NEXIUM-MUPS 20MG TABLETS — ESOMEPRAZOLE GASTRIC ACID INHIBITOR

ADVANCED MULTIPLE UNIT PELLET SYSTEM (MUPS) CONFIGURED FOR LONG-LASTING ACID CONTROL, GASTRIC ULCER HEALING, AND REFLUX RELIEF. DISCREETLY DELIVERED ACROSS NIGERIA AND WORLDWIDE.

What It Does

Nexium-Mups contains Esomeprazole, a highly potent Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI). It works by targeting the gastric parietal cells in the stomach lining, where it binds covalently to the hydrogen-potassium adenosine triphosphatase ($H^+/K^+$ ATPase) enzyme system, completely blocking the final step of gastric acid production.

The advanced Multiple Unit Pellet System (MUPS) formula ensures that each tablet rapidly disperses into thousands of individual, enteric-coated micro-pellets inside the stomach. This allows for smooth, uniform transit into the intestines, minimizing stomach irritation and ensuring highly predictable, long-lasting systemic absorption.

What It Treats

  • Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Healing erosive esophagitis and providing sustained relief from the painful burning of chronic acid reflux.

  • Peptic and Duodenal Ulcers: Healing active stomach ulcers and preventing recurring damage caused by gastric acid or regular NSAID painkiller use.

  • H. pylori Eradication: Paired with specific antibiotics to eliminate Helicobacter pylori bacterial infections and heal associated ulcers.

  • Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome: Managing pathological hypersecretion conditions where the stomach overproduces extreme amounts of acid.

Who It's For

  • Adults and Adolescents (aged 12 years and over) requiring a reliable, long-acting formula to manage severe heartburn, acid reflux, or ulcer recovery.

  • Not suitable for individuals with a known hypersensitivity to esomeprazole, substituted benzimidazoles, or any component of the tablet. Do not use if you are concurrently taking the antiretroviral medication nelfinavir.

Dosage

  • GERD Treatment & Ulcer Healing: The standard adult dose is 1 tablet (20mg) taken once daily, usually for a duration of 4 to 8 weeks depending on structural healing.

  • H. pylori Eradication Protocols: Typically combined as Nexium 20mg twice daily alongside prescribed antibiotics for 7 to 14 days.

💡 Nexium-Mups should ideally be taken in the morning, 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew the tablet.

🔄 MUPS Administration Alternative: For individuals or children with swallowing difficulties, the tablet can be dropped into half a glass of non-carbonated water. Stir gently until the tablet completely disperses into micro-pellets, and drink the mixture immediately or within 30 minutes. Rinse the glass with a little more water and drink to ensure no pellets are left behind. Do not chew or crush the micro-pellets.

Key Ingredient

  • Esomeprazole Magnesium (20mg): The pure S-isomer of omeprazole, optimized within an advanced enteric-coated pellet matrix for superior gastric acid inhibition.

Possible Side Effects

Nexium-Mups is exceptionally well-tolerated. Common, mild side effects can include headache, diarrhea, nausea, abdominal gas, or constipation. WARNING: Long-term continuous use of proton pump inhibitors (typically exceeding 1 year) can slightly increase the risk of bone fractures, lower systemic magnesium levels, or mask the symptoms of more serious gastric conditions. Consult your doctor if your symptoms do not improve after a few weeks.

FAQs

Can I crush or split Nexium-Mups tablets to make them easier to take?

No. You must never crush, chew, or grind Nexium-Mups tablets or their dispersed pellets. The micro-pellets inside the tablet are coated with a specialized enteric layer designed to protect the delicate medication from being destroyed by harsh stomach acid. Crushing them destroys this barrier, rendering the medication ineffective.

Can I take Nexium-Mups over-the-counter alongside my daily antacids?

Yes. If you are experiencing acute, painful heartburn, you can safely take a liquid or chewable antacid to get immediate relief while Nexium-Mups builds up in your system. Nexium takes a few days of consistent daily use to reach its full acid-blocking potential.

How should Nexium-Mups be stored in hot and humid climates?

To maintain full structural stability, store the tablets in their original blister packaging in a cool, dry place below 30°C. Keep them completely away from humid environments, like bathrooms, or direct sunlight.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes. We deliver to the UK, USA, Canada, Europe, and across Africa in secure, temperature-stable packaging to preserve complete medication bio-integrity during transit.

Is it available across Nigeria?

Yes. We supply to all 36 states, with express same-day shipping options available throughout Lagos and Abuja via Sanlive Pharmacy to ensure your digestive and ulcer care remains uninterrupted.
