General Info:

Nexium (Esomeprazole) decreases the amount of acid produced in the stomach. Nexium (Esomeprazole) is used to treat symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and also to promote healing of erosive esophagitis (damage to your esophagus caused by stomach acid). Nexium (Esomeprazole) may also be given to prevent gastric ulcer caused by infection with helicobacter pylori, or by the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

Do not use Nexium (Esomeprazole) if you have an allergy to a benzimidazole medication such as albendazole (Albenza) or mebendazole (Vermox).

Seek emergency medical attention if you think you have used too much Nexium (Esomeprazole). Symptoms of an Nexium (Esomeprazole) overdose include confusion, headache, drowsiness, blurred vision, fast heartbeat, nausea, dry mouth, sweating, flushing, shortness of breath, tremor, loss of coordination, or seizure (convulsions).
