WHAT NEXIUM CONTROL_ _IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Nexium Control
_ _
contains the active substance esomeprazole. It belongs to a group of
medicines called
‘proton pump inhibitors’. They work by reducing the amount of acid
that your stomach produces.
This medicine is used in adults for the short-term treatment of reflux
symptoms (for example,
heartburn and acid regurgitation).
Reflux is the backflow of acid from the stomach into the gullet
(“foodpipe”) which may become
inflamed and painful. This may cause you symptoms such as a painful
sensation in the chest rising up
to your throat (heartburn) and a sour taste in the mouth (acid
regurgitation).
Nexium Control is not meant to bring immediate relief. You may need to
take the tablets for 2-3 days
in a row before you feel better. You must talk to a doctor if you do
not feel better or if you feel worse
after 14 days.

The recommended dose is 20 mg esomeprazole (one tablet) per day.
It might be necessary to take the tablets for 2-3 consecutive days to
