What is Nexium?
Nexium works by decreasing the amount of acid produced in the stomach. The active ingredient esomeprazole magnesium is considered a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) type of medication. It is used to treat esophagus and stomach problems such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD). It can also be used to decrease the chance for developing ulcers in patients taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) or if they have helicobacter pylori.

How is Nexium used?
Nexium should be taken as directed by a doctor, usually 1 to 2 times per day. The tablets should be taken orally with plenty of water at least 1 hour before a meal. Dosage and length of treatment will depend on the condition being treated and the patient’s response to the medication, contact a doctor for the correct dosage. The tablets should be swallowed whole and not crushed, broken or chewed to prevent too much of the drug from being released at one time.
