The recommended adult dose for Nexium 24HR OTC is one 20mg delayed-release capsule once daily. Take it at the same time each day, preferably in the morning, with or without food. This dose is suitable for most adults experiencing frequent heartburn.
Adjusting Your Dose
Do not exceed one 20mg capsule per day. If your heartburn persists or worsens after 14 days of using Nexium 24HR OTC, consult a doctor. If you miss a dose, simply take your next dose as scheduled. Do not double the dose to catch up.
Specific Considerations
Nexium 24HR OTC is not intended for daily use longer than 14 days. If you need heartburn relief for more than two weeks, a consultation with your doctor is necessary. Do not take this medicine if you are allergic to esomeprazole or any of its ingredients. Always read the patient information leaflet before using Nexium 24HR OTC for complete details.
