Esomeprazole
Esomeprazole is generic Nexium. Esomeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to treat heartburn, or gastroesophageal reflux. It may be used in combination with two antibiotics to treat Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection and duodenal ulcers. It may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor.Each acid-producing cell contains millions of acid pumps. Esomeprazole works by decreasing the acid produced by these acid pumps. As you can see in this drawing, NEXIUM turns off (deactivates) some of the pumps to keep acid production under control. By reducing acid production in the stomach, Esomeprazole reduces the chance of acid backing up into the esophagus and causing reflux symptoms.
