Data from a randomized, open-label, comparative, 5-treatment, 5-way crossover
study comparing mean pharmacodynamic parameters in patients with GERD treated
for 5 days with at least a 10-day washout period. *NEXIUM 20 mg was not
evaluated in this study. †All pair-wise comparisons vs
NEXIUM. ‡Manufactured by AstraZeneca, Södertälje, Sweden.
The clinical relevance of these ph data has not been established.
The most frequently reported adverse events with NEXIUM are
headache, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Symptomatic response to therapy does not
preclude the presence of gastric malignancy. As with all PPIs,
patients treated concomitantly with warfarin may need to be
monitored for increases in INR and prothrombin time.
NEXIUM should be used only for the conditions, dosages, and durations specified in the
Prescribing Information. Before prescribing NEXIUM, please see accompanying
full Prescribing Information
