What Is Esomeprazole Used For?

Esomeprazole, marketed under the name Nexium, is a medication used in helping people with GERD and related conditions (i.e. acid reflux) secondary to medication use, H. pylori treatment, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Esomeprazole, like dexlansoprazole (Dexilant), omeprazole (Prilosec) and pantoprazole (Protonix), belongs to a class of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). As a PPI medication, esomeprazole sodium works to reduce the secretion and concentration of acid in the stomach by interfering with enzymes located in parietal cells of the stomach.
