Nexium 40 mg (Uk) contains esomeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that lowers the amount of acid produced in the stomach.
What It Is Used For
• GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease): Treats acid reflux, heartburn, and damage to the food pipe (erosive esophagitis) in adults and adolescents aged 12 and older.
• Stomach and Gut Ulcers: Helps heal ulcers caused by Helicobacter pylori (often paired with antibiotics) or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
• Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome: Treats conditions causing excessive stomach acid production.
• Ulcer Rebleeding Prevention: Used for prolonged treatment after intravenous therapy to prevent stomach or gut ulcers from rebleeding.
NB: Only this won't treat your ulcer, you need antibiotics to be prescribed by a qualified doctor or pharmacist.
