14x Trust Nexcid Heartburn Relief (Esomprazole 20mg) $5.49 Delivered @PharmacySavings

280

Hi Ozbargainers,

Long time between Heartburn relief medication deals, lots of people asking - No great supplier deals around at the moment but to keep those in need satisfied I thought I'd clear out a couple of cartons of Trust Nexcid. This medication relieves the symptoms of Heartburn and Acid Relux. While extremely effective for many this medication should not be consumed longer term without consultation with your doctor. Always read the product usage and warning instructions included on the product box before consumption.

Item: 14x Trust Nexcid, Heartburn Relief Tablets, Exp: End June 2025
Link: https://pharmacysavings.com.au/products/14-x-trust-nexcid-24…
Price: $5.49
Delivery: FREE
Quantity Available At Listing: >100 Units

For anyone looking to bundle HEARTBURN RELIEF with DIARRHOEA RELIEF of IBUPROFEN, I have restocked this long running $9.99 Ozb Deal: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/840800

And the Ozb faves outsold the actual deal I ran last week around 50:1 so I think there is again merit in mentioning them:

    Reconsider, if it's falling under this medication category. Apparently they're dangerous for kidneys, could cause kidney stones and stomach cancers…

    And our loving government will keep them on shelves because after all they love us ❤️

        If this were true, there will be no medication available for anything based on my deal posting history. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/user/6432/nodes

          I know you have got history here, but it would be a good business decision, in the current climate, to clear this stock asap, wouldn't it? No disrespect intended.

            @SonOfATightASS: Seriously no - if the product were to become recalled clients could return to us and we could return to the manufacturer. Being respectful to the few poor people who have developed serious illness or died, literally billions of people have at some point benefited from this medication. My personal view is that it should return to a more restrictive category of medicine in Australia requiring clients to visit their doctor before staying on the medication for months or years, but there are so many views on this, mine is only one.

              @jason101: If this was not true, why did “AstraZeneca settled a US lawsuit late last year, paying $630 million to almost 19,000 patients”?

              • @CloudB: I was replying to the comment relating to commentary about having this item "on sale" due to the suggestion it may have no value soon. I think I can dispute this fact based on the comment I then made relating to clients being able to return the product to us and then us being able to return it to the manufacturer in the event it were to become withdrawn from the market.

              • @CloudB: To directly answer your question, it's usually because $630 million to a $237 Billion valued, publically traded company, is a nice simple way to stop a bleed.
                No more lawyers, no new media, and once it's settled it can't escalate.

                No idea what the science will find, I'm not commenting on the medication.
                Just trying to help you out with understanding the most common "why" that you were curious about when it comes to megacorps, or even just large business when public traded.

      PPIs help millions of people. Like any medication the side effects need to be weighed up against risks. Long term reflux can cause conditions such as Barrett Oesophagus and consequently lead to oesophageal cancer. It’s a nasty cancer. People who have gastric ulcers rely on this medicine to relive pain and to prevent upper GI bleeds, some can be life threatening.

      Additionally if you are on long term medications or have chronic health conditions then your GP should/would organise regular checkup bloods including monitoring renal function. If there is an acute or chronic kidney disease then your medication and causes would be reviewed.

      Headline grabbing articles are not the best source of medical evidence, much of what is reported is anecdotal and selective.

      • +3

        Yup. I need this medication - I get it on a script. I had a 70% eroded oesophagus and now have Barrett's. People keep saying shouldn't take them, but the risk of not taking them is far greater, if you are diagnosed with a condition that needs them

        • I have been on Somac for 5 months, and it has really helped me mitigate reflux issues I had for 10 yrs or so but only earlier this yr I got medical advice.

          I did see the article so going to hold for any future refills until I have chat with doctor.

          • @lostinsydney: Yeh good idea to follow up with a visit to GP.

            When they first identified my issue they put me on pantoprazole (somac) but wasn't really helping, so they switched me to esomeprazole which worked. I was also taking ranitidine which helped heaps for immediate relief, however that got pulled from shelves/banned.

            The dosage has also changed a lot. I started on 80gm per day for esomeprazole, after 6 months they dropped it back to the recommended maximum of 40mg until the follow up endoscope. Then dropped to 20mg and then a year later stopped, but I had reoccurance so they bumped it back to 20mg and an extra tablet at night if I am in the middle of a flare up. If they ever pull esomeprazole I'm screwed.

  • To be fair to OP, he's been selling Nexcid here even before the news controversy: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/search/node/Nexcid%20type%3Aozb…

      Thanks - but don't worry I've got the message, this product will hide in the background next to Cold and Flu day and night. There are literally 20,000sku's I can offer, this deal was legitimately in response to a few clients asking for a deal on this product

      Anyone with a calculator can probably work out that $5.49 less $1.50 postage less $0.20 in envelope costs, less +/- $1 in payment processing fees, less the cost of the product is leaving me with less than $0 on this deal (before even factoring in my labour), so I'm not losing any sleep by not offering this product again in the near future ;-)

      Anyway the good news is around 100 units sold in around an hour so the deal is basically over, I'll pack them in the next couple of hours and then I can go back to watching TV on the couch.

    Crickey, some misguided hate for the OP going on here.

    I appreciate deals like this - I get serious heartburn after a solid night on the booze, and this drug helps to calm it. Does the packet say it’s not designed for that? Yes. Does it work anyway? Yes. So having a handful in the cupboard for peanuts is perfect for me. If they expire before I use them, well - I guess I have been a good boy and haven’t had enough benders to need to use them.

    Ignore the haters and keep the deals going @jason101

  • This post reminded me that my Loperamide stock is out-of-date so ordered the $9.99 bundle. Cheers.

    is this to go with the $1 SubDog deal

  • @jason101

    Just last week I was thinking of coming and asking if you could do a deal on Esomprazole, spewing that they're sold out already. Could you please try and pull off another one sometime soon?

    Oz-reflux

  • @jason101
    I returned one of my previous orders Order #55205 for a refund a while ago as I bought the wrong medication, any updates? Per my previous message no issues with refund in store credit / deduction for restocking

  • Damn, missed it by this much…. doctor put me on this stuff a few years ago. I only need it a few times a year but it's worth keeping a supply on hand. I hope you ignore the negative nancies and post again.

  • Sold out 😭 @jason101 is there anymore stock coming?

  • I get 30 tablets for $17 on a prescription, and damn this is cheaper than that…
