Drug UsesNexium decreases the amount of acid produced in the stomach.
Nexium is used to treat symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and other conditions involving excessive stomach acid such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. It is also used to promote healing of erosive esophagitis (damage to your esophagus caused by stomach acid).
Nexium may also be given to prevent gastric ulcer caused by infection with helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), or by the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
How to useUse Nexium as directed by your doctor.
- Take Nexium by mouth with or without food.
- Take it around the same time every day.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Nexium.
Drug Class and MechanismNexium is a proton pump inhibitor. It works by decreasing the amount of acid produced in the stomach.
Missed DoseTake the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take the medicine at the next regularly scheduled time. Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose.
StorageStore Nexium at room temperature, between 68 and 77 degrees F (20 and 25 degrees C). Store away from heat, moisture, and light. Keep Nexium out of the reach of children and away from pets.

- you are taking an HIV protease inhibitor (e.g., atazanavir).
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.
Important :
- Nexium may cause drowsiness or dizziness. These effects may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use Nexium with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.
- Contact your doctor if you have any symptoms of a bleeding ulcer, such as black, tarry stools or vomit that looks like coffee grounds; or if you experience throat pain, chest pain, severe stomach pain, or trouble swallowing.
- Nexium may interfere with certain lab tests. Be sure your doctor and lab personnel know you are using Esomeprazole.
- Nexium should be used with caution in Asian patients; the risk of side effects may be increased in these patients.
- Nexium should be used with extreme caution in children; safety and effectiveness in children have not been confirmed.
