Is the sensation of burning in the throat and esophagus and swallowing saliva when using PPIs (Dexilant, then Mesopral) a cause for concern?
Hello. I have a question: recently I took drugs from the PPI group, first dexilant, then mesopral, I had problems with the digestive system in the form of a noticeable burning ailment in the throat and esophagus with such a result that from time to time I have to swallow saliva. The question on my part is it normal with these drugs and what to do in such a situation if the drug is used?

Yes, but I am already after the end of therapy, that is, I no longer take medication.

It happens that the use of these drugs can cause unwanted side effects, including burning in the throat and esophagus, as well as a feeling of dry mouth and difficulty swallowing. If you have experienced the above symptoms after using PPIs, you should consult a doctor who will help you choose the right dose of the drug or change the drug to another from the PPI group. He may also recommend symptomatic treatment, such as antacids. The GdziePoLek.pl service also allows you to obtain a teleconsultation with a doctor: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja Do not change the dose yourself or stop taking the drug without consulting your doctor, as this can lead to serious health consequences.
