Esomeprazole is a medication that belongs to a group of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). It works by reducing the amount of acid produced in your stomach. This active ingredient is effective in treating conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Esomeprazole is suitable for individuals experiencing acid-related stomach issues caused by excessive acid production.

Dosage and usage

For adults, the typical dosage of esomeprazole for treating GERD is 20-40 mg once daily. The dosage may vary depending on the condition being treated. You should take esomeprazole at least 1 hour before a meal. It's important not to crush or chew the capsules. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose. In case of any concerns or persistent symptoms, consult your healthcare provider.
