I have been taking nexium (esomeprazole) for years but i still have heartburn what can i do?

Nexium (esomeprazole) is not a cure: Nexium (esomeprazole) is a great medicine but it only works for 24 hours. After that the acid production resumes unless you take Nexium (esomeprazole) daily. Most people with heartburn have acid reflux which is a life long problem. But there are many antacids that you can choose from ...They vary in price but may do the job as well. You just have to try them to find the one that suits you.
