This is an excellent treatment for acid reflux, these tablets are easy to swallow and work great in stopping reflux for a couple of days. Though, it seems not to have any effect on burping or gas. So, I'd recommend it for acid reflux, and heartburn relief. As always consult your GP before taking medications (specially OTC).

I have been struggling for years with acid reflux and heartburn. Not a single doctor recommended something like this so I was eating Gaviscon like Tic Tacs whenever I had a drink or a big dinner. I has been over a year and I haven't had any heartburn since I started using these.The downside is the cost. It costs about £20/month to live normally

Works a treat, been suffering from bad heart burn and until I started taking these I was going through packets of other brands, so I would highly recommend these if you do suffer from heartburn etc, remember to read the warming’s though ! !

Suffered with reflux and heartburn for years, lived on Gaviscon. Discovered Nexium about 2 years ago and from day one the heartburn was gone. I honestly would not be without them even though they are a bit pricey they are worth the money. Would highly recommend them.

These are an absolute life saver.

Nothing else works so effectively to completely cure my acid reflux.

You can take them everyday, but try and see how long you can go between doses.
For me, I find that every other day works perfectly.

With me, I start to feel relief within a few hours, but it may take a few days of taking them, for you to feel the real benefit.

These contain Esomeprazole which I find more effective than the tablets containing Omeprazole.

Esomeprazole is processed more slowly by your liver, which means you end up with longer relief. It is also thought to act quicker, although that can be dependent on the individual.

The tablets are slightly smaller than a paracetamol 500mg tablet. They are encapsulated in a gastro-resistant coating and should be easy to swallow for the majority of people.
If you do have problems swallowing pills, you can also get Nexium capsules. These are less than half the size of the tablets.

You mustn't break them in half to half the dose, as this will compromise the gastro-resistant coating and they will start to be broken down in your stomach.
This will make them a lot less effective.

Overall, I can thoroughly recommend these Nexium tablets. They have increased my quality of life tremendously.

One proviso, you shouldn't really take these indefinitely and I strongly recommend that you mention to your doctor that you are taking them, as other treatments could be more suitable.

I hope you found this review helpful.

I had my gallbladder removed 4 years ago, and now and then suffer with acid issues. These little pills of magic are amazing. I don't use them often (a box of 14 can last me 2/3 months) but they works wonders. If I have a rich naughty meal (basically self inflicted!) hours later I start to feel the usual burning - pop goes a Nexium and within 30 minutes I'm perfectly settled. I wouldn't use anything else, worth every penny.

Used ranitidine for years on and off which was often disappointing. This works much better - takes a day to kick in so take at first hint of heartburn. Did a 14 day course and that sorted me out. In combination with a better diet eg no more curries on top of a load of lager, I now only rarely get heartburn. Have popped one on Xmas eve in case I overindulge which is what usually sparks heartburn for me. Will take through to New Year and that will mean no unpleasant heartburn symptoms.

I suffer from occasional heartburn and acid reflux at night.

It's not much fun and with the demise of Ranitidine, most other remedies are at best, only marginally effective. However, these are brilliant and I only need to take one about every 4-5 days to keep things calm.

These tablets aren't cheap but they do the job - I'm chuffed!

These are expensive tablets but after years of trying various different products and realising the previous 'best' - ranitidine - just didn't work for me, I was on the look out for something else. Nexium came along at the right time for me and after reading the medical information on it, I decided to try them. The pack says that it can take a few doses before you get the benefits. Lucky for me I started to see the benefits from day one and have 2 days (and 2 doses) I was virtually free of symptoms. I now take around 1 a week when I start to feel symptoms coming on in a morning. Some weeks I go 2 or 3 weeks without needing any at all. This is a great improvement on the 3 or 4 doses of Gaviscon I was taking a day before.

I had 10 days of really bad stomach pains and swollen stomach following mild covid.

Unable to sleep sort of pain while curled up and wailing...(much to the annoyance of my cats trying to sleep or clamber on me!) that no matter what I tried including painkillers I couldn't ease it. For years I'd previously used colpermin which had always been excellent for stomach pain but that didn't touch this pain. Tried a few different things ordered on line during first lock down, until success! These sorted it.

Since then I've had it return a few times in the last 20 months and I turn to Nexium straight away for relief and gradual reduction of huge swollen stomach, until I can put normal clothes on again and not be doubled over in pain.

Can't comment on effectiveness for heart burn and the other uses as I've not suffered with those symptoms.
