If your life is disrupted by frequent heartburn (twice a week or more), preventing you from sleeping, or eating and drinking the things you like, NEXIUM Control can help. 

NEXIUM Control tackles heartburn at the source. With one pill each morning, you can experience 24hr protection from frequent heartburn. Heartburn is caused by stomach acid rising up into the oesophagus. 

Today, many frequent heartburn sufferers rely on antacids or alginates to manage their symptoms. Antacids and alginates target the acid in the stomach once it has been formed. Whilst these treatments provide fast relief, they do not deliver the sustained protection that frequent sufferers would like. 

NEXIUM Control is different, regulating acid production in your stomach right at the source Nexium Control could make you forget all about your heartburn, with one pill each morning, you can experience 24hr protection from frequent heartburn.

How to Take


Just take one tablet of Nexium Control in the morning and it gets to work within an hour. Some people could experience protection from heartburn that day or by the evening. Full effect could take 2 to 3 days.

Remember to start each day by taking your Nexium Control pill. By day two to three, you should feel a real difference in your symptoms and even feel better as the day goes on.

If you suffered from restless nights due to heartburn, your sleep should be improving, Nexium Control is clinically proven to relieve night-time heartburn for a good night’s sleep. You should have up to 24hr protection, so you can just get on with your day.

By now, you should be completely protected. You can sleep better at night and eat well during the day, feeling like yourself again. And once you feel completely free of heartburn, you can stop taking the product.

If your symptoms of heartburn do come back, you should seek advice from a Pharmacist or GP.

If you take Nexium Control treatment for 14 days and see no change in your symptoms, consult your GP as soon as possible.
