Nexium – Treat Heartburn, GERD, and Acid Reflux
Nexium (esomeprazole) is a prescription drug which is generally prescribed by doctors to treat patients suffering from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD or heartburn; acid reflux), ulcers and erosive esophagitis.
How to control Heart Burn:
There are several ways that you can control your heartburn.
- Change your dietary habits
- Take daily calcium supplements
- Talk to your doctor about Nexium
Common GERD symptoms:
The most common symptoms that you will experience from GERD are as follows:
- Acidic feeling in esophagus
- Warming or heating sensation in chest
- Burning in chest near breastbone
- Heat or pain/burning in chest or throat
Difference between Nexium and Prevacid:
Both of these drugs are from a class of drugs called proton pump inhibitors (PPI’s), which block and reduce acid reduction. The only real difference between them is the price that you will pay. Nexium costs less to acquire than Prevacid and has been shown to be more potent.
How does Nexium Work?
This drug works by limiting the amount of acid production in the stomach which contributes to heartburn and acid reflux.
What are Nexium’s Side Effects?
- Headache
- Diarrhea
- Nausea
- Flatulence
- Abdominal pain
- Constipation
- Dry mouth
- In rare cases a serious allergic reaction can occur, which may involve the following symptoms: hives or the swelling of the lips, tongue, or face. If you experience any of these rare yet serious allergic reactions—STOP taking Nexium and seek immediate medical care
Nexium Precautions:

People who currently suffer from liver disease or anybody who is taking drugs that contain digoxin (Lanoxin, Lanoxicaps), itraconazole (Sporanox), ketoconazole (Nizoral), or iron (Feosol, Mol-Iron, Fergon, and Femiron) may not be able to take Nexium.
