Description

Nexium (generic name: esomeprazole; brand names include: Esomiz / Sompraz / Zoleri / Lucen / Esopral / Axagon / Nexiam) is a type of medicine known as an acid pump inhibitor (also known as a proton pump inhibitor, or PPI) which is used for the treatment of certain conditions caused by too much acid being produced in the stomach.

Since its approval in 2001, Nexium has been prescribed more than 147 million times.

Nexium is prescribed to treat the symptoms of acid reflux disease (GERD), which typically include persistent heartburn on 2 or more days per week, despite treatment and change of diet. By reducing acid production in the stomach, Nexium reduces the amount of acid backing up into the esophagus and causing reflux symptoms. But you still have enough acid to take care of digestion.

Nexium is also indicated for the short-term and maintenance treatment (4 to 8 weeks) of erosive esophagitis. This damage may be caused over time from stomach acid wearing away the lining of the esophagus. With Nexium, most erosions heal in 4 to 8 weeks.

Nexium is also used to decrease the chance of getting an ulcer in people who are taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

It is also used with other medications to treat and prevent the return of stomach ulcers caused by a certain type of bacteria (H. pylori).

Nexium is also used for long-term treatment of conditions (such as Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome) in which the stomach makes too much acid.

In clinical tests, up to 94% of patients were healed with Nexium.

Recommendations

Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take Nexium exactly as directed.

Take Nexium at around the same time(s) every day.

Nexium is usually taken once a day at least 1 hour before a meal. When Nexium is used to treat some conditions in which the stomach makes too much acid, it is taken twice a day.

Swallow the capsules whole; do not split, chew, or crush them. If you cannot swallow the capsule, put 1 tablespoon of cool, soft applesauce in an empty bowl. Open one Nexium capsule and carefully sprinkle the pellets onto the applesauce. Mix the pellets with the applesauce, and swallow the entire tablespoonful of the applesauce and pellet mixture immediately. Do not chew the pellets in the applesauce. Do not save the pellets and applesauce for later use.

The granules and the contents of the capsules can both be given through a feeding tube.

It may take several weeks or longer for you to feel the full benefit of Nexium. Continue to take Nexium even if you feel well. Do not stop taking Nexium without talking to your doctor.

If you forget to take Nexium, take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.

Store this medicine at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture.

Precautions

Tell your doctor before taking Nexium, if:

you have an allergy to Nexium or other medicines;
you take a medicine called atazanavir;
you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding.

Ingredients

Active ingredient: esomeprazole magnesium.

Nexium User Reviews

I was diagnosed with Barretts Esophagus about five years ago. I started on Nexium as my first and only medication which stopped my frequent heartburn (sometimes weeks at a time) which I would treat for years with sodium bicarb often unsuccessfully. My last Upper GI showed a smaller area of damage which the Doc said wouldn't happen. I have only had a problem with heartburn if I forget the Nexium and eat something spicy or acidic. I can't say enough about the drug. I feel like it's been a Godsend for me

Purple Who??? Nexium did not touch my GERD. I was taking Vicodin or Hydrocodone to ease my stomach pain which I would rate as severe. After no relief from the Nexium my internist prescribed Protonix. For me it was a minor miracle. With one dose my pain subsided. I had relief and it has not come back. I was given samples for 6 - 8 months and then the VA put me on Aciphex (Rabeprazole). I was worried about the switch but it's doing the trick too. I understand it's very expensive. My HMO prescribed Prilosec to replace the Protonix/Aciphex regimen but I'm not switching just because of cost. The pain was too severe for me to ever go back to something else. In my case Protonix and Aciphex were superior to Nexium and Prilosec both in initial relief and as a maintenance medication in the relief of severe GERD.

Love it Hate it! I tried 40MG Nexium for about 3 weeks. It completely stopped my heartburn for the first time in 20 years! But it also gave me side effects of severe dizziness and facial numbness that sent me to a Neurologist. After discontinuing the side effects went away. I really wish I could take it but it’s not worth the problems.....

Nexium is the only thing that works for me. I have been taking it for years and have had no problems with it. I may have heartburn only when I over indulge in spicey foods (which I love) or when I let myself get stressed, which I try very hard to avoid. I say two (2) tumbs up for that purple pill called NEXIUM. If you have a very bad case of G.E.R.D. (acid reflux), don't let anyone tell you that over the counter junk works, because let me tell you, it does not. If your insurance company does not want to pay for it, have your doctor write a letter to them.
