Nexium tablets contain esomeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor. They are supplied in 20 mg and 40 mg strengths for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, peptic ulcer disease and erosive oesophagitis. Esomeprazole is the alternative name; AstraZeneca is the originator company.
Esomeprazole lowers stomach acid by blocking proton pumps. Its effect starts within 1–2 hours and lasts about 24 hours. Do not take it with rilpivirine or nelfinavir, or if you are hypersensitive to proton pump inhibitors. It may interact with ketoconazole and clopidogrel. Common effects include headache, abdominal pain, diarrhoea and nausea. Acute interstitial nephritis, Clostridioides difficile-associated diarrhoea and severe hypomagnesaemia are serious effects needing immediate medical attention. If reflux symptoms persist after two weeks, see a doctor.
