Nexium 40mg Tablet 14s

Esomeprazole belongs to a group of medicines called ‘proton pump inhibitors’. They work by reducing the amount of acid that your stomach produces.

• This medicine is used in adults for the short term treatment of reflux symptoms (for example, heartburn and acid regurgitation).
• Reflux is the backflow of acid from the stomach into the gullet (“foodpipe”) which may become inflamed and painful.
• This may cause you symptoms such as a painful sensation in the chest rising up to your throat (heartburn) and a sour taste in the mouth (acid regurgitation).
• Esomeprazole is not meant to bring immediate relief.

Do not use Esomeprazole:

•  If  you are allergic to Esomeprazole or any of the other ingredients in this medicine
• If you are allergic to medicines containing other proton pump inhibitors (e.g. pantoprazole, lansoprazole, rabeprazole or omeprazole).
•  If you are taking a medicine containing nelfinavir (used to treat HIV infection).
