One tablet daily, lasting 24 hours — a completely different approach from antacids that neutralise acid after the fact. 14 tablets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow a PPI differs from an antacid\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAntacids and alginates work in minutes and wear off in hours, which suits occasional heartburn.

Many people keep both.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to take\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdults 18+: one tablet daily, swallowed whole with water, ideally before a meal. It may take 2–3 days for full effect. Take a course of up to 14 days; if symptoms persist, see your GP.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePPIs interact with several medicines — including clopidogrel — so run it past our pharmacist if you take anything regularly. And frequent heartburn beyond a fortnight, difficulty swallowing or weight loss should be properly investigated rather than managed indefinitely.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nexium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58052501143939,"sku":"3883139","price":9.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1006\/9282\/0355\/files\/71ShgUwGjrL._AC_SL1500.jpg?v=1787060110","url":"https:\/\/www.stockmymedicine.co.uk\/products\/nexium-control-14-pack-3883139","provider":"StockMyMedicine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
