Nexium (Esomeprazole)

Nexium® (Esomeprazole) provides long-term relief from chronic heartburn caused by acid reflux illness. Nexium®, available in 20mg and 40mg concentrations, is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces the amount of acid produced by your stomach, allowing you to enjoy life without the agony of heartburn and acid reflux.

Why Choose Nexium (Esomeprazole)?

  • Effective Relief: Nexium® delivers 24-hour relief from heartburn by addressing the underlying cause, excess stomach acid.
  • Dual Strengths: Available in 20mg and 40mg pills to meet your individual requirements and treatment guidelines.
  • Clinically Proven: Nexium® has been extensively evaluated in clinical trials, demonstrating its usefulness in treating acid reflux disease symptoms and preventing heartburn from recurring.
  • Simple to use: One pill each day can provide 24-hour relief from heartburn and acid reflux.

How to Use Nexium (Esomeprazole)?

  • Determine Your Dose: Standard doses are normally 20mg or 40mg, but your doctor will prescribe the appropriate dose for you based on your condition.
  • Timing: Nexium is best taken at least one hour before a meal. This scheduling ensures that the drug is fully absorbed and effective while your stomach is actively producing acid.
  • Swallow Whole: Do not chew, crush, or split the Nexium pill. Swallow it whole, with a glass of water. If swallowing tablets is problematic for you, some Nexium formulations can be mixed with water and consumed as a solution. Check with your pharmacist or doctor for medication-specific advice.
  • Consistency: To achieve the optimum benefits, take Nexium at the same time every day. Consistency helps to maintain an even level of medication in your body.
  • Duration of use: Follow your doctor’s recommendations for how long to take Nexium. Some illnesses require short-term treatment, while others may necessitate long-term use.

Important Safety Information about Nexium

  • Nexium® is suitable for adults and children aged one and up, depending on the disease being treated.
  • To avoid potential interactions, tell your doctor about all of your medical problems and any other medications you’re taking before starting Nexium®.
  • Do not take Nexium® if you are allergic to esomeprazole, magnesium, or any of the other ingredients.
