Kapidex (active ingredient Dexlansoprazole) has been launched in the US for use in the treatment and maintenance of patients with erosive oesophagitis and non-erosive reflux disease, i.e. gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD or GORD).
Common side effects while taking Kapidex are: Stomach ache (bloating, gas, diarrhea), nausea, respiratory tract infection, and vomiting.
More serious side effects are: Serious allergic reactions that may cause iching due to a rash, trouble breathing, peeling/swollen skin, and blistering.
Are your spots similar to blisters? If so I would seek medical attention right away. If these are not what you are experiencing, please post back so I can try to help you further.
