Nexium is formulated with esomeprazole, a component of the proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) medication class. These drugs function by decreasing the acid production in your stomach. However, the effects are not instantaneous, and it might take 2-3 days of taking Nexium before you observe any improvements.

Nexium is used for managing acid reflux and gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), offering relief from heartburn symptoms, and treating issues related to the stomach and oesophagus. It aids in repairing damage caused by acid reflux in these areas.
Nexium, which is a branded name for the medication Esomeprazole, is available in various forms: as a gastro-resistant capsule, a tablet, or an oral suspension liquid.
Esomeprazole, the main component of Nexium, targets the proton pumps located in the stomach lining. These pumps play a crucial role in generating and releasing stomach acids necessary for digesting food. By diminishing the activity of these pumps, Nexium effectively reduces the production of stomach acids, thereby alleviating symptoms associated with acid reflux and heartburn.
The specific way you should take Nexium varies based on the form you're using. It's crucial to thoroughly read the provided instructions with your Nexium medication before beginning your treatment to make sure you're fully informed on the correct usage. Should you have any queries regarding the administration of Nexium throughout your treatment, feel free to reach out to our clinical team at any moment.
For Nexium capsules: These capsules must be ingested whole since they are designed to resist stomach acid (meaning they won't break down in the stomach but instead get absorbed in the intestines for effectiveness). They can be taken at any time, either with food or on an empty stomach.
For Nexium granules: When taking Nexium as granules, begin by preparing a glass of still water. Adjust the water volume according to the number of granule packets you are using, with the guideline being three teaspoons of water per packet. After pouring the granules into the water, stir the mixture and allow it to sit for a few minutes to thicken. Stir once more before drinking. Ensure you consume the mixture within half an hour of preparation.
Nexium begins to take effect immediately following the first dose, achieving its maximum effectiveness in the bloodstream within 1-2 hours. Clinical studies have demonstrated that consuming food simultaneously with Nexium does not hinder its efficacy.
