Information
NEXIUM (the healing purple) is for the treatment of frequent, persistent heartburn symptoms due to acid reflux disease. These symptoms typically occur on 2 or more days per week despite treatment and diet change.
For many people, NEXIUM can also heal damage to the esophagus caused by acid reflux. This damage can occur over time, when acid from the stomach erodes (wears away) the lining of the esophagus. Only a doctor can determine if you have this condition, called erosive esophagitis. Most erosions heal in 4 to 8 weeks. Your results may vary.
