ESSO CAPSULE 20MG contains the active ingredient Esomeprazole, which belongs to a class of medications known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). Esomeprazole works by reducing the production of stomach acid, thus helping to alleviate symptoms associated with conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and other acid-related disorders.
Common side effects of ESSO CAPSULE 20MG may include:
Rare but serious side effects may include severe allergic reactions, kidney problems, and vitamin B12 deficiency with long-term use.
Before taking ESSO CAPSULE 20MG, inform your doctor if you have any allergies, medical conditions (such as liver disease), or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. It is essential to follow the dosage instructions provided by your doctor and not to exceed the recommended dose.
Do not use ESSO CAPSULE 20MG if you are allergic to Esomeprazole or any other ingredients in the medication. Additionally, inform your doctor if you have severe liver disease or if you are taking medications such as atazanavir or nelfinavir, as these may interact with Esomeprazole.
