Nexium tablets and Esomeprazole and Magnesium have been shown to prevent heartburn in people who are taking certain medications, the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) has found.

However, a new study suggests that these drugs may not protect against heartburn, the findings of which are based on the analysis of the data.

The NICE data was published in the journal.The researchers looked at the medical records of more than 10,000 people taking Nexium and Esomeprazole tablets in the UK between 2011 and 2021.

Nexium, the active ingredient in Nexium, is used to treat heartburn in adults and children over the age of four. It is the only drug approved for adults and children over the age of four. It is not available on the NHS.The researchers found that patients taking Nexium were at a higher risk of heartburn than patients taking a placebo.The researchers also found that patients taking Nexium were more likely to have heartburn within the first four weeks of treatment, while patients taking a placebo were less likely to have the condition at this point.

Nexium was shown to be associated with an increased risk of heartburn in people, and Esomeprazole was associated with an increased risk.

However, the researchers also noted that the number of heartburn episodes in people taking Nexium or Esomeprazole were not high enough to cause any harm. In fact, the study found that people taking Nexium had more than twice the risk of having more than one heartburn episode within the first four weeks of treatment.

The study also found that people taking Esomeprazole were at a greater risk of heartburn when compared with those taking a placebo.

It is available on the NHS, but not in pharmacies.
