Nexium

Nexium is a medication that reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach.

It provides symptomatic relief from a number of conditions, like:

• gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD)
• peptic ulcers
• Zollinger-Ellison syndrome

You can buy Nexium 40mg tablets online from euroClinix if you have been prescribed this treatment by your doctor. We also offer the generic form, esomeprazole.

The active ingredient in Nexium is called esomeprazole. Esomeprazole, which belongs to a group of medications called proton pump inhibitors, works by inhibiting the acid-producing portion of cells in the stomach, called proton pumps.

This decreases the amount of acid your stomach makes, preventing an overflow of stomach acid into the oesophagus and reducing uncomfortable symptoms like heartburn and chest pain.

How long does Nexium take to work?

After 2 to 3 days, most people notice their symptoms have started to improve, but in some cases it can take up to four weeks to begin working.

You should take this treatment exactly as your doctor has directed.

Nexium and esomeprazole are available from euroClinix in the form of 40mg tablets. The number of tablets you take and how long you take them for depends on your condition and medical history.

They can be taken at any time of day, with or without food. You should swallow your tablets whole with a glass of water. Do not chew or crush the tablets, as it will affect how well the medication works.

If you have trouble swallowing the tablets, put them into a glass of water, and stir, then drink the water.

It depends on your condition. Some people are prescribed a daily dose, while others may be advised to take Nexium only when they experience symptoms. When taken over the counter, it is intended as a short-term treatment.

On prescription, the recommended treatment length for conditions like gastro-oesophageal reflux disease are usually weeks or months, but depending on your condition, your doctor may advise you to take it for years.

You should always follow your doctor’s advice. If you think you might need to change the dose or frequency of your medication, ask your GP for advice.
