DESCRIPTION
Nexium is indicated for the treatment of erosive gastritis (damage to lower esophagus by acid reflux from stomach), moderate to severe heartburn, and reduction in reoccurance of duodenal ulcers. It acts by inhibiting proton pumps (hydrogen ion) in the stomach. This inhibition reduces the amount of acid produced by the stomach.

ORIGINAL USES (ON-LABEL)

MECHANISM OF ACTION
Irreversibly inactivates proton pump in gastric parietal cells, which blocks the final step in secretion of hydrochloric acid; acid secretion is inhibited until additional enzyme is synthesized; inhibits basal and stimulated gastric acid secretion.
