A recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) reported on the results of a national study showing that patients treated with Nexium were twice as likely to have a GI bleed than those taking a placebo.
The researchers, from the University of North Carolina School of Medicine, described their findings as “a significant advance” in the prevention and treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
“Our results showed that patients who took Nexium had a lower risk of developing a bleeding bleed compared to those who took placebo, and the results were consistent across both groups,” says Dr. Susan W. Lee, a board-certified gastroenterologist and co-author of the study.
“Nexium, the brand name for esomeprazole magnesium, is an antiretroviral agent used to treat HIV and other neglected tropical and subtropical infectious diseases. These drugs are used to prevent opportunistic infections such as malaria, and patients are often prescribed them for conditions that are not caused by HIV.”
A recent meta-analysis of two randomized controlled trials, one of which compared Nexium to a placebo, reported that patients with GERD who received Nexium had a significantly lower risk of developing a GI bleed than patients on a placebo.
“These findings indicate that long-term use of Nexium for longer periods, compared with the usual care of proton pump inhibitors, is associated with a reduced risk of serious GI bleeding events,” Lee says.
“It is essential that patients receive appropriate medical attention and have a comprehensive risk-reduction plan when using Nexium. Patients who take Nexium for longer periods or who have GI complications, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease or peptic ulcers, should be promptly evaluated for any GI complications.”
The study was published in JAMA, a peer-reviewed medical journal.
The researchers found that patients who took Nexium had a twice-a-higher risk of developing a GI bleed than those taking a placebo. The researchers also concluded that patients who took Nexium for longer periods and had GI complications were at higher risk for developing a bleed than those who had a placebo.
“A study of more than 400 patients showed that patients treated with esomeprazole magnesium were twice as likely to have a GI bleed than those on a placebo, and there was also a statistically significant interaction between Nexium use and treatment group,” Lee says.
“The authors noted that their analysis did not account for the differences in the type and severity of the GI complications associated with Nexium treatment. They found that patients treated with esomeprazole magnesium had a significantly lower risk of developing a GI bleed than those on placebo. This finding suggests that long-term use of esomeprazole magnesium is associated with a reduced risk of GI complications.”

Nexium Control provides a range of gastro-resistant tablets for treating symptoms of heartburn, acid reflux and ulcers. Nexium Control is used for 14 days following a single ingestion of food. Do not take Nexium Control more often than every 4 to 6 hours, unless directed by a doctor. Do not give more doses to a patient for any reason, even if they have reflux symptoms.
Nexium Control is used to treat symptoms of heartburn, acid reflux and ulcers. It contains esomeprazole, which is used to treat these symptoms. Do not take Nexium Control if you have ever had an allergic reaction to esomeprazole, or any of the ingredients in ingredients like epinephrine. epinephrine is a painless solution for acute heartburn, and it works quickly and painlessly. Do not take Nexium Control if you are taking acid reducer or sucrose. Acid reducer may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time. In contrast to epinephrine, acid reducer may take longer to work and have less effect on the stomach than sucrose. The dose is determined by the doctor based on efficacy and tolerability. Do not give to children or pregnant patients. Precautions: Keep out of reach of children and children under the age of 18 years. Esomeprazole may cause increased stomach acid production, which may cause symptoms such as heartburn, acid regurgitation, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

Do not take medicine if the seal on the medicine does not show. Keep out of reach of children and children under the age of 18 years. Do not use if the blister on the pack is torn or shows signs of tampering. This medicine should be used with extreme caution in patients with bleeding problems.

It may also be helpful in patients with ulcers or stomach bleeding due to a disorder of the esophagus or stomach. It can irritate the stomach, and it may impair absorption of the medicine.
