Generic name: Esomeprazole
Brand name: Nexium
Why is Nexium prescribed ?
Nexium relieves heartburn and other symptoms caused by the
backflow of stomach acid into the canal to the stomach (the
esophagus), a condition known as gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Nexium is also prescribed to heal the damage (erosive esophagitis)
that reflux disease can cause. Prescribed in combination with
the antibiotics Biaxin and Amoxil, Nexium is also used to
treat the infection that causes most duodenal ulcers (ulcers
occurring just beyond the exit from the stomach). Like its
sister drug Prilosec, Nexium works by reducing the production
of stomach acid.
Most important fact about Nexium
Nexium comes in delayed-release capsules that should be swallowed
whole. Be sure to avoid crushing or chewing the capsules.
How should you take Nexium ?
Take Nexium at least one hour before meals. Be careful to
swallow it whole. If you have trouble swallowing capsules,
you can open the capsule and carefully pour the pellets onto
one tablespoon of applesauce. The applesauce should not be
hot. Mix in the pellets, then swallow the applesauce immediately,
without chewing.
If you miss a dose of Nexium
Take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for
your next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to your
regular schedule. Never take 2 doses at the same time.
Storage instructions for Nexium
Store at room temperature in a tightly closed container.

Special warnings about Nexium
The antibiotics prescribed in conjunction with Nexium for
the treatment of ulcers have occasionally been known to cause
severe side effects and life-threatening allergic reactions.
If you've been prescribed this combination, be sure to check
the entries on Amoxil and Biaxin for more information.
Possible food and drug interactions when taking Nexium
If Nexium is taken with certain other drugs, the effects
of either could be increased, decreased, or altered.
It is especially important to check with your doctor before
combining Nexium with the following:
Diazepam (Valium)
Digoxin (Lanoxin)
Iron salts (Ferro-Sequels)
Ketoconazole (Nizoral)
Warfarin (Coumadin)
There's no problem, however, with combining antacids and
Nexium; no unwanted interaction will result.
Special information if you are pregnant or breastfeeding
The effects of Nexium during pregnancy have not been adequately
studied. If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, check
with your doctor.
Because Nexium is likely to appear in breast milk and could

Nexium or breastfeeding your baby.
