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

Strived at66.36.Nexium, a combination drug used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in adults, is being marketed under the brand name AstraZeneca. Its purpose is to reduce stomach acid. Nexium works by reducing acidity (too much acid in the stomach) which, when stimulated, leads to stomach ulcers. The drug also lowers the frequency of acid reflux. This reduces stomach acid that can damage the esophagus. This also makes Nexium more effective for treating heartburn.
The drug is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of GERD. It was also approved for the treatment of erosive esophagitis (abdominal stricture). Nexium is also used for proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) in adults.

This medication works by reducing the amount of acid released into the stomach, reducing the frequency of reflux, and helping to alleviate symptoms associated with these conditions.
Nexium should be taken on an empty stomach, but should be taken at least 30 minutes before or 2 hours after taking a meal. Take it with a full glass of water, and avoid taking it with dairy products, calcium-rich foods, or antacids that are rich in calcium. If you take it with food, avoid taking it with it that contains these ingredients. If you take it with a meal, avoid taking it with it that contains these ingredients. To ensure you get the most out of your Nexium treatment, you should not take it more than once per day. To make up for an incorrect dosage, follow your healthcare provider’s instructions or the directions on the label. Taking it for more than one day may lead to an increased risk of developing stomach bleeding. Taking it for more than one day can increase the risk of developing Nexium.
It is important to remember that Nexium is only effective if you take it exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose. Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose.
In addition to taking Nexium for acid reflux or GERD, you should also avoid taking it if you have a history of stomach or duodenal ulcers or bleeding problems. These conditions may be caused by Nexium or other digestive problems. You should not use Nexium if you have a history of stomach ulcers, bleeding problems, or blood clots.
