Esomeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). It irreversibly blocks the gastric H+/K+ ATPase pump in stomach parietal cells, reducing acid secretion and allowing healing of acid-related damage.
Directions for Use
Oral tablet. Usually taken once daily, preferably 30–60 minutes before food (often before breakfast). Swallow whole; do not crush or chew. Duration and dose as prescribed; for H. pylori it is used with antibiotics.
Use with caution in severe liver disease. Long-term use may increase risk of vitamin B12 deficiency, low magnesium, bone fractures, kidney inflammation (interstitial nephritis) and certain infections (e.g., C. difficile). Seek medical advice if alarm symptoms occur (unintentional weight loss, persistent vomiting, difficulty swallowing, blood in vomit/stool). May mask symptoms of gastric cancer; evaluation may be needed if symptoms persist.
Drug Interactions
Warfarin (INR changes), clopidogrel (reduced activation/antiplatelet effect), diazepam (increased levels), phenytoin (increased levels), digoxin (increased levels), methotrexate (increased levels at high dose), tacrolimus (increased levels), ketoconazole/itraconazole/posaconazole and iron salts (reduced absorption), atazanavir/nelfinavir (reduced levels; avoid)
