Nexium

Hi Doctor,
Does Nexium require a CACI or special issuance?
Thank you

According to AMAS, only a 48 hour ground trial is "suggested".

As long as it is being used for heartburn/GERD no further paperwork is needed. For some more severe conditions ie esophageal stricture some additional paperwork could be required. Hope this helps.
