Over-The-Counter Medications Help To Relieve Your Symptoms
Before you run out and buy Esomeprazole 20 mg generic nexium, you should be aware that all of the over-the-counter drugs are specifically designed to treat a certain heapth problem. Once there, you should find an over-the-counter product that will almost certainly scratch your needs. It's very important to learn how these prescription and over the counter products work and what ingredients should you look for.
Generic Nexium is prescribed to treat the symptoms of acid reflux disease, which typically include persistent heartburn on 2 or more days per week, despite treatment and change of diet. Nexium contains esomeprazole, the active ingredient, which is a type of medicine called a proton pump inhibitor. For many people, Generic Nexium is also prescribed to heal damage to the esophagus called erosive esophagitis. This damage may be caused over time from stomach acid wearing away the lining of the esophagus.

What does Generic Nexium do?
Nexium Generic works by preventing the overproduction of gastric acid in your stomach. When the proton pumps in your stomach (of which there are billions) create too much acid, then when the stomach opens and closes (during eating) to let food in, some of the acids escape from the lined stomach into the unlined esophagus. Since the esophagus is unlined, there is no protection against the burning acid, and that is why people with too much acid experience heartburn, an uncomfortable and often painful burning sensation up and down the esophagus. Nexium will reduce your risk of overproducing acid, which will in turn reduce your risk of experiencing the painful symptoms of GERD.
Can I take Esomeprazole if I am pregnant?
Esomeprazole is a level B pregnancy category medication. Though this is generally regarded as a relatively safe level, if you are pregnant, think you are pregnant, or are nursing, you should consult with your doctor before taking Esomeprazole (Nexium Generic).
