Does Taking Dexilant For A Prolonged Period Cause Any Side Effects?
My husband takes Dexilant every day. Is it a good idea to take it for as long as he has. He has taken some form of this type of medicine for years. Can he just stop taking it because he has developed stomach pain and I am worried that this may be the cause.
