About NEKSIUM 20MG TABLET 15'S

  • NEKSIUM 20MG TABLET 15'S is prescribed for conditions stemming from excessive stomach acid, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. It functions by diminishing acid production in the stomach, alleviating symptoms, and fostering healing. NEKSIUM 20MG TABLET 15'S can also be used prophylactically to prevent stomach ulcers induced by certain medications, notably nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
  • Adhere strictly to your doctor's instructions when taking this medication. Dosage is determined by the specific condition being treated, with the aim of using the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary. Typically, it's administered on an empty stomach, ideally in the morning or at least one hour before a meal. Continue the medication course even if symptoms subside, unless explicitly advised to stop by your healthcare provider. For those on long-term treatment, regular magnesium level monitoring may be required, as prolonged use can lead to decreased levels.
  • Potential side effects include headache, constipation or diarrhea, stomach discomfort, and nausea. These are generally mild, but consult your doctor if they persist or become bothersome. The risk of side effects may increase with prolonged usage. Long-term use may also elevate the risk of bone fractures. It's advisable to avoid foods that exacerbate symptoms, such as rich, spicy, and fatty items. Reducing intake of caffeinated beverages like tea, coffee, and cola, as well as alcohol, may also prove beneficial.
  • NEKSIUM 20MG TABLET 15'S is not suitable for everyone. Disclose to your doctor any pre-existing severe liver conditions, HIV medications, prior allergic reactions to similar drugs, or osteoporosis. While alcohol doesn't directly interfere with the drug's mechanism, it stimulates increased stomach acid production. This medication may induce dizziness, drowsiness, or visual disturbances. If affected, refrain from driving, cycling, or operating machinery until these effects wear off. It is generally not recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

Uses of NEKSIUM 20MG TABLET 15'S

  • Treatment of Acidity
  • Treatment of Gastroesophageal reflux disease (Acid reflux)
  • Treatment of Peptic ulcer disease
  • Treatment of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome

How NEKSIUM 20MG TABLET 15'S Works

  • NEKSIUM 20MG TABLET 15'S is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) medication. Proton pump inhibitors are a class of drugs that work by specifically targeting and inhibiting the proton pumps in the stomach lining. These proton pumps are responsible for producing stomach acid, which is essential for digestion but can also cause problems when produced in excess.
  • By reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach, NEKSIUM 20MG TABLET 15'S effectively provides relief from acid-related indigestion and heartburn. This medication helps to alleviate the discomfort and pain associated with these conditions, allowing the esophagus to heal if it has been damaged by excess acid exposure. It also helps to prevent further irritation and damage to the stomach lining.
  • NEKSIUM 20MG TABLET 15'S offers a targeted approach to managing acid-related issues, helping to restore balance in the digestive system and improve overall comfort.

Benefits of NEKSIUM 20MG TABLET 15'S
default alt

  • Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is a rare condition characterized by the overproduction of stomach acid, leading to the development of peptic ulcers. Common symptoms include persistent abdominal pain, frequent diarrhea, and bothersome heartburn. NEKSIUM 20MG TABLET 15'S plays a crucial role in managing this condition by significantly reducing stomach acid production, thereby providing relief from these distressing symptoms. The medication's ability to control acid secretion not only alleviates immediate discomfort but also promotes the healing of existing peptic ulcers, which are a hallmark of Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
  • Furthermore, by effectively regulating the excessive acid secretion associated with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, NEKSIUM 20MG TABLET 15'S contributes to the overall improvement of digestive health. Maintaining a balanced level of stomach acid is essential for proper digestion and nutrient absorption. The medication also helps in preventing potential complications, such as gastrointestinal bleeding, which can arise from untreated or poorly managed peptic ulcers. Consistent use of NEKSIUM 20MG TABLET 15'S, as directed by a healthcare professional, can significantly enhance the quality of life for individuals living with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, enabling them to lead more comfortable and active lives.

How to use NEKSIUM 20MG TABLET 15'S
default alt

  • Always adhere to your doctor's instructions regarding the dosage and duration of this medication. It is crucial to follow their guidance for optimal results and to minimize potential side effects. Administer the medicine orally, swallowing it whole with a glass of water. Avoid chewing, crushing, or breaking the tablet, as this could affect how the medication is released and absorbed into your system.
  • For NEKSIUM 20MG TABLET 15'S, it is best to take it on an empty stomach, typically at least 30 minutes before a meal. This ensures that the medication is absorbed effectively. Consistency is key, so try to take it at the same time each day to maintain a steady level of the drug in your body.
  • If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one. If you have any questions or concerns about how to take this medication, consult your doctor or pharmacist for clarification.

Quick Tips for NEKSIUM 20MG TABLET 15'S
default alt

  • NEKSIUM 20MG TABLET 15'S is generally well-tolerated and provides long-lasting relief from acidity.
  • To help prevent acidity:
  • Limit your intake of carbonated drinks, citrus juices, fried foods, and caffeinated beverages like tea and coffee.
  • Avoid alcohol and smoking.
  • Don't eat late at night or right before going to bed. Give your stomach time to digest before lying down.
  • If you experience persistent watery diarrhea, fever, or stomach pain that doesn't subside, consult your doctor immediately. These could be signs of an underlying issue that needs medical attention.
  • Long-term use of NEKSIUM 20MG TABLET 15'S can potentially weaken your bones and lead to magnesium deficiency. Ensure you consume enough calcium and magnesium through your diet or supplements, as recommended by your doctor. Consider discussing bone density monitoring with your physician if you are on long-term therapy.
  • Seek immediate medical advice if you notice reduced urination, edema (swelling due to fluid retention), lower back pain, nausea, fatigue, rash, or fever. These symptoms may indicate a kidney problem and require prompt evaluation.
  • For optimal results, take NEKSIUM 20MG TABLET 15'S one hour before a meal, ideally in the morning. This allows the medication to be absorbed properly and effectively reduce acid production before you eat.
  • If you don't feel better after taking NEKSIUM 20MG TABLET 15'S for 14 days, inform your doctor. You might have a different underlying problem that requires a different approach or further investigation. Do not self-treat for prolonged periods without professional medical guidance.
  • Consider elevating the head of your bed while sleeping. This helps to keep stomach acid from flowing up into your esophagus, reducing nighttime heartburn.
  • Maintain a healthy weight. Excess weight can put pressure on your stomach and push stomach acid into your esophagus.
  • Eat smaller, more frequent meals. This prevents your stomach from becoming overly full, which can contribute to acid reflux.
