Nexium 10mg Sachets contain Esomeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). This medication provides physiological support by reducing the secretion of gastric acid. It works by specifically inhibiting the enzyme system in the gastric parietal cells, allowing for the healing of acid-related mucosal damage and relief from symptoms like heartburn.
