Nexium 24HR Acid Reducer Heartburn Relief Capsules for All-Day and All-Night Protection from Frequent Heartburn, Heartburn Medicine with Esomeprazole Magnesium - 42 Count

First of all, I am so pleased this is finally available over the counter. My options were limited before, the long-acting omeprazole made me so nauseous that I couldn't even complete the 7-day course. Now I take Nexium every day for esophageal ulcers which are permanent and make it impossible to eat anything at all without medication because of the unbearable pain. Before Nexium was OTC I just relied on famotidine and ranitidine every four hours. Having to take these pills so frequently was annoying, and if I missed one on accident, the pain came right back with a vengeance. They also didn't work all night so I would wake up from the pain. Now I can take one Nexium pill and nearly all the time it keeps all the pain at bay, all day. It is so good I even forget that I have this horrible problem in my esophagus. Sometimes I have to take it twice a day depending on what I eat, or supplement it with a famotidine or ranitidine if I drink any alcohol or eat any food that the Nexium can't battle, although I really try and stay away from triggering foods. It is a lower dose than the prescription, so it is possible you may have to double up if you have a severe condition like mine. The price at the drug stores and grocery stores is ridiculous, everyone is trying to capitalize on the fact that it is finally OTC and so many people take it. It is much cheaper on Amazon, I buy one pack every month and will continue to do so. The pack has 42 pills, but I do take extras sometimes so it is a good month supply with a few pills left as back-up if needed. It is a miracle drug, haven't had any side effects. Would highly recommend, and would suggest buying it here to save major money.

I tried these for my acid reflux. It really works. It only took a day for it to work for me but the directions say it can take up to 4 days for it to kick in. No longer do I suffer from acid backing up into my throat when going to bed. It’s amazing.

Good 👍

Good heartburn preventative care and a lot less expensive than the name brand products. Works just as well

Just what I ordered

The only thing that works for heartburn, stomach issues. As long as you do the 14 days and not have coffee, and no spicey foods then this works. It's worked for me and my wife. Great product!

It is just what it says it is.

NEXIUM is an amazing medication. I am not a big proponent of taking drugs, and I would rather find a "natural" approach to health, but when something works, you cannot knock it. I have GERD, and I would wake up in the middle of the night gasping for air, after aspirating food, and acid, into my lungs. This is a very scary situation, and you know what I mean, if you have ever experienced it. It literally feels like you have Pneumonia. I would also have a nagging cough, especially for a couple of hours after eating. After an Esophageal Endoscopy, my doctor discovered that I had erosion of the Esophagus, but luckily no cancer. My doctor prescribed Nexium to me, and I have never looked back. After 2 years on this medication, the erosion in my Esophagus has healed (actually healed after 6 months), shown by a follow-up Endoscopy. I no longer wake up in the middle of the night gasping for air . I do try to avoid acidic, starchy, and fried foods, and that helps, but nobody is perfect. I still like to have an occasional "treat". I also try not to eat late at night, before going to bed. I did all of this before taking Nexium, and it helped somewhat, but I would still occasionally wake up in the middle of the night, with food, and acid in my lungs. Now that I am on Nexium regularly, I have none of these episodes at night. The relief is amazing. I take Nexium daily. I started out on 40MG, but now take a daily maintenance dose of 20MG, and it works great. The warnings say that there are side effects, mainly brittle bones, but I have not experienced any of those, as of yet. The medication also says to only take it 14 days at a time. My doctor says that is total BS, and is just lawyer speak, to protect the drug companies. He said he has patients that have taken Nexium daily for 10 or 20 years, with no ill effects. Now remember that not all people react the same way to all medications, and what works for some people, may not work for others. You also may, or may not, experience any of the listed side effects. However, if you are experiencing debilitating GERD, I would highly recommend consulting your doctor about Nexium. It could make a huge difference in your life. I know it has in mine, and I would HIGHLY recommend taking Nexium, if it will help your individual situation.
