Nexium Description

Nexium is a PPI or proton pump inhibitor and is used to take care of heartburn, or gastroesophageal reflux. Esomeprazole Magnesium (generic to Nexium) may be used when combined with two antibiotics. This covers the management of duodenal ulcers as well as Helicobacter pylori (H. Pylori) infections. Your doctor may determine what other conditions are treatable.

Nexium Directions

Follow your doctor's directions and consume the medication whole. Don't chew, crush or disintegrate the tablet or capsule.

Use a sealed container to ensure safe storage away from any heat source, light or humidity. Permissible temperatures include anything between 59 and 86 degrees F (15 and 30 degrees C). Do not take two doses at the same time; take your missed dose as soon as you can; skip your missed dose if it is time for the next one.
