First of all nexium will not cure worms. It's for acid reflux and heart burn. I am on nexium for acid reflux. Vaping and using nexium is fine. No problems.

They may have given him Nexium to ease the discomfort, as he said they haven't determined whether it is worms. I doubt they would give him medication for the worms before determining whether he actually has them.

I have been taking nexium for many years take it everyday around lunchtime. I have not problems with vaping and taking it. I take many different medications, its rather pathetic really. I am disabled and due to my problems I am on over 15 medications daily and some I take 2 and 3 times a day. It has been this way for a while for me. I have had no problems with this since I started vaping. So I really dont think you would have anything to worry about.

Nexium is just like Prilosec, Prevacid and other medications used for acid reduction in the digestive system. What doctor would prescribe this for possible worm. There are only 3 medications for the treatment of worms and this is not one of them. Most medications are only given for l day.

Why would a doctor think you had intestinal worm if you presented with abdominal pain. In this day and age very few people get intestinal worms. That should have been the last thing he should have suspected.
