Nexium Information
Nexium is also called esomeprazole magnesium. It is in the group of medicines called proton pump inhibitors. So it works by reducing the amount of acid that is produced in the stomach. Hence, Nexium is prescribed for treatment of GERD (Gastroesophageal reflux disease, zollinger-Ellison syndrome and erosive esophagitis. Nexium can be prescribed when there is need to prevent another gastric ulcer caused by a H.pylori infection. If taken for heartburn, Nexium will not provide immediate relief.

Make sure you take Nexium the way your doctor prescribes it. Don’t exceed the required dose or duration of use.
Take your medicine with a full glass of water, equivalent to 8 ounces. Take it in an empty stomach or at least one hour prior to having a meal. It should not be crushed, or chewed.

Take it right away without chewing. If using an NG (nasogastric) feeding tube, take your capsule as your doctor shows you.
Generally, you will take Nexium for four to eight weeks. If necessary, your physician might recommend a second round of treatment. If you need to use other medicines with Nexium, follow dosing instructions carefully.
