Drug Cards Daily | Episode #38: esomeprazole (Nexium) | Get Stomach Acid and H. pylori Infection Under Control

Esomeprazole is available over the counter and by prescription. The commonly known brand name is Nexium. Esomeprazole is a substituted benzimidazole proton pump inhibitor (PPI). It comes in a delayed release capsule and as delayed release granule packets. When treating GERD and other hypersecretory conditions a typical dosing range is between 20-40 mg po qd-bid. Esomeprazole is also used as part of a multi-drug regimen for treating H. pylori infection. The mechanism of action behind esomeprazole is through the suppression of acid secretion by inhibiting hydrogen-potassium ATPase. Esomeprazole is the S-enantiomer of omeprazole (Prilosec). Since esomeprazole affects stomach acid it may alter how well other drugs work. For example, absorption of drugs may decrease which may lead to a decrease in efficacy of those drugs. Esomeprazole is best when taken 1 hour before a meal and best if taken before the first meal of the day. If needed, the capsule can be opened.
