About Nexium
Heartburn, also called Acid Reflux or GERD, can be a serious condition if left untreated. Untrated, it has the potential to wear away the lining of the esophagus.
Millions of Americans suffer from frequent heartburn. Nexium, taken once daily, often provides complete relief from acid reflux disease.
