AstraZeneca today announced that it has received approval from the U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the formulation of Astra Zeneca’s Nexium, also known as AstraZeneca’s generic version of the acid blocker.
The formulation is currently marketed as Nexium USP: Esomeprazole Magnesium, which is the brand name for Astra Zeneca’s generic of Nexium. Both Nexium and Magnesium are effective in relieving symptoms associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and GERD associated with ulcers, erosive esophagitis, and acid reflux. These symptoms include acid reflux, stomach acid reflux, heartburn, acid reflux, and acid reflux and acid reflux in severe cases of erosive esophagitis, and acid reflux, stomach acid reflux, heartburn, heartburn, heartburn, and heartburn. In addition to its brand name, AstraZeneca’s generic version is also available as the brand name of the drug. Both generic and brand-name drugs are approved to treat and relieve symptoms of GERD, including GERD associated with heartburn, and esophageal reflux disease (GERD) associated with ulcers, erosive esophagitis, and acid reflux. Patients with severe, persistent GERD (at least 1 GERD-related symptom within a 2-year period) are eligible for the drug. It is also approved to reduce the risk of developing heart attack, stroke, and death associated with heartburn. The drug is available in strengths of 2 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, and 20 mg. Each tablet is manufactured in a strength of 20 mg.
“By evaluating the current and future market share of AstraZeneca’s Nexium, we can determine whether the drug can continue to be the best treatment option for patients with GERD,” said Steven Nissen, President and CEO of AstraZeneca. “With a new, affordable drug available for patients with severe GERD, AstraZeneca is committed to meeting the rising demand for acid blockers and has demonstrated a commitment to innovation in the treatment of GERD.”
In addition to its Nexium, AstraZeneca also markets Esomeprazole Magnesium, which is the branded generic for Nexium. This product has been approved by the FDA to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and is the only prescription drug in the United States that can be sold under the brand name of Nexium. AstraZeneca has a commitment to patient safety and to reducing the risk of developing heart attack, stroke, and death associated with heartburn.
The Nexium brand name is also available as the brand name of AstraZeneca’s generic of Nexium.

Nexium is available in the United States under the brand name of Nexium. AstraZeneca will continue to market this medication as a generic drug and will have its sales force to meet the growing demand for acid blockers in the United States and Europe.
AstraZeneca is committed to achieving the most effective treatment for all patients and will continue to make substantial contributions to the development, manufacture, and supply of this new drug product.

As part of the acquisition, AstraZeneca has agreed to acquire US$600 million of assets from AstraZeneca, including $600 million of cash, equity, and assets. This transaction will provide AstraZeneca with an additional $1 billion in cash and the right to sell its Nexium brand.
