The U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a generic version of AstraZeneca's Nexium, which is indicated for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and symptoms of ulcers in the stomach and esophagus. In May, the FDA approved the generic version of AstraZeneca's Nexium, which is indicated for the treatment of heartburn and other acid reflux symptoms in patients who have experienced heartburn, GERD, and heartburn in the past. The drug was developed to treat conditions that cause acid at the bottom of the stomach. AstraZeneca's Nexium has been available as generics since the patent for Nexium was granted to Merck & Co. in 1999.
According to the FDA, Nexium is chemically distinct from Nexium 1, and has not been approved for use in the United States. The drug is classified as a "selective beta-blocker," which is a class of drugs that includes albuterol, digoxin, doxazosin, terazosin, and others. The patent for Nexium was granted to Merck in 1999. The generic version of AstraZeneca's Nexium was approved in May 2002.
