NEXIUM
WHAT
TO KNOW ABOUT NEXIUM
Do not stop taking esomeprazole even if you begin to feel
better. Your symptoms may improve before the condition is
fully treated. Do not break or chew the capsules. Swallow
them whole. They are specially formulated to release slowly
in the body.
WHAT IS NEXIUM
Esomeprazole decreases the amount of acid produced in the
stomach. Esomeprazole is used to treat ulcers, gastroesophageal
reflux disease (GERD or heartburn), erosive esophagitis, and
other conditions involving excessive stomach acid production.
Esomeprazole may also be used for purposes other than those
listed in this medication guide.
HOW TO TAKE NEXIUM
Take esomeprazole exactly as directed by your doctor. If you
do not understand these instructions, ask your pharmacist,
nurse, or doctor to explain them to you. Take each dose with
a full glass (8 ounces) of water. Esomeprazole should be taken
at least one hour before a meal. Follow your doctor's instructions.
Do not break or chew the capsules. Swallow them whole. They
are specially formulated to release slowly in the body. If
you have difficulty swallowing the capsules, one tablespoon
of applesauce can be added to an empty bowl and the esomeprazole
capsule can be opened, and the pellets inside the capsule
carefully emptied onto the applesauce. The pellets should
be mixed with the applesauce and then swallowed immediately.
The applesauce should not be hot and should be soft enough
to be swallowed without chewing. The pellets should not be
chewed or crushed. The pellet / applesauce mixture should
not be stored for later use. Do not stop taking esomeprazole
even if you begin to feel better. Your symptoms may improve
before the condition is fully treated. Store esomeprazole
at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
