Esomeprazole: Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, and More

Esomeprazole Magnesium is a prescription proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to treat acid-related conditions such as GERD, erosive esophagitis, peptic ulcers, and Zollinger–Ellison syndrome. It reduces stomach acid by blocking acid-producing enzymes, promoting healing of the esophagus and stomach lining. Nexium is also used with antibiotics to treat H. pylori infections and is available in lower over-the-counter doses for short-term heartburn relief.

Controlled Substance Warning

Esomeprazole is not a controlled substance. It should be used exactly as directed, whether prescribed or over the counter. Long-term or high-dose use may increase the risk of bone fractures, kidney issues, vitamin B12 deficiency, and certain infections, so ongoing use should be regularly reviewed with a healthcare provider.
