In short: there’s no single answer to the question of how much acid an individual can expect to see when using Nexium 20mg or any other acid-suppressing medication.
No, Dr. Nocelino Frattini is not recommending these medications for everyone. Rather, he’s focusing on the particular case of individuals who may benefit from using these medications in conjunction with diet and other lifestyle changes.
Frattini, a gastroenterologist with over 15 years of experience in the medication arena, is not recommending these medications for everyone. However, if you’re thinking about using these medications as part of a combination treatment plan, you may want to consider talking to your doctor.
Below, we’ve summarized the evidence behind what Dr. Frattini considers to be the most definitive case of esomeprazole magnesium being prescribed to treat mild to moderate stomach acid-related disorders.
There is some reason to think that mild to moderate stomach acid-related disorders, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), may be more common than they seem.
While mild GERD is more common than it seems, it’s still a relatively common condition, and esomeprazole magnesium has been associated with a small increased risk of developing severe acid reflux disease (a condition characterized by acid in the stomach and throat, which can cause frequent heartburn and reflux).
Furthermore, some studies have shown that those taking esomeprazole magnesium (10 mg once daily) for 14 days may be twice as likely to have GERD than those taking a placebo.
If you’ve ever had difficulty swallowing food, you may have noticed that food moves through your digestive system more quickly than it should, leading to stomach acid reflux.
One of the most significant pieces of evidence behind the evidence-based practice of using esomeprazole magnesium for mild to moderate stomach acid-related disorders comes from the
, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
In one study, people taking esomeprazole magnesium 20 mg twice daily for 14 days were found to have an increased risk of developing severe acid reflux disease, a condition marked by frequent heartburn and reflux. These findings, which were based on the participants’ eating patterns, demonstrated that people taking esomeprazole magnesium for 14 days experienced a significant increase in risk of developing severe acid reflux disease.
In addition to the fact that esomeprazole magnesium is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) for stomach acid, there is some reason to think that it may be less likely to develop severe GERD if individuals take it as part of a combination treatment plan.
In a study of people with GERD who took 20 mg of esomeprazole magnesium twice daily for 14 days, researchers found that those who took 20 mg twice daily had an increased risk of developing severe acid reflux disease compared to those who took placebo. Specifically, the researchers found that those taking 20 mg twice daily had a 17.7% increased risk of developing severe acid reflux disease compared to those who took placebo.
Other studies have also shown that individuals taking esomeprazole magnesium may have a reduced risk of developing a serious condition called chronic acid reflux, which is characterized by frequent heartburn and reflux.
One of the best-known examples of the evidence-based practice of using esomeprazole magnesium as part of a combination treatment plan is the
, which was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in December 2015.
In that study, participants who took 20 mg of esomeprazole magnesium twice daily for 14 days developed chronic acid reflux disease, a condition marked by frequent heartburn and reflux.
This study also included a subset of people who took a combination of esomeprazole magnesium with omeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) for stomach acid, and a medication used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (a condition characterized by frequent heartburn and reflux).
People who took these medications also had an increased risk of developing a more serious condition called chronic acid reflux, which can cause frequent heartburn and reflux.
