Nexium Control® can provide up to 24 hour protection from heartburn offering an alternative option to short term relief such as antacids and alginates.
Nexium Control® reduces stomach acid at the source to help provide relief, all day and all night. Just one pill a day can continuously prevent heartburn from recurring for up to 24 hours helping to keep you heartburn-free.
