Acid reflux is the backflow of acid from the stomach into the oesophagus (“foodpipe”) which may become inflamed and painful. This may cause you to experience symptoms such as a painful sensation in the chest rising up to your throat (heartburn) and a sour taste in the mouth (acid regurgitation).
Nexium Control contains the active substance esomeprazole. It belongs to a group of medicines called ‘proton pump inhibitors’. These work by reducing the amount of acid that your stomach produces. Just take one tablet of Nexium Control® in the morning and it gets to work within an hour. Some people may experience protection from heartburn that day or by the evening, though please not that full effect can take up to 2-3 days.
Nexium Control is clinically proven to relieve night-time heartburn for a good night’s sleep. Within a week you should have up to 24hr protection, so you can just get on with your day.
