Esopulse Capsule 40mg

Esopulse Capsule 40mg contains the active ingredient Esomeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to treat various gastrointestinal conditions associated with excessive stomach acid production.

Active Ingredient:

Esomeprazole: This medication inhibits the proton pump in the stomach’s cells, reducing gastric acid secretion and providing relief from acid-related symptoms.

Uses:

Esopulse Capsule 40mg is prescribed for:

• Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): To alleviate symptoms like heartburn, acid regurgitation, and chest pain caused by stomach acid reflux into the esophagus.
• Peptic Ulcers: To promote healing and prevent recurrence of ulcers in the stomach or duodenum.
• Helicobacter pylori Infection: As part of combination therapy to eradicate H. pylori bacteria, which can cause peptic ulcers and gastritis.
• Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome: To manage excessive gastric acid production linked to this rare disorder.

Mechanism of Action:

Esomeprazole blocks the H+/K+-ATPase enzyme in gastric parietal cells, the final step in acid production. By inhibiting this proton pump, esomeprazole reduces gastric acid secretion, decreasing acidity levels in the stomach and relieving acid-related symptoms.

Administration:

Take Esopulse Capsule 40mg orally, usually once daily before a meal, or as directed by a healthcare provider. Swallow the capsule whole with water; avoid crushing or opening it. Adhere to the prescribed dosage and treatment duration.

Side Effects:

Common side effects of Esopulse Capsule 40mg may include headache, nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and flatulence. These effects are typically mild and temporary. Persistent or severe symptoms should be reported to a healthcare professional.

Precautions:

• Inform your healthcare provider about any existing medical conditions, especially liver disease, kidney disease, or osteoporosis.
• Prolonged use of Esopulse Capsule 40mg may increase the risk of bone fractures, particularly in the hip, wrist, or spine.
• Avoid combining esomeprazole with medications metabolized by the CYP2C19 enzyme system, as it may interfere with their metabolism.

When Not to Use:

Esopulse Capsule 40mg should not be used in individuals with known hypersensitivity or allergy to esomeprazole or any capsule components. Avoid use in patients allergic to other proton pump inhibitors (PPIs).
