Esomeprazole: Esomeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) medication used to reduce the production of stomach acid. It works by inhibiting the proton pump in the stomach, which is responsible for releasing acid into the stomach. By reducing acid production, esomeprazole helps to treat various gastrointestinal conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), erosive esophagitis, peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
Esomeprazole capsules are typically taken orally, usually once daily before a meal. The dosage and duration of treatment may vary depending on the specific condition being treated and the individual’s response to the medication.
