Drug Uses

Nexium is used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a condition in which backward flow of acid from the stomach causes heartburn and injury of the esophagus (food pipe between the mouth and stomach). Nexium is used to treat the symptoms of GERD, allow the esophagus to heal, and prevent further damage to the esophagus. It is also used with other medications to prevent stomach ulcers. Nexium is in a class of medications called proton pump inhibitors. It works by decreasing the amount of acid made in the stomach.

How Taken

Nexium comes as a delayed-release (long-acting) capsule to take it orally. It is usually taken once a day at least one hour before a meal. To help you remember to take Nexium, take it around the same time every day. Swallow the capsules whole; do not split, chew, or crush them. If you cannot swallow the capsule, put one tablespoon of cool, soft applesauce in an empty bowl. Open one Nexium capsule and carefully sprinkle the pellets onto the applesauce. Mix the pellets with the applesauce, and swallow the entire tablespoonful of the applesauce and pellet mixture immediately. Do not chew the pellets in the applesauce. Do not save the pellets and applesauce for later use.

Warnings/Precautions

Before taking Nexium, tell your doctor if you have ever had any type of liver disease. You may not be able to take Nexium, or you may require a dosage adjustment or special monitoring. Nexium is in the FDA pregnancy category B. This means that it is unlikely to harm an unborn baby. Do not take Nexium without first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant. It is not known whether Nexium passes into breast milk. Do not take Nexium without first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby. Serious and occasionally fatal hypersensitivity (anaphylactic) reactions have been reported in patients on penicillin therapy. These reactions are more apt to occur if you have a history of penicillin hypersensitivity and/or a history of sensitivity to multiple allergens. Pseudo membranous colitis has been reported with nearly all antibacterial agents, including clarithromycin and amoxicillin, and may range in severity from mild to life threatening. Therefore, it is important to consider this diagnosis in patients who present with diarrhea subsequent to the administration of antibacterial agents.

It is a condition where the liquid content of the stomach or the gastric juices usually containing acid and pepsin goes back to esophagus by regurgitation or reflux. In medical parlance, it is known as GERD (Gastro-esophageal Reflex Disease). The acid in the refluxed liquid has the potential to damage esophagus lining causing its inflammation, a condition called esophagitis. Sometimes this liquid coming to esophagus from the stomach may also contain bile refluxed from duodenum into the stomach though the damaging potentials of this bile and pepsin are not well known. Both acid reflux and esophagitis if it occurs are chronic conditions. It however needs to be clarified that while acid reflux is common in most individuals, GERD occurs only when the refluxed liquid level is quite high and contains higher than normal level of acid. The body’s defense mechanism controls the refluxed liquid usually sending them back to the stomach when we are awake and our bodies are in upright position. Also activities like swallowing remove the reflux and the bicarbonate produced by the saliva removes any trace of acid staying back in the esophagus. But this all happens when we are awake. When we sleep, protective mechanisms like gravity, swallowing and salivation do not work much or stop altogether allowing the acid to remain longer in the esophagus causing it more harm.
