Nexium (Esomeprazole) belongs to a group of drugs called proton pump inhibitors. Nexium is used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and it is also combined with amoxicillin and clarithromycin (Biaxin) for the treatment of patients with ulcers and H. pylori infection. It is also used to reduce the risk of stomach ulcers due to medications known as NSAIDS that irritate the stomach or to treat conditions associated with the overproduction of stomach acid. The usual starting dose of Nexium is 20mg once a day.
