Esmatac 40 Mg 28 Capsules 6223003930905

Description:

Esmatac 40 mg is a prescription oral medicine containing esomeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to reduce excess stomach acid. It is commonly prescribed for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), gastric and duodenal ulcers, and other acid-related disorders. Each pack contains 28 delayed-release capsules designed to protect the active ingredient from stomach acid and ensure optimal absorption in the intestine. Esmatac 40 mg helps relieve symptoms such as heartburn, acid regurgitation, epigastric pain, and discomfort related to NSAID use, while promoting healing of the esophageal and gastric mucosa.

Indications:

• Treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), including heartburn and acid regurgitation.
• Healing and maintenance treatment of erosive oesophagitis.
• Treatment of gastric ulcer.
• Treatment of duodenal ulcer.
• Prevention and treatment of NSAID-associated gastric and duodenal ulcers in patients at risk.
• Management of conditions associated with pathological hypersecretion of gastric acid (e.g., Zollinger–Ellison syndrome) as directed by a physician.
• Relief of upper abdominal pain, burning sensation in the chest, sour taste in mouth, and other symptoms related to excess stomach acid.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Esomeprazole (as delayed-release formulation) – 40 mg per capsule.
• Other excipients: Information on inactive ingredients (capsule shell components, fillers, stabilizers, colorants) is not available in the provided data. Please refer to the package insert for the full excipient list.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Adults: The usual dose for GERD and erosive oesophagitis is 40 mg (1 capsule) once daily, or as directed by your physician.
• For maintenance therapy or symptom control, your doctor may adjust the dose and duration based on your response.
• For NSAID-associated ulcer prevention or treatment, dosing and duration must be determined by a healthcare professional.
• Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or open the delayed-release capsules, as this may affect the protective coating and reduce effectiveness.
• Take preferably in the morning, with or without food, at the same time each day unless otherwise advised by your doctor.
• If you have difficulty swallowing, ask your doctor or pharmacist about approved methods of taking the capsule contents without chewing.
• Do not exceed the prescribed dose or use for longer than recommended without medical supervision.
• 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.

Clinical Benefits:

• Effectively reduces gastric acid secretion by selectively inhibiting the gastric proton pump (H+ / K+ ATPase) in parietal cells.
• Provides rapid and sustained relief from heartburn, acid reflux, and epigastric pain associated with GERD and peptic ulcer disease.
• Promotes healing of erosive oesophagitis, gastric ulcers, and duodenal ulcers, supporting mucosal recovery.
• Helps prevent and manage NSAID-associated ulcers in patients requiring long-term NSAID therapy.
• Improves quality of life by reducing nocturnal reflux symptoms and improving sleep in patients with acid-related disorders.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to esomeprazole, other proton pump inhibitors, or any component of the formulation.
• Do not use without medical evaluation in the presence of alarm symptoms such as unintentional weight loss, persistent vomiting, difficulty swallowing, vomiting blood, or black/tarry stools; these may indicate serious disease (e.g., malignancy) requiring urgent investigation.
• Long-term use of PPIs may be associated with increased risk of bone fractures, vitamin B12 deficiency, hypomagnesemia, and certain infections (e.g., Clostridioides difficile-associated diarrhea). Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary.
• Use with caution in patients with severe hepatic impairment; dose adjustment may be required under medical supervision.
• Esomeprazole may interact with certain medicines (e.g., clopidogrel, warfarin, diazepam, phenytoin, digoxin, methotrexate, some antivirals). Inform your doctor about all medications and supplements you are taking.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant or planning pregnancy. Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding should be based on a medical assessment of risks and benefits.
• Consult your doctor before use if you have liver disease, severe kidney disease, osteoporosis, or a history of low magnesium levels.
• Not intended for self-medication in children unless specifically prescribed by a pediatric specialist.
• Do not use Esmatac 40 mg for immediate relief of acute chest pain; this may be a sign of a serious heart condition requiring emergency care.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have medical conditions (especially liver disease, osteoporosis, electrolyte disturbances, or bleeding disorders).
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease without proper medical supervision.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Seek immediate medical attention if these occur.
• Long-term use may be associated with low magnesium levels, vitamin B12 deficiency, or increased risk of bone fractures; your doctor may monitor blood tests if prolonged therapy is required.
