Talk to your doctor about medicines to treat your heart problems.Nexium is a prescription medication used to treat acid reflux (heartburn) and other stomach problems. Nexium helps to prevent the absorption of stomach acid, which is what causes the symptoms. The dosage of Nexium is based on the amount of acid in your body. Typically, Nexium is taken once a day, with or without food. It's important to follow your doctor's instructions and to take the medication as directed. Nexium is available in capsule form and as an over-the-counter (OTC) medication. Some patients may also require a lower dosage of Nexium, which can be adjusted up or down as directed. Patients should only take Nexium if they have any underlying medical conditions such as heart failure, high blood pressure, or liver disease. Before taking any new medication, it's important to tell your doctor if you are allergic to esomeprazole, omeprazole, other stomach medications, or any other medications.
Nexium should not be used by individuals with a known hypersensitivity or allergy to it or any of its ingredients. Patients with known lupus or an autoimmune disease should be cautious if they are taking Esomeprazole.
Pregnancy not only pregnancy is an important safety issue, but it's also a health concern for individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding. The dosage of Nexium is based on the amount of acid in the body, not on the time of the pregnancy. If a pregnant individual misses a dose of Nexium, they should contact their doctor right away.
Nexium can cause some side effects in some people. These side effects are usually mild and go away on their own after a short time. If you experience any of these side effects, stop taking Nexium and contact your doctor right away.
Before taking Nexium, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to esomeprazole, omeprazole, other stomach medications, or any other medications. Also inform your doctor if you are taking any of the following medications: clarithromycin, erythromycin, troleandomyza, paracetamol, or chlorthalidone.

What is Reflux?
Reflux is the backflow of acid from the stomach into the gullet (“foodpipe”) which may become inflamed and painful. This may cause you symptoms such as a painful sensation in the chest rising up to your throat (heartburn) and a sour taste in the mouth (acid regurgitation).
Do I get instant relief from taking a Nexium tablet?
Nexium Control is not meant to bring immediate relief. You may need to take the tablets for 2-3 days in a row before you feel better. You must talk to a doctor if you do not feel better or if you feel worse after 14 days.
How much to take• The recommended dose is one tablet a day. • Do not take more than this recommended dose of one tablet (20 mg) a day, even if you don’t feel an improvement immediately. • You may need to take the tablets for 2 or 3 days in a row before your reflux symptoms (for example, heartburn and acid regurgitation) get better. • The treatment length is up to 14 days. • When your reflux symptoms have completely gone you should stop taking this medicine. • If your reflux symptoms get worse or do not improve after taking this medicine for 14 days in a row, you should consult a doctor. If you have persistent or longstanding, frequently recurring symptoms even after treatment with this medicine, you should contact your doctor. Taking this medicine • You can take your tablet at any time of the day either with food or on an empty stomach. • Swallow your tablet whole with half a glass of water. Do not chew or crush the tablet. This is because the tablet contains coated pellets, which stop the medicine from being broken down by the acid in your stomach. It is important not to damage the pellets.
Alternative method of taking this medicine• Put the tablet in a glass of still (non-fizzy) water. Do not use any other liquids. • Stir until the tablet breaks up (the mixture will not be clear) then drink the mixture straight away or within 30 minutes. Always stir the mixture just before drinking it. • To make sure that you have drunk all of the medicine, rinse the glass very well with half a glass of water and drink it. The solid pieces contain the medicine – do not chew or crush them
