramps and spasms, dizziness, tremors or jerking movements, fast or irregular heart rate, coughing or choking
• Kidney problems – blood in urine, urinating more or less than usual, swelling, weight gain
• Seizures
• Severe stomach pain, bloody/watery diarrhea
• New or worse lupus symptoms – joint pain, skin rash that worsens in sunlight

How long should I take Dexilant?

Take as long as prescribed by your doctor, even if GERD symptoms like heartburn have resolved. Dexilant also helps to heal damage done to the esophagus, and continued treatment can keep this damage from coming back.

What should I avoid while taking Dexilant?

Dexilant may cause diarrhea which can be a sign of a new infection. If you suffer from watery or bloody diarrhea, avoid using anti-diarrhea medication. Talk to your doctor if this occurs.
