Nexium (esomeprazole magnesium)
Nexium has been approved by the FDA for the relief of heartburn and other symptoms associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and for the healing of erosive esophagitis, a potentially serious condition associated with GERD. The FDA also approved Nexium for maintenance of healing of erosive esophagitis and, in combination with amoxicillin and clarithromycin, for the eradication of Helicobacter pylori infection in patients with duodenal ulcer disease.
Nexium is derived from Prilosec (omeprazole). Prilosec contains a racemic mixture of the D- and L- forms (isomers) of omeprazole. Nexium contains only one of the isomers. Both Prilosec and Nexium are known as proton pump inhibitors.
As many as 25 million adults experience heartburn on a daily basis. Although heartburn is the most common symptom of GERD, the condition is also often marked by other symptoms - such as a sour taste in the mouth or difficulty swallowing - related to the backing up of harsh stomach acid into the esophagus. When this acid reflux damages the lining of the esophagus, it may lead to a potentially more serious condition called erosive esophagitis that can lead to narrowing or ulceration of the esophagus.
