Is it possible to take over-the-counter Nexium for more than 14 days for stomach pain after taking an NSAID?

No other medications, no allergies. Good general health. Hello, I have stomach burns after taking naproxen for known pain from my MD. I have been taking Nexium 20mg over the counter for 10 days. This relieves me greatly, but there is still a slight symptom. I will not see my MD for another month.

Hello, thank you for your question!
In the short term, I don't see any problem with taking this medication, but you will need to have at least stopped taking naproxen, and other anti-inflammatories.
I am available if you have any further questions!
