A member asked:
Is 20 mg of otc nexium effective to heal erosive gastritis, diagnosed with egd . no pylori found,?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dose too low: For erosive esophagitis, 40 mg a day is recommended, but for gastric or duodenal ulcers, up to 80 mg a day would be better. Follow the recommendations of the doctor who diagnosed egd.https://reference.medscape.com/drug/nexium-nexium-24hr-esomeprazole-341998
