What is Omeprazole Magnesium

EsomeprazoleThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryEsomeprazole, sold under the brand name Nexium, is a medication used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease, and other disorders related to too much stomach acid. It is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) and works by blocking the production of stomach acid. Esomeprazole is usually prescribed with other antibiotics to help treat _H. pylori_ infections. It is generally safe and effective, but long-term use can lead to some side effects such as an increased risk of bacterial infections and reduced absorption of certain vitamins and minerals. Rapid

Effectiveness

How Omeprazole Magnesium Affects PatientsEsomeprazole is a drug that stops stomach acid from being released. It is used to treat GERD, heal damage to the esophagus, and to prevent ulcers in the stomach. It works by blocking the enzyme (H+/K+ ATPase) on the stomach wall that is responsible for producing acid. Esomeprazole is similar to another antacid, [DB00338], but does not have the same side effects. Taking esomeprazole long-term can lead to some risks, including increased risk of bacterial infections, difficulty absorbing certain vitamins, low magnesium levels, and
How Omeprazole Magnesium works in the bodyEsomeprazole works by blocking the enzyme that produces stomach acid. This enzyme, called the (H+, K+)-ATPase, is found on the surface of stomach cells. When esomeprazole binds to it, it stops the enzyme from creating acid. This effect lasts longer than 24 hours, and new enzyme needs to be produced for acid production to resume.

Omeprazole Magnesium for Condition in which Stomach Acid is Pushed Into the Esophagus
I was taking one 20ml tablet a day and it didn't seem to be doing much. I then started taking two pills each day, one in the morning and one at night. However, after a couple of weeks on this higher dosage, I started experiencing some pain on the left side of my back. Once I stopped taking the pills, the pain went away.
