Indications
Nexium Granules for oral suspension are used to treat symptoms of conditions that involve excessive stomach acid including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. The medication is also used to support healing from erosive esophagitis.
Esomeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that helps reduce the amount of stomach acid your body produces. This action helps relieve symptoms like heartburn, trouble swallowing, and cough while also healing damage to your stomach or esophagus from acid. When taken daily, Nexium Granules help improve conditions involving excessive stomach acid production while preventing ulcers and damage to both your stomach and esophagus.
Dosage and Administration
The dose of Nexium Granules that is prescribed will vary depending on the individual and condition being treated. Follow all your healthcare provider’s instructions and read packaging labels carefully to ensure the best results from treatment. Do not take more than prescribed more often than recommended.
