Wife took Next young over the counter two thousand fifteen died of Liver cancer 2017.

I began taking Nexium after being diagnosed with Acid Reflux. I passed my first kidney stone 4 years later. I assumed it was from drinking soda so stopped that. I continued to pass stones at a rate of one per year. No dietary change slowed it down. When I first learned that Nexium was causing renal problems I put the pieces together and quit taking it. I only passed one last stone after quitting. But I have also developed Spinal Stenosis.

I have been on Dexilant for years now and I have back pain so bad some times so bad I can’t walk and other medical things

I was diagnosed with sudden onset kidney failure, pre cancerous gastritis, chronic gout, atrial fibrillation, hypertension, severe IBD, hypomagnesemia, anxiety attacks plus I had screaming pain level 10 constipation…after taking Prilosec twice a day for a few years these problems all showed up.

I developed ulcers after taken the medication

My fiance and partner for over 15, Marshall, just passed away July 29, 2022. He had been taking Pantoprazole since 2019, for reasons I still dont understand to this day! The doctors at the hospital pilot him on it while he was in the hospital in May 2019 even when he was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease at the time! Which ended up having stage three kidney disease by 2022 and uncontrollable high blood pressure too, and pneumonia twice since 2015 and acute pe pancreatitis at least twice since 2019. I looked over his records again recently and the only thing I think he may have prescribed it for is for a thoracic aneurys(which was diagnosed and repaired then too). The whole yeaR 2021 and 2022, he was barely able to eat without barfing and or choking and was in constant pain in his lower back sometimes in his lower stomach too. He was unable to enjoy anything except laying in bed watching tv. As he was unable to stay upright for over 3 to 5 minutes. He used to be a landscaper full time, rode his bike everywhere and it all just went to shit one thing to another starting in 2019. And the more things they fixed, the more went wrong with him. He also ended up getting blood clots in both legs last year and was still recovering from that trauma, pain. He actually lost all his toenails, too, and that hurt like hell, I know I was with him through all this shit. Of course cuz I loved him dearly he was my very best friend in the world, everyone loved him too. Anyway, I woke up on July 29 to find him dead. I pray he went in his sleep, by the way, he also ended up with heart it failure with that BP number about 2000plus AND his lipase level was over 900 at least twice. They also diagnosed him with spinal stenosis. I always urged him to talk to his primary care doctor about the pantoprazole, WHY IS HE STILL ON IT SHOULDNT HE NOT TAKE THAT FOR SO MANY YEARS? And he always told him he checked all his meds every time he went for an office visit. I also wonder if maybe his doctor that out him on eloquis for the blood clots, that he prescribed that pantoprazole too at the time of his blood clot ten day stay in the hospital, and I am mad at that quack, too.

I have been on Prilosec and Nexium for 40 years. I have a hiatal hernia and the doctors just kept telling me do you continue taking the medication. Then my symptoms became worse so the doctor suggested Pepcid complete to add to my Nexium dosage. When this didn’t work I decided to have a Nissan fundoplication in January. I had some issues one day and ended up in the ER getting a CAT scan. They found out that I have gallstones and a fatty liver! Add this to the osteoporosis that I now have as well.

Omg! I am reading this shot and it’s exactly what I’m going through! I have been on omezeprole for 7 years and I now have spinal stenosis, spinal disc degenerative disease. I still have severe nausea from my Dr. Abruptly told me to stop taking them for 14 days to take an H. Pylori breath test after I was asking for refills again as I didn’t know they were an 8 week pill nor was I warned of all the side effects

I was diagnosed with stage 3A chronic kidney disease last January 2021. I have taken Nexium, Omeprazol for years.

Been taking Omeprazole for years. Now having kidney problems starting with kidney stones, now phleboliths, recurrent UTIs, ongoing trips to ER for pain, now more food allergies, increased medicinal allergies, cysts on spleen, cysts on pancreas and now liver. In a considerable amount of pain and unable to work

I was prescribed Nexium in 1996 and took it for over 28 years and was then placed on Zantac! I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2020 and had my thyroid removed. I will be on synthroid for life! I also have stomach issues

My dad took these meds before he pass away from renal cell cancer and was diagnosed with kidney failure and chronic kidney disease and renal failure and he pass away 2016 can you help me

I have taken Nexium for over 25 years and am included in the lawsuit for Sept.2020 for Kidney disease. I was not aware that it could cause spinal stenosis. I also have Degenerative bone disease. Could this be related to the use also.

My sister pass away from liver cancer in 2016 and she took nexium can you guys file it under discover rule in Wisconsin

I have been taking Zantac, Prilosec and Prevacid for more than 15 plus years. Am I at risk?

My Mother was prescribed so many gastric medication due to they were temporary relief. She had one of kidney removed due to cancer, Gall bladder she took Nexium prevacid, prilosec, zegend and to me whatever they prescribed Mom thought she was getting better mentally. Years of medication abuse and we didn’t t know.

PPI’s orProton Pumpinhibitors cause cardiac, bobe disease and other cancers than just renal. I was on Omeprazole for ten years and am now a debilitated person with all of the above diseases.My gastroenterologist put me on the medicine and never took me off. When I tried I had severe gastric vomiting, and withdrawal symptoms. PPI’s must be taken off the market or only prescribed for no longer than one month.

Severe stenosis of spine and neck which needed ,in Doctors words, “major,major surgery”.3 surgeriesin all. . I’ve been taking prilosec for many years. Since it was a prescription drug. There is also stenosis deep in a chamber of my heart.

I’ve had all the symptoms that are put in writing

I lost a kidney in 2009 after taking Prilosec prescribed by the Veterans Admin since 1998 over ten years. I live in Michigan.

I took Prilosec for 12 years had all kinds of problems since

After reading lawsuit info. on Omeprazole, Nexium and such, some of my health issues make sense now. I intend to try and file lawsuit. I am really upset that I was allowed to take Omeprazole when Dr. who prescribed it knew I only had 1 functioning kidney and it’s now in stage 3 of Chronic Kidney Disease.

Have been taking Nexium for 20 years. Always told it was safe by my doctors to take long term. I’ve had C diff, diverticulitis and recently had partial colon resection. Since that surgery I’ve not been well. Dizziness, stomach issues, tiredness. My gastroenterologist told me to see if I could taper off the Nexium last time I had an appointment. Didn’t really say why. I can’t take many antibiotics so c diff is bad news for me. Live in fear when I have to take an antibiotic for any reason as it may bring the c diff back. Going for tests on Monday. I’m worried for the future and angry right now!

I have been on Topamax 200 mg since 1998. At that time I was taking 4 tabs or 800 mg per day for over 12 yrs. Then it was lowered to three pills. This past April 2019 my current neurologist lowered the strength of the pills to 100 mg. That’s been working out fine. However, I have been reading on the side effects of this products. Probably the major one while I was still working was my memory. This came into play with promotions ($). Others currently my teeth have been diagnosed in a strange manner and very costly. Also since I have been taking the $1500/mo. drug I have been on a medication for depression and anxiety. There are about six or eight other that I can tie into taking the medication(?). That’s all I have for now. Thanks—-CHC

HI All, I have taken Nexium since 2003 and I had osteoporosis at 32, but was not taking Nexium or any meds at the time. I am 60 years old now. The doctors didn’t tell me I had osteoporosis and years later I got sent to Afghanistan with a bone density of -.4 and didn’t know it until I got back because I told the doctor my bones hurt and I got a bone scan. GOOD NEWS: There is a cure…I started taking Fossamax, calcium 3 times a day, Vitamin D3 and got 30 minutes of sun every day. That took me to a -2.3 and I had a compression fracture above my two herniated discs that I had two laminectomies on. After the fracture of the vertebra, I started taking FORTEO and got to a -1.3 and now take Prolia and my bones are almost normal. Amazing that the calcium, Vitamin D3, in addition to the medications and the 30 minutes in the sun is a cure for osteoporosis. I tell people, but they just don’t listen. I had to take a disability retirement because of the compression fracture, but at least now I am at a very low risk of fractures like the one I had. Now if I could just get the compression fracture fixed??/ Hope this helps!

I’ve been on prilosec and zantac for a good while then last year there was a growth and cyst found on my kidney’s and more cyst’s keep showing up can this be caused by the medication

I have been on dexilant 60 MG for years now. I have been told I have blood in urine,hadn’t scan couldn’t find anything. Been having pain for months under breast bone,under right ribs to center of back no answer for it!!! Could this be from this drug????

the Prilosec lawsuit. I already had kidney disease, but I have been on prilosec for years and my kidney function has declined over time. Could the Prilosec have caused this to be in kidney failure.

I have been on omeprazole prescription generic since 2010 my doctor said it was because of my blood pressure. I was told l had angina, large heart and high blood pressure. Which l do have high blood pressure. I went to another doctor at a pro.ote clinic which l will not name but it is a well known clinic. I was told by the cardiologist l didn’t have angina or enlarged heart. I use to be only allergic for years with codeine. Now l am allergic to so many drugs the doctors are scared to give me anything. I had a brain injury in 1997 after going through rehab l was ok. Then l was given antidepressants and told l had bipolar and schizophrenia, seizures, depression and the only thing is l kept falling until l tore my cal. I was still given all these meds like Gordon, ibuprofen, lamictal, and then in 2014 l fell and was unconscious, they gave me the Gordon In the hospital again and all the other meds l had been taken. Then my daughter told me when they took me off the Gordon they gave me Stephen and l had a reaction. My family said l was told l had elevated ammonia. Now l never had any issues with my liver. When l was sent to another hospital for rehab. I asked the doctor why l had this. I was never told l had anything wrong with my liver. I worked in er room for 7yrs. And never had any problems. He ran so many test and everything came back normal. Then l had a biopsy to see if l had hepatits or cirrhosis of the liver and then he told me it was the medicines l was taking. Then we found out l had and extra vein in my liver. He didn’t know what to do. He said he seen this in medical school but never in a human. He told me he had to talk to his colleagues. So l had to have a procedure. They was going to put a shunt on my liver. When they did the procedure they were surprised l had 5 extra veins so now l have 5 stunts. Now l had to see my doctor for a follow-up and it was so surprising but l know it was the Lord. The radiologist that did the procedure called to speak to him about the procedure when l was in his office. Later on my sister told me they never did this before. I didn’t know that because l wouldn’t have let them do it. I had an appoint to John Hopkins before this procedure but l did it because l wouldn’t have to travel. Now l was told l have to take lactulose for the rest of my life. Now l was someone who only had asthma because l moved to a different state Since then l had to have 3 more survives. I was still falling and sometimes have to slide on the floor just to get to the bathroom or can’t get out the bed. Sometimes when l fall l am unconscious for a short time and then l wake up not knowing what happened. I’ve been placed in mental hospital and just this year in January l fell at home depot and they said l was hallucinating when l went to the hospital. The psychiatrist came right away in the room and wanted to admit to the mental unit. I have been told l have me, Parkinson disease, mental conditions, elevated ammonia, renal kidney, kidney stones which l had since 2014, angina, all about my heart, falling, tremors and some many other diagnoses but not the truth.l went to the hospital one time from falling and a nurse told me why you are falling and having problems with seizures, unconsciousness and all these other issues is because you are allergic to the medication. Now like l said l worked at a hospital and nurse aren’t suppose to tell you why you are having the problem the doctor is I started looking at the reactions of all my meds and the allergic reactions are the same so you don’t know what you are allergic too. Then l had a gotten a new neurologist and he said l had conversion disorder. They either wanted to hide what was happening to me or they were just ignorant. So l told the newspaper l was going to get a 2 opinion. He told me you will come back with the same diagnoses. A lot of people l talked to always said he was the best doctor and he graduated at the top of his class. But he doesn’t know more than God or what you feel is not true. So l went to another neurologist who was at one of the top clinics. She told me l been a neurologist for a long time and if everything is normal l will have to send you to behavioral therapy so you can talk and try to deal with what’s being said and try to learn how to deal with it. Now l also had and elevated Ana. So all the test was ran and l even had a 4hr memory test and everything came back normal. Then another neurologist told her to do a PET because they wanted to see if l had dementia because it runs in the family and I had cognitive issues from the brain injury. This was for awhile when l first got at the hospital from the brain injury and then after l was put on all these meds it got worst. So she had me see 2 psychiatrist and then she was going to have me see a third. I had to go to the rheumontologist because of my high ana. Then a vascular medicine doctor. When l saw the vascular medicine doctor because the internal medicine doctor saw my first gastenerologist wanted me to have a ultrasound of my stomach to see if this was what was causing the problem my elevated ammonia. So l had to have the ultrasound and the doctor told me they didn’t do the shunt procedure correctly and one of the shunt are open.So he has to talk to the team of doctors to see what’s the best thing to do. If the shunt is open wide you can bleed and it can go to you vein to the heart and then to the brain. And if it’s narrow it blocks everything. He told me the doctors are suppose to have test done on your ammonia level to make sure it low and do ultrasounds to make sure your shuts are still on correctly and you are suppose to have regular followup. He couldn’t believe this was what happened to me.. l could have died. He told me that’s why you are going through what’s happening. Now when l went back to the neurologist because l was to see the other doctors so she can make her final recommend decision. She cancelled all the other appointments and she told me you have been misdiagnosed and if you want me to write a letter l will. I told her yes and she did. So even she was amazed because she had been a neurologist for along time and she never seen this before. So all these mental diagnoses l have are all misdiagnosed. So l am still taking the meds and when l heard about the recall on the omeprazole. I called a law firm l saw on tv they sent me everything to fill out. I asked about the prescription one, the girl told me only the Oct. They my nurse who calls me from my insurance told me it is also the prescription one. Then recently corporate Walgreens told me their was a new recall on a med by the manufacturer call your local Walgreens and they will give you all the information and when l called them they said their wasn’t any new recalls. I asked 2 employees and l got the same answer. I discontinued taking it told my doctor and told him to take it off my meds l take. Then l been having problems with burning throat and nausea. I told him that and l told him l was taking a baking soda, honey and water because it was natural. It only helped for a short time. I am very careful with what a take because of my elevated ammonia. So l told him that and he told me to take otc Santa and l see they recalled that one also. I been having so many problems and l am the one suffering. I not a doctor bot maybe l should.

I have been on Medium for several years now. Never realized there are so many side effects. If I stop taking it, I become so sick to my stomach trying to digest food, that I end up going back on it. Ranitidine helps somewhat. I have many aches and pains but attribute it to my age (72) I was hospitalized with diverticulitis last year. Could this be the reason. I have a blood disorder, JAK2. I have been to several doctors, including a gastroenterologist, but no help given for feeling so sick with digestion. What is a person to do to get help??

I was on Nexium, Prilosec and Omeprazole for a number of years due to my GERD. Over the years I have been treated for IGA Nephropathy without much indication as to where I would have developed this illness which has now led to me being diagnosed, after 3 kidney biopsys, that I have stage 5 End Stage Renal Kidney Disease. I just had a “fistula” created in my left arm to facilitate the eventual dialysis that I will have to be doing in order to stay alive and lead a normal a life as possible. I was evaluated for a kidney transplant and passed all the required testing but for the cardiology stress test (2 of them) both came back with questionable results of my left ventricle and that has kept me off the “active” wait list for the transplantation. I have no doubt that all of these aliments including the weakening of the left ventricle were from the use of the aforementioned drugs whether OTC or prescription grade. Due to the kidney disease I have now developed I have also been diagnosed as being anemic due to a low production of the hormone EPO…which is essential in creating red blood cells. Hence I have a low red blood count due to the failure of the kidneys’ production of the much needed EPO!! Not to mention the high blood pressure that the kidney failure has now caused!!

These are dangerous drugs, and people were not properly notified. I think the public needs to be compensated for the illness they caused!

I have taken Prilosec for many years and it does work for my acid reflux. I tried going off it a month ago, but the heartburn was so bad I had to go back on it. I had my esophagus stretched about 20 years ago, because I couldn’t swallow liquids or solid food. That corrected that problem. I now have arthritis in my knees and ankles. I also have a kidney stone that has not passed. I have had several bad falls and have quite a bit of pain in my knees. I do wonder what I have to look forward to in the future with my kidneys – since the diagnosis regarding the Prilosec.

I used to use prilosec and at age 40, had a massive heart attack. Then another at age 42. My cardiologist told me to never take prilosec again. Said they didnt know for sure, but could have played a role since I am so young.

As a Prilosec user since 1998 for Gerd, and last year diagnosed with clear Cell Renal Cancer. After the surgery it was diagnosed as Metastatic Stage 4 Clear Cell Renal Cancer. I am curious to know whether this is a Prilosec issue.

After enteroscopy I have got prescription for Omeprazole and took it for 3 months. Then , after second enteroscopy, they found fundic gland polyposis in my stomach due, as they told me , to my taking Omeprazole. Nobody ever told me of this side effect and I want to file a lawsuit

Carl, you do realize that Prilosec and Omeprazole are the same thing, right? Well, they are. Omeprazole is the generic version.

I’ve been taking omepresole for 15 years and have a host of medical problems that could be related to taking this drug….I am also a type 1 diabetic which masked some of the symptoms….have had stents ,foot pain,joint pain, back pain….

I now have kidney problems and I have listed them below.

I also took omeprazole daily for 8 years or more until diagnosed with 2 cancers in early 2010. Papillary Renal Cell Carcinoma of the left kidney and Adenocarcinoma of the Gallbladder. Later to find in late 2011 that the Gallbladder cancer had somehow spread to the liver although the pathology report of the Gallbladder said there was a 5mm serosal margin before it would escape to liver. Forever grateful for my doctors who got me into the 5 year, 5% survivors of GB cancer. I just hit the 5 year cancer free after the liver ablation of 2012. I can assure you the PTSD of this ordeal hasn’t gone away like the removal of the left Kidney, Gallbladder, and ablated damaged liver! When you get down to one kidney and a damaged liver you have to pay close attention to the seemingly safe OTC meds you take for pain, some stress your kidney others your liver. I believe my life was changed because of my long term use of Omeprazole. My concerns seem a LOT like Kathy H above on 2/23/17. Will cancer be considered as part of this suite?

I too was taking Omeprazole for about 8 years or more. I was also diagnosed with chronic kidney disease about 4 years or so ago. I was diagnosed with lupus about 6 year ago. I have discord lupus which resulted in large red spots on my face, back,arms and chest. The itch was very intense!!!! Just taking a shower was so painful I would have tears rolling down my cheeks because of the clorine in the water it felt like I was on fire!!!! This past October I saw an article that stated that PPI’S could cause lupus or make it worse. I had seen my Doctor about a week before who said he had never seen me as bad. I was covered . He raise the dose of my medication but after reading the article about 4 days after seeing him I decided to stop the med. and also the Prilosec. Within 4 days I could see an improvement. Three weeks later I saw my Doctor again. He was in total shock!! His first words were{ [ [What happened,you are cleared up. what did you do} When I told him he agreed that it was the PPI. I contacted the company that makes it and was told that they did not have enough people reporting lupus so it was not listed as a side effect. They said that in July of 2016 it was listed. A LITTLE TOO LATE AS FAR AS I’M CONCERNED. That did not help with the pain and suffering for all those years from the lupus and kidney disease!!!! I AM SO VERY ANGRY!!! I

in 2012 my doctor took me off ASIPHEX, NURPHROGIST BECAUSE OF THE INCREASE DAMAge it could cause me, with in the month I was starting dialisys. that was 4 years ago. now I have complications from dialisys

I took both Nexium, Prilosec and i lost my right kidney from a tumor. and my gallbladder in the same year. I stopped taken both when the nexium almost suffocated me . Now i am dealing with a tumor in my bladder ,,

I have been on these meds for many many years of my life…I have suffered from many problems with my stomach and my asphegus that let me to had to take them every day twice a day…I recently got my asphegus stretched and I got off of these meds now after all these years….!!! But I am noticing a lot of inflamation pain in my kidneys of late and have in the past. I also have arthritis in my back and have hip problems my docter had just diognosed me with , and severe knee problems and carpel tunnel , but unsure if they are a factor as well. I would like to be added to this claim. Thank you…

I have been on protonix for years now I am on dialasys I am tired of deign given drugs that cause worse things than they help and not being informed of all side effects

I’ve been on prescription pepcid for many years. It’s generic called Famotidine 40 mg I already sent info about medical issues these proton pump meds could be causing me- I.e. Pneumonia. But I am very close to having to go on dialysis. My bun & creatinine ratio indicates massive damage in my kidneys. I get severe kidney pain, I was in hospital in December 2016 and I was & am magnesium deficient, along with many B vitamins and a # of minerals. I have other medical issues that fit into the problems I am just learning that these proton pump meds can cause. I believe I have a big case or more than 1 case. I don’t know how this works. But I get pneumonia 2-3 x a year, and am just about to loose kidney function. I have a lot of neurological probs Arthritis (both types) loosing my vision fast! And other medical issues that may have been caused by taking Famotidine 40 mg 1 or 2 x daily.

Used many of these drugs for years for reflux and have many of these symptoms and take more drugs for the symptoms. Should I be in this suit?

The first Dr. who put me on Nexium was a gastro specialist, however after about 6 years my family ph,ysician lowered the dose and stated that these types of drugs thin your bones. After falling and hurting my ankle, for no other reason as to it just gave out and it hurting chronically I’m beginning to believe it.

I have had GERD since 1997. I have been on omeprozol, Nexium, Prilosec and Zantac. I am on another prescribed drug now I will have to get the name of it but it’s a generic for Nexium. I have had kidney issue, blood in urine, kidney infections, Piloafronitis I am sure I spelled that wrong. But two years ago I broke my ankle and I have a lot of the symptoms that most of you have such as back pain, muscle aches, burning and numbness in hands and feet, leg pain etc.. I would like to be included in this law suite.

Forget meds! Raise the head of your bed. Gastric juice can’t flow uphill. Case closed.
