AIG Esomeprazole 40 mg 28 capsule

AIG Esomeprazole 40 mg 28 capsule

Description:

AIG Esomeprazole 40 mg 28 capsule is a prescription oral medicine containing esomeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to reduce excessive stomach acid. It is commonly prescribed for the treatment of acid-related disorders such as gastric and duodenal ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and erosive oesophagitis. By effectively decreasing gastric acid secretion, AIG Esomeprazole 40 mg helps relieve symptoms like heartburn, acid regurgitation, and upper abdominal pain, and supports healing of the stomach and esophageal lining.

Indications:

• Treatment of gastric ulcers and duodenal ulcers.
• Management of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), including symptomatic GERD (persistent heartburn, acid regurgitation).
• Treatment and maintenance therapy of erosive oesophagitis.
• Prevention and treatment of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)-associated gastric and duodenal ulcers in at-risk patients.
• Conditions associated with pathological hypersecretion of gastric acid (e.g., Zollinger–Ellison syndrome) as directed by a physician.
• Relief of acid-related symptoms such as epigastric pain, burning sensation in the chest, and sour taste in the mouth due to acid reflux.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Esomeprazole – 40 mg per capsule.
• Other inactive ingredients/excipients: Information on full excipient list is not available in the provided data. Refer to the package leaflet for complete details.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use exactly as prescribed by your physician. Do not exceed the recommended dose or duration.
• Typical adult dose for GERD and erosive oesophagitis: 40 mg (one capsule) once daily, usually for 4–8 weeks, or as directed by your doctor.
• For maintenance therapy or prevention of NSAID-associated ulcers, dosing and duration should be determined by a healthcare professional.
• Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew the capsule, as it is usually enteric-coated to protect it from stomach acid.
• Administer preferably at least 1 hour before a meal, usually in the morning, unless your doctor advises otherwise.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for your next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
• Do not stop treatment abruptly without consulting your doctor, especially in long-term therapy.

Clinical Benefits:

• Effectively reduces gastric acid secretion by irreversibly inhibiting the gastric proton pump (H⁺/K⁺-ATPase) in stomach parietal cells.
• Promotes healing of gastric and duodenal ulcers and erosive oesophagitis.
• Provides sustained relief from heartburn, acid regurgitation, and other GERD-related symptoms, improving comfort and quality of life.
• Helps protect the stomach lining in patients using NSAIDs, reducing the risk of NSAID-associated ulceration.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to esomeprazole, other substituted benzimidazoles, or any component of the formulation.
• Use with caution in patients with severe hepatic impairment; dose adjustment may be required under medical supervision.
• Long-term use of proton pump inhibitors may be associated with an increased risk of bone fractures, vitamin B12 deficiency, hypomagnesemia, and gastrointestinal infections (e.g., Clostridioides difficile). Regular monitoring may be needed for prolonged therapy.
• Persistent or recurrent symptoms despite treatment may indicate a more serious condition (e.g., gastric cancer); medical evaluation is essential.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, nursing, taking other medications (especially anticoagulants, antiretrovirals, antifungals, or antiepileptics), or if you have medical conditions such as liver disease, severe kidney disease, osteoporosis, or electrolyte disturbances.
• Not intended for self-medication of alarm symptoms such as unintentional weight loss, difficulty swallowing, vomiting blood, black or bloody stools, or severe abdominal pain. Seek immediate medical attention.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects may include headache, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, flatulence, and dizziness.
• Less common side effects can include dry mouth, rash, itching, or mild swelling.
• Serious but rare side effects may include severe allergic reactions (swelling of face, lips, tongue, or throat; difficulty breathing), severe skin reactions, persistent diarrhea, severe abdominal pain, or signs of liver problems (yellowing of skin or eyes, dark urine). Stop use and seek immediate medical attention if these occur.
• Long-term use may be associated with low magnesium levels, vitamin B12 deficiency, or increased fracture risk; your doctor may recommend periodic monitoring.
