What is Esomeprazole?

Esomeprazole is a medication that is often referred to as a Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI). PPIs work by reducing the amount of acid that is produced in the stomach and alleviating the symptoms associated with this. It is used for conditions such as heartburn and acid reflux and is also used for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) which is a persistent form of acid reflux. In addition to acid reflux, Esomeprazole can be used to treat stomach ulcers. The medication comes in the form of capsules, tablets, granules and can also be taken as a liquid.

How to take Esomeprazole?

The best time to take esomeprazole is in the morning, where one tablet can be taken with or without food.

Swallow the tablets with a drink of water however if you have problems swallowing the whole tablet you can put them in your drink, ensuring it is dissolved/broken up and then drinking straight away.
