Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Nexium is a proton pump inhibitor used for reflux, peptic ulcer, gastritis. It is also commonly combined with medications such as advil to avoid the possible stomach side effects of advil or other medications in that family

Advil is an NSAID and one of the most common side effects of NSAIDs is gastritis (irritation of the lining of the stomach).Nexium or similar medications are sometimes used along with this type of medication to prevent gastritis.

There are also no interactions with either of these medications with tylenol. They can be used safely together.

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
