Can I Take Nexium 40mg And Yasmin Together ?

Can I take Nexium 40mg and Yasmin together. Also I am on xanax 1mg three times a day and just wondering if that is a high dose to be on? I suffered with very bad acid and nausia for over 6 weeks and got hospitalized with it which was very difficult as I have a 4 month old baby. My partner works away a month at a time so told them I can't keep feeling so ill. It was worse in the mornings but still had it all day. I would only ever be sick with acid never any food would come up. I told my doctor I have suffered with anxiety and stress for quite awhile after I lost my first child when she was 4 years old. Once my doctor put me on nexium and xanax within a day I was feeling so much better and the nausea has stopped. I have suffered with anxiety in the past and never had it so I have felt so unwell like I did with the nausea and vomiting acid. I also want to know that my little boy is now 5.5 months and is teething and have been told so many different stories on what he should be having. I have had him on pandol and then changed to nurofen but was told they can be taken together? I'm using bonjella too but of a night 2 or 3 times he can wake up so upset which isn't like him and I can see 2 teeth coming through the gums. How should he take both of them together safely? Thanks I know there is quite a few different questions in this one for you.
Kind Regards

Hello.......
Thanks for your query. Nexium is escitalopram, an antidepressant and anxiolytic whereas xanax is alprazolam, a sedative anti-anxiety agent. The two drugs can be combined together. Lactating for your child by itself is not a reason to discontinue either of the drugs. Wish you speedy recovery.'

Hi,

The proton pump inhibitor esomeprazole (nexium) and the contraceptive ethinyl estradiol (yasmin) do not have any serious side effects when taken together. Alprazolam (xanax) is a sedative that has a potential to cause side effects in your baby while he is breastfeeding like sedation or symptoms of withdrawal as well.
Paracetamol (pandol) and Ibuprofen (nurofen) both are given for the same purpose so any one of it will suffice provided there is a necessity for both (under supervision). Do make sure he is receiving the right doses.

Hope this helps,
Dr A Rao
