Esomeprazole, the active ingredient in Nexium, works by blocking a specific enzyme in the wall of the stomach that produces acid, thereby lowering the amount of acid in the stomach. This action helps in the treatment and prevention of conditions that arise from excess stomach acid. Unlike antacids, which neutralize acid, Nexium reduces the production of acid at the source.

Description

Nexium, known generically as esomeprazole, is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach. It is utilized to treat symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and other conditions involving excessive stomach acid such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Additionally, Nexium is used to promote healing of erosive esophagitis (damage to your esophagus caused by stomach acid) and to prevent gastric ulcers caused by infection with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) or by the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
