Nexium: a Gastro-Resistant Medicine for Adults
Nexium (esomeprazole) is a prescription medication used to treat frequent heartburn and acid reflux in adults over 18 years old. It belongs to a class of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). These medications work by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach.
Nexium is available in several strengths, including:
It is important to note that Nexium is not a “proton pump inhibitor” as the name implies. It is a type of medication that causes the release of acid into the stomach.
Nexium is not recommended for use in children under 18 years of age because of potential side effects. It is also not recommended for use in children under 1 year of age because of the risk of stomach bleeding and the possibility of developing ulcers.
If you miss a dose of Nexium, simply skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, don’t take a double dose.
If you are expecting a children’s prescription, it is important to consult a doctor or pharmacist. They will determine if Nexium is right for you and may adjust your dosage if needed.
Important Considerations
