Indication
Nexium 24HR is indicated for the temporary treatment of:
Frequent heartburn occurring 2 or more days per week.
By reducing stomach acid production, the medicine provides prolonged control of frequent heartburn when taken as directed.
Important
Nexium 24HR is not designed for immediate relief of heartburn. Full benefit may require 1–4 days of continuous treatment.
How It Works
Esomeprazole belongs to a class of medicines called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). It works by blocking proton pumps within acid-producing cells of the stomach, thereby reducing the amount of acid released into the stomach.
Unlike short-acting antacids that neutralize acid already present, Nexium 24HR reduces acid production at its source.
