Esofag, with the active ingredient Esomeprazole, is a leading PPI that suppresses stomach acid secretion. It works by inhibiting the H⁺/K⁺ ATPase enzyme in gastric parietal cells — ultimately reducing acid and helping relieve and heal acid-related damage.
Therapeutic Uses:
Esofag 40 mg is commonly prescribed for:
-
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) and heartburn relief
-
Healing erosive esophagitis in short-term treatment
-
Managing peptic ulcers and supporting H. pylori eradication protocols
-
Treating Zollinger–Ellison Syndrome and NSAID-associated ulcer prevention
How to Use:
-
Take one 40 mg tablet once daily, preferably at least 1 hour before a meal in the morning.
-
Swallow the tablet whole — do not crush or chew.
-
Continue use for the full course even if symptoms improve.
Side Effects & Precautions:
-
Common side effects: Headache, nausea, abdominal discomfort, flatulence, diarrhea, constipation. Most are mild and transient.
-
Long-term concerns: Extended use may increase risk of low magnesium levels, Vitamin B₁₂ deficiency, and bone fractures. Regular monitoring may be required with chronic use.
-
Use with caution if you have liver or kidney issues. Avoid abrupt discontinuation to prevent rebound acid hypersecretion.
