Nexium Heartburn Relief
Quell the fire in your chest with Nexium heartburn relief medicines from the CVS online store. Our range of Nexium products helps ease heartburn, gastritis, reflux and other conditions caused by stomach acid, improving your comfort and making it easier for your stomach and throat to heal.
How Fast Does Nexium Relieve Heartburn?
Nexium heartburn relief products feature an active ingredient called a proton pump inhibitor. These medications work by decreasing stomach acid production directly, alleviating the source of heartburn and other painful conditions. While you may begin to feel the effects within a few hours, it can take anywhere from 1 to 4 days for the medication to fully kick in.
Nexium 24HR capsules produce long-lasting relief of heartburn with just one pill and may be the best product to aid recovery from conditions such as gastritis or stomach ulcers, where continuous relief is necessary to allow healing. If you need quicker effects or only experience heartburn occasionally, an antacid may be a good alternative. These products neutralize stomach acid without affecting its production, easing symptoms rapidly within a few minutes and providing relief for up to several hours.
Is Nexium Good for Acid Reflux?
Acid reflux is a condition where stomach acid manages to travel up your throat, causing a burning sensation, sour taste and other symptoms, such as hoarseness, coughing and difficulty swallowing. Most people experience occasional reflux, but if it happens frequently or causes severe symptoms, you may need to take medication to treat it.
Generally, while antacids are effective for acid reflux, longer-lasting medications, such as the esomeprazole in Nexium products or famotidine in many other popular acid blockers, are required to keep symptoms away and give your throat a chance to heal. People commonly take Nexium for acid reflux, and the product is highly effective, but your doctor may also prescribe other treatments or give lifestyle recommendations to help you manage the condition.
When to Take Nexium?
Take Nexium according to the instructions on the package or as recommended by your doctor or pharmacist. Over-the-counter Nexium 20mg tablets provide relief lasting up to 24 hours with a single pill, but your physician may advise taking a prescription product, such as esomeprazole 40mg, if you require a higher Nexium dosage for effective relief.
See your doctor if symptoms persist despite taking Nexium and making lifestyle changes. Most people experience heartburn or reflux sometimes, but chronic symptoms may indicate an infection, ulcer or other underlying condition that you can treat directly to resolve the discomfort.
