What is it used for?
Nexium is used for treating the following conditions:
• Heartburn with or without inflammation of the gullet (oesophagus) caused by acid from the stomach escaping into the gullet. Nexium reduces acid production and helps the healing of the gullet by reducing the pain and inflammation.
• Ulcers in the upper part of the intestine or stomach infected with bacteria called Helicobacter pylori. Nexium and the appropriate antibiotics get rid of the infection, which causes the ulcer to heal and prevents the infection and ulcer from re-appearing.
• Healing of stomach ulcers that have been caused by taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as those used in the treatment of arthritis.
• To stop stomach ulcers forming, if you are at risk of developing them whilst taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as those used in the treatment of arthritis.
