Nexium (Esomeprazole) is an antibiotic that is used to treat certain stomach and esophageal conditions. It is commonly used to treat patients with acid reflux, heartburn, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It is also used to treat patients with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
Esomeprazole is an oral medication that is used to treat certain stomach and esophageal conditions. It belongs to a class of drugs called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). By reducing the amount of stomach acid produced, it helps to relieve symptoms of acid reflux, heartburn, and GERD. Nexium is taken orally in this medication, usually once a day.
Esomeprazole contains the active ingredient Nexium. It belongs to a class of medications called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). When you take Nexium, your body adjusts to increase its production of stomach acid. This increased amount of stomach acid causes the cells in your stomach to produce too much acid. Normally, this same body process is needed to get stomach acid to stay rise.
Take Nexium by mouth, with or without food. Take Nexium at least 30 minutes before any activity you are taking to make sure that you are not taking any increase in dose.
To ensure the appropriate amount of stomach acid is produced, take Nexium at about the same time each day. Each time you take Nexium, it works its magic by reducing the amount of stomach acid produced.
Before taking Nexium (Esomeprazole), tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it? If you have any other allergies, especially those that may be listed below. Some drugs in this class may also be associated with an increased risk of developing some side effects. Before taking Nexium (Esomeprazole), inform your doctor or pharmacist of any other medications or supplements you are taking. This includes prescription and nonprescription drugs, vitamins, and herbal products.

Do not take more or less of it or take it if you have questions. A double dose can increase the risk of an overdose. Do not double the dose or take a larger dose.
Drinking alcohol can affect the medication's effectiveness. It is important to drink at least 3 hours before or 6 hours after taking Nexium (Esomeprazole). Limit alcohol intake to avoid worsening side effects such as headache, nausea, stomach ache, and dizziness.
