Safely Buy Nexium (Esomeprazole) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Description

What is Nexium?  

Nexium 24hr is a prescription medicine that is used to treat stomach and esophageal issues including acid reflux and ulcers. Esomeprazole is one of the active Nexium ingredients. This medicine reduces stomach acid production, which relieves heartburn, trouble swallowing, and a persistent cough. Adults usually take Nexium 20mg or Nexium 40mg.  

Nexium vs. Prilosec 

This medication has one isomer, whereas Prilosec has two. Nexium digests more slowly as a result, keeping it active for longer. Because it is metabolized differently by the liver, it has less adverse effects.  

Usage and Dosage  

This medicine is used once a day, one hour before eating. This medication dosage and duration are determined by the patient’s condition and reaction. Change the dosage or frequency only after talking with your doctor. This drug may take up to four days to completely act; it will not work straight away.  

If you use the over-the-counter form of this medicine to self-medicate, read the instructions and ingredients on the box carefully. If you’ve had heartburn for more than fourteen days or have been taking medicines for more than four months, talk to your doctor since the chance of adverse effects increases.  

Do not chew or crush the pill; instead, consume it whole.  

Even if you feel fine, finish the entire therapy. If you’re self-treating, don’t take it for more than 14 days unless your doctor says otherwise.
