Nexium
Nexium is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and other conditions by targeting stomach lining cells and reducing acid production. Nexium lawsuits claim the long-term use of these drugs may result in serious life-threatening health conditions.

Nexium Risks
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine discovered longtime use of proton pump inhibitor medication resulted in a 50% higher risk of dying in the following 5 years compared to those who used H2 blockers to treat stomach acid conditions. Long-term use was defined as use spanning a year or two.[5] Several studies have linked proton pump inhibitors to increased risks of stomach infections, children born with asthma, ischemic strokes, life-threatening irregular heartbeats, and loss of brain functions.
In addition, proton pump inhibitors are linked to kidney disease. A study of 125,000 people resulted in over 50% of the patients suffering chronic kidney damage. Kidney damage as a result of proton pump inhibitors appears to develop gradually over time, leading to long-term damage or failure.[6]
