Overview

NOTE: After selecting this product, you will need to complete a short assessment, so we can make sure this medication is suitable for you. Pricing is provided as a reference only. The final decision on issuing this medication remains with our Prescriber / Pharmacist.

Nexium contains the active ingredient esomeprazole, which is used to treat acid reflux and similar conditions including gastro oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) and heartburn.

Nexium (esomeprazole) helps prevent reflux symptoms associated with excess stomach acid by inhibiting the activity of certain stomach lining cells that produce acid. 

With a reduction in stomach acid production, this decreases the amount of acid refluxing upwards through the respiratory tract. Nexium works best when taken regularly in a daily dose. 

You can buy Nexium 20mg tablets here at Pharmacy Online. Simply start a consultation with our online doctor to begin your prescription. Here, you’ll be asked a few simple questions in order to approve your prescription.

FAQ

  • What is Nexium (esomeprazole) used for?

    Nexium is the branded version of the generic esomeprazole, containing the same strength and form. This medicine is part of a group of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) used to treat:

    • Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
    • Ulcers infected with Helicobacter Pylori bacteria
    • Stomach ulcers caused by NSAIDs
    • Acid reflux
    • Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
  • Who shouldn't take Nexium (esomeprazole)?

    Do not take Nexium if:

    • You're allergic to the active substance
    • You've ever had a severe allergic reaction to any other medicines
    • You've ever had an allergic reaction to proton pump inhibitor medicines
    • You're taking medication to treat HIV infections

    Tell your doctor immediately if you have:

    • Severe liver problems including liver failure
    • Severe kidney problems
  • What is the difference between prescription and over-the-counter Nexium?

    Prescription and over-the-counter Nexium both contain the same active ingredients to tackle acid reflux and work in the same way.

    However, over-the-counter medications may contain a lower dosage. You can get a prescription for Nexium 20mg here at Pharmacy Online.

  • Is Nexium Safe?

    Long-term use of Nexium capsules can increase the likelihood of adverse side effects. These can include an inflamed stomach lining and stomach ulcers.

    Your doctor can advise you on the best-recommended dosage period to treat your condition. It is generally recommended that Nexium is not taken for more than 14 days at a time.

    Nexium can hide symptoms of other diseases, so speak with your doctor immediately if you experience:

    • Black stools
    • You lose weight unexpectedly
    • Problems swallowing
  • How do you take a proton pump inhibitor?

    Proton pump inhibitor medicines should be taken on an empty stomach, about 30 minutes to one hour before eating breakfast, to provide acid reflux relief. Take a missed dose as soon as you remember, unless it's less than four hours until your next dose, in which case don't.

  • How long will I have to keep taking PPIs?

    PPIs are generally supposed to be taken for two to eight weeks, depending on the condition being treated.

  • Can I drink alcohol?

    Drinking alcohol while taking PPIs can result in increased adverse side effects and worsening of acid reflux.

  • What time of day to take Nexium?

    Nexium can be taken at any time in the day, as long as it is taken consistently at the same time each day.

    You should aim to take Nexium at least one hour before a meal to allow for maximum absorption. This medication is usually best taken before breakfast, lunchtime or in the evening.

    You can buy Nexium 20mg here at our UK pharmacy, Pharmacy Online. Arranging your prescription is easy, simply start an online consultation with our online doctor. Once ordered, we deliver your prescription straight to your door. All medicines can be sent with next day delivery.
