1.  WHAT AXANUM IS AND WHAT 
IT IS USED FOR
WHAT AXANUM IS
Axanum contains two different 
medicines called acetylsalicylic acid 
(aspirin) and esomeprazole.
WHAT AXANUM IS USED FOR 
The two medicines in Axanum are 
used for different things:
•  ACETYLSALICYLIC ACID prevents 
recurrence of heart attacks or 
strokes by thinning the blood. 
In some people it can cause 
stomach ulcers.
•  ESOMEPRAZOLE stops stomach 
ulcers from forming. It belongs 
to a group of medicines called 
“proton pump inhibitors”. 
Esomeprazole works by reducing 
the amount of acid that your 
stomach produces.
Follow your doctor´s advice and if 
you want more information ask your 
doctor or pharmacist.

acid, esomeprazole, or any of 
the other ingredients of Axanum 
(listed in Section 6: Further

pump inhibitor medicines
•  you are taking a medicine
containing nelfinavir (used to
