Detailed Answer:
Hi D.powell26,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.

1. Dexilant contains dexlansoprazole which is classified as a proton pump inhibitor group of medicine and prescribed to decrease stomach acid formation.

2. Clinical research has shown that side effects like diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, stomach discomfort and common cold might occur in less than 2 percent of people taking it.

3. Rarely there can be significant side effects like hives, difficulty in breathing, confusion, incoherent speech, blood vomiting, dizziness and swelling of face and hands.

In conclusion, it is a relatively safe medicine when taken in recommended dose.

Hope your query is answered.
Please do write back if you have any doubts.
