Re: Nexium an antifungal? JACKIEBREEZE

[Guest guest]

Jackiebreeze, Googline for antifunal and Nexium,

all I could come up with is that taking Nexium

can decrease the effectiveness of antifungals:

" Esomeprazole may decrease the absorption of the

following antifungal medicines from the gut, and

thus may make them less effective:

itraconazole

ketoconazole. "

Esomeprazole,

Are all azoles such as Nexium, also antifungals?
