NEXIUM USAGE
Prescription Nexium is a pill for the treatment of
gastroesophageal reflux, also called heartburn or acid reflux. It may be used to
treat other conditions as determined by your doctor.
NEXIUM DIRECTIONS
Take Nexium by mouth at least 1 hour before a
meal or as directed by your doctor. Take each Nexium dose with a full glass of
water. Do not crush, break, or chew the Nexium capsules. If you cannot swallow
the prescription Nexium medicine whole, open the capsule and sprinkle the
contents into a tablespoon of applesauce. The applesauce should not be hot. Mix
Nexium with the applesauce and swallow immediately without crushing or chewing.
The granules from the Nexium capsule must be swallowed whole. Do not store the
mixture for later use. Chewing Nexium or storing it in a mixture with food can
increase the side effects, destroy the medicine, or both. Store Nexium at room
temperature away from moisture and light.

Inform your doctor of your medical history, including
all allergies, especially drug allergies. Tell your doctor if you have liver
disease, high blood pressure or have difficulty swallowing. Consult your doctor
if you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or if you are breastfeeding.
Tell your doctor all prescription medications you are currently taking,
including those available without a prescription. It is especially important
that you tell your doctor if you are taking cilostazol, diazepam, digoxin, iron,
itraconazole, ketoconazole, sucralfate, or vitamins with iron.
