Heartburn is the burning sensation you feel when stomach acid flows up into the esophagus. Certain foods, such as high-fat foods, spicy foods, acidic fruits, chocolate, alcohol, caffeinated drinks, and soda, as well as too much stress, are known to trigger heartburn.
Nexium 24HR is indicated for the treatment of frequent heartburn (two or more days a week). With a once daily dose, Nexium gives you 24-hour relief from frequent heartburn caused by acid reflux. It’s simple to use. Just take one pill before eating in the morning (4).
What can you imagine — waking up refreshed, trying new food on vacation, chocolate cake for two? Just one pill a day offers all-day, all-night protection (4) and reduces sleep interruptions from frequent heartburn (3). Get frequent heartburn off your mind, and live your life to the fullest.
PPIs, or proton pump inhibitors like Nexium 24HR, treat frequent heartburn by blocking the production of acid at the source. PPIs may take 1-4 days for full effect, but remain effective over consecutive doses.
H2s, or histamine blockers, block one of the signals that tell your body to make acid. They start working within 30 minutes and the effects can last for up to 12 hours, but become less effective if used for more than a few days in a row.
Antacids neutralize stomach acid but do not reduce acid production at the source. Antacids work quickly, but effects last for only 1-3 hours after use.
