Not safe over years: Nexium (esomeprazole) is safe for short-term use. However, it can be quite hazardous to take it for a prolonged period of time (more than a few months) as it can lead to very serious, even life-threatening side effects- see http://www.naturalnews.com/036336_PPIs_acid_reflux_side_effects.html & http://chriskresser.com/what-everybody-ought-to-know-but-doesnt-about-heartburn-gerd There are safer alternatives.
