Nexpro IV Injection commonly known as Nexium, acts by specifically targeting an enzyme in the stomach lining called (H+, K+)-ATPase. This enzyme is crucial for producing stomach acid. Esomeprazole binds to this enzyme, disrupting the final step in acid production. As a result, it effectively reduces both normal and excessive stomach acid levels. Notably, its impact is long-lasting, persisting for more than 24 hours, providing relief from conditions associated with excessive stomach acid, such as heartburn and acid reflux.
