Nexium (generic name: esomeprazole) is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach. This medication is commonly prescribed to treat conditions related to excess stomach acid, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), erosive esophagitis, and peptic ulcers. By lowering acid levels, Nexium can help alleviate symptoms such as heartburn, difficulty swallowing, and persistent cough associated with GERD. Esomeprazole works by inhibiting the enzyme responsible for producing acid in the stomach, making it beneficial for both immediate symptom relief and longer-term management of acid-related conditions. It also promotes the healing of acid-related damage to the lining of the esophagus, known as erosive esophagitis. Additionally, Nexium is utilized as part of a treatment regimen to prevent gastric ulcers in patients taking NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) who are at increased risk for developing these ulcers. For patients diagnosed with conditions involving excessive acid production, such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, Nexium offers significant relief by managing acid secretion effectively. In Israel, Nexium does not come in a purple capsule, although its formula and ingredients are exactly the same as in Nexium that can be bought in the U.S.

Dosage

For GERD and erosive esophagitis, the typical dosage of Nexium is 20 mg to 40 mg once daily, usually taken for 4-8 weeks. In cases requiring prolonged therapy, the prescribing physician may recommend continued use at a lower maintenance dose. Nexium should not be chewed or crushed, but should be swallowed whole.Usually, it is recommended to take a scheduled dose at least one hour before meals. Nexium capsules can be opened and mixed with applesauce or into a glass of non-carbonated water.

Storage

Store Nexium in a cool, dry place at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Keep the capsules in their original containers, and only remove a capsule shortly before using it. Please read our tips on handling medicine safely.

Questions About Nexium

How long does it take for Nexium to start working?
Nexium begins to reduce acid production shortly after ingestion, with symptom relief often noticeable within one to four days. For some conditions, it may take up to two weeks to reach full therapeutic effect. For GERD, the full treatment course typically lasts 4-8 weeks for complete healing.
Can esomeprazole cause vitamin B12 deficiency?
Long-term use of esomeprazole can lead to a reduction in stomach acid, which may affect the absorption of vitamin B12. This can result in B12 deficiency, especially in patients using esomeprazole for extended periods. Regular monitoring by a healthcare provider can help address this risk.
Can lifestyle changes together with Nexium improve GERD?
Yes, incorporating lifestyle changes such as dietary modifications, weight management, and avoiding triggers like smoking or alcohol can significantly improve GERD symptoms. When combined with Nexium, these changes can help manage symptoms more effectively and may reduce the need for long-term medication.

This text is for informational purposes only. Please consult a doctor or pharmacist before using any medication. 

Read the information leaflet that comes with the medication.

If a sudden allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) occurs after taking Nexium, with symptoms like swelling of the face, tongue, or throat making it difficult to breathe or swallow, or there is wheezing, hives, rash, blistering, or peeling of the skin, call a doctor or 911 right away, or go to an emergency room immediately.

Most people who use Nexium do not experience any adverse side effects. Doctors prescribe this medication because they assess the benefits of such treatment outweigh any likely unwanted effects.

Some of the side effects that have been reported include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, headaches, rash, and dizziness. Consult a doctor right away if you develop persistent diarrhea, abdominal or stomach pain/cramping, fever, or blood/mucus in your stool

Not all side effects are listed here. If these or other unlisted symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare provider or pharmacist.ur doctor for medical advice about side effects.

Esomeprazole is used to treat certain stomach and esophagus problems (such as acid reflux, ulcers). It works by decreasing the amount of acid your stomach makes. It relieves symptoms such as heartburn, difficulty swallowing, and persistent cough. This medication helps heal acid damage to the stomach and esophagus, helps prevent ulcers, and may help prevent cancer of the esophagus. Esomeprazole belongs to a class of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs).

  • What is Nexium used to treat?
    Nexium (esomeprazole) belongs to a group of medicines called proton pump inhibitors. They treat 'Gastroesophageal reflux disease' (GERD) by reducing the amount of acid that the stomach produces.
  • When is the best time to take acid reducer?
    It is usually prescribed to be taken once or twice a day. To minimize side-effects symptoms, it should be taken at least one hour before eating or drinking anything that may cause heartburn. Follow the directions of your doctor or pharmacist, or ask them to explain if you encounter unexpected side effects.
  • What are the symptoms of too much stomach acid?
    Some signs of high stomach acid include abdominal discomfort, especially on an empty stomach; nausea or vomiting; bloating; heartburn; diarrhea; decreased appetite and unexplained weight loss.
  • Is Nexium bad for your liver?
    Nexium is prescribed for patients with heartburn, indigestion or acid reflux. There have been reports of rare cases where its use caused serious liver damage. Severe injury due to esomeprazole is uncommon, and most cases are resolved promptly upon withdrawal of treatment with Nexium.
  • Can you drink alcohol while taking Nexium?
    Alcohol increases the production of acid in the stomach, which creates the need for heartburn medication. If you already take medications like Nexium to treat heartburn and indigestion, doctors advise steering clear of alcohol.
  • How does Nexium compare to H2 blockers for GERD?
    While both Nexium (a proton pump inhibitor) and H2 blockers reduce stomach acid, Nexium provides a longer-lasting reduction in acid production, often making it more effective for severe GERD symptoms. The choice of treatment is typically based on symptom severity and the patient’s response to each medication type.
  • What is the difference between PPIs and antacids?
    PPIs like Nexium work by blocking acid production at the source and are used for longer-term relief and healing, while antacids neutralize stomach acid temporarily and are typically used for immediate, short-term relief. PPIs are generally prescribed for chronic conditions, whereas antacids are often used on an as-needed basis.
  • Is esomeprazole safe to take with other medications?
    Esomeprazole may interact with medications like clopidogrel, warfarin, and certain antifungal drugs. Patients should inform their healthcare provider of all medications and supplements they take to avoid potential interactions and determine if any dosage adjustments or monitoring are required.
