Research Notes on How Nexium Treats Erosive Esophagitis
Nexium treats acid reflux and heals erosive esophagitis, a condition in which the lining of the esophagus is damaged. An estimated one in three people with acid reflux disease develop erosive esophagitis, in which stomach acid begins to erode the inner lining of the esophagus. Symptoms of acid reflux disease and erosive esophagitis are similar and may include chronic heartburn, acid regurgitation, a sour or bitter taste in the mouth, and difficulty swallowing. In clinical trials, Nexium, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), healed erosions from erosive esophagitis in 4 to 8 weeks.1
