What is esomeprazole and what are its uses:
• Esomeprazole belongs to a group of medicines called “proton pump inhibitors”. They work by reducing the amount of acid your stomach produces.
• This medication is used in adults for short-term treatment of reflux symptoms (eg, heartburn, acid regurgitation).
• Reflux is the reflux of acid from the stomach into the esophagus (“food pipe”), which may become inflamed and painful. This may cause symptoms such as pain in the chest that radiates to the throat (heartburn) and a sour taste in the mouth (acid regurgitation).
• Esomeprazole is not intended to provide immediate relief.
• You may need to take the capsules for 2-3 consecutive days before you feel better. You should talk to your doctor if you don't feel better or if you feel worse after 14 days.
