The medication is a blue delayed release capsule. It has markings on it that appear to be an AP intertwined. It has the number 60 a little beneath the AP.

I have barrette eshogus, and also acid reflux, have been on nexium since it hit the market. Two months ago Dr . Switched me to 60 mg dexilant , worked great for reflux, then I could not stop diarhea lasted 11 days! Called dr. Said it was side effect , put me back to nexium 40 mg twice daily! Anyone have any other rx's that really work!

Susan, what did you end up doing?
Was there some reason they wanted her on the other medications?
The reason I'm asking is because Dexilant contains the active ingredient Dexlansoprazole, which is a proton pump inhibitor.
That means that the Nexium, which contains Esomeprazole is an equivalent medication and has the same side effect profile as the Dexilant.
Learn more Nexium details here.
So, I'm curious as to why they wanted to add the Amitiza?
What is she being treated for?
