nexicure 5 mg 28 sachets

Description:

Nexicure 5 mg 28 sachets is a prescription proton pump inhibitor (PPI) medicine containing esomeprazole, designed to reduce excessive gastric acid production in the stomach. It is used in the treatment and prevention of acid-related disorders such as gastric ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and esophagitis. Each sachet contains granules for oral suspension, providing a convenient alternative for patients who have difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules. Nexicure by Zeta Pharm offers effective and sustained control of gastric acidity, helping relieve symptoms like heartburn, acid regurgitation, and epigastric pain.

Indications:

• Treatment of gastric ulcer.
• Treatment of duodenal ulcer (when prescribed by a physician).
• Management of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), including symptomatic GERD with heartburn and acid regurgitation.
• Treatment and healing of erosive oesophagitis.
• Prevention of relapse of healed oesophagitis.
• Relief of upper gastrointestinal symptoms related to hyperacidity such as epigastric pain and burning (as directed by a doctor).
• Prevention and treatment of NSAID-associated gastric and duodenal ulcers in at-risk patients (as prescribed).

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Esomeprazole – 5 mg per sachet (proton pump inhibitor).
• Other excipients: granules for oral suspension (full list of inactive ingredients is not available in the provided information).

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use only as prescribed by your physician or gastroenterologist.
• Typical adult doses for esomeprazole in GERD and ulcers are higher (e.g. 20–40 mg/day); this 5 mg strength is usually used for specific dosing regimens, dose adjustments, or pediatric/low-dose use as directed by a doctor. Exact regimen must be determined by the healthcare provider.
• Route of administration: oral.
• To use a sachet: empty the contents of one sachet into a small glass, add the recommended amount of water (as per package insert), stir well until the granules are dispersed, then drink the mixture. Rinse the glass with a small amount of water and drink again to ensure the full dose is taken.
• It is generally recommended to take esomeprazole before meals, preferably in the morning, unless your doctor advises otherwise.
• Do not chew or crush the granules; they are designed for oral suspension and should be swallowed without chewing.
• Do not exceed the prescribed dose or duration of treatment.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides potent and sustained inhibition of gastric acid secretion by blocking the proton pump (H+ / K+ ATPase) in gastric parietal cells.
• Helps heal and prevent gastric and duodenal ulcers by reducing acid exposure and promoting mucosal recovery.
• Effectively relieves symptoms of GERD such as heartburn, acid regurgitation, and upper abdominal discomfort.
• Reduces the risk of NSAID-associated ulcers in patients who require long-term NSAID therapy (when used under medical supervision).
• Improves quality of life in patients with chronic acid-related disorders by maintaining better control of intragastric acidity compared with standard omeprazole in GERD.
• Convenient sachet form is suitable for patients who have difficulty swallowing solid oral dosage forms.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to esomeprazole, other substituted benzimidazoles, or any component of the formulation.
• Use with caution in patients with severe hepatic impairment; dose adjustment may be required under medical supervision.
• Long-term use of proton pump inhibitors has been associated with an increased risk of bone fractures, vitamin B12 deficiency, hypomagnesemia, and gastrointestinal infections such as Clostridioides difficile; use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary.
• Esomeprazole may mask symptoms of gastric malignancy; if alarm symptoms such as unintentional weight loss, persistent vomiting, dysphagia, hematemesis, or melena occur, further evaluation is required before or during treatment.
• May interact with other medications (e.g. certain antiretrovirals, warfarin, clopidogrel, diazepam, phenytoin); inform your doctor about all medicines and supplements you are taking.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant or nursing; use only if clearly needed and prescribed.
• Consult your doctor before use if you have liver disease, severe kidney impairment, osteoporosis, history of fractures, or electrolyte disturbances.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease without proper medical supervision.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Do not use beyond the expiry date or if the sachet is damaged.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects may include headache, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, flatulence, and dizziness.
• Less common side effects can include dry mouth, skin rash, pruritus, or allergic reactions.
• Serious but rare side effects may include severe allergic reactions (angioedema, anaphylaxis), severe skin reactions, liver function disturbances, hypomagnesemia (manifesting as muscle cramps, palpitations, seizures), and Clostridioides difficile-associated diarrhea.
• Seek immediate medical attention if you experience difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, blood in stool or vomit, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or severe rash.
