Nexium - Summary

Nexium, containing esomeprazole magnesium, is a medication in the treatment of some cases of gastrointestinal reflux disease as well as other conditions caused by acid balance disorders.

What Is Nexium Used For?

Nexium belongs to a class of medications known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). Like the similar medications dexlansoprazole (Dexilant), omeprazole (Prilosec) and pantoprazole (Protonix), Nexium blocks the ATPase involved with H+ / K+ movements in the parietal cells of the stomach. The inhibition involves a molecule known as sulphenamide that is produced by protonation in acidic regions in the parietal cell. In doing so, Nexium impairs the last step in acid production, blocking the secretion of gastric acid and reducing the overall acidity in a dose-dependent manner. As a result, Nexium is used in some cases of gastroesophageal reflux disease (i.e. acid reflux, H. pylori treatment and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.

Nexium coupons may be available online or through the manufacturer for people paying out of pocket.

Nexium is available in capsule form as Nexium 20 mg and Nexium 40 mg delayed-release capsules. Nexium is also available as a delayed-release oral suspension containing Nexium 2.5 mg, Nexium 5 mg, Nexium 10 mg, Nexium 20 mg and Nexium 40 mg. The starting Nexium dose in adults is typically Nexium 20 mg for 4-8 weeks and the dose may be titrated based on the patient's health needs. Ultimately, the Nexium dosage used depends on the judgement of the prescribing medical provider.

In the plasma, most the active ingredients in Nexium tablets are found bound to proteins.
