Nexum 20 mg Capsule ~ 1 Strip

Product Overview

Nexum 20 is designed to provide powerful, sustained relief from acid-related gastrointestinal disorders. By inhibiting the acid-producing proton pumps in the stomach lining, it effectively lowers overall gastric acid secretion. It is widely relied upon for treating painful symptoms of GERD, healing acid-induced damage to the esophagus, and preventing stomach ulcers caused by continuous NSAID usage or bacterial infections.

Key Indications

·       Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Treats painful acid reflux, severe heartburn, and associated chest discomfort.

·       Erosive Esophagitis: Heals and prevents inflammation, irritation, or ulcers in the food pipe caused by chronic acid exposure.

·       Peptic & Duodenal Ulcers: Assists in the healing of gastric ulcers and prevents them from returning.

·       H. pylori Eradication: Used alongside prescribed antibiotics to eliminate Helicobacter pylori bacterial infections in the gut.

·       NSAID-Induced Ulcer Prevention: Protects the stomach lining for patients who must take long-term pain relievers or anti-inflammatory drugs.

Key Benefits

·       Sustained Acid Control: Provides long-lasting relief from nighttime acidity and frequent heartburn flare-ups.

·       Promotes Tissue Healing: Reduces stomach acidity to low enough levels for inflamed or eroded stomach and esophageal linings to repair naturally.

·       Trusted Formulation: Utilizes a highly stable, premium-grade Esomeprazole delayed-release system for optimal absorption and therapeutic action.

Dosage & Administration

·       Standard Adult Dose: Generally, 1 capsule (20 mg) taken once daily, or as directed by a registered medical practitioner based on the underlying severity.

·       How to Take: Swallow the capsule whole with a full glass of water. Do not chew, crush, or open the capsule, as this destroys the special delayed-release coating.

·       Timing: For maximum effectiveness, it is highly recommended to take this medication 30 to 60 minutes before your first meal of the day (on an empty stomach).
