ESOZ D 40 CAPSULE

ESOZ D 40 CAPSULE is a prescription medicine manufactured by Integrace Pvt Ltd.

• Composition: Each capsule contains Esomeprazole (40mg) and Domperidone (30mg). Esomeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces stomach acid production, while Domperidone is a prokinetic drug that enhances stomach motility and helps in the easy passage of food and gas through the digestive system.

• Uses: This medication is primarily used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which involves the reflux of stomach acid into the food pipe causing symptoms like heartburn, stomach pain, and irritation. It is also effective in managing peptic ulcers, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, and other conditions associated with excess stomach acid production, nausea, vomiting, bloating, and indigestion.

• Dosage and Administration: ESOZ D 40 CAPSULE should be taken on an empty stomach, typically 30 minutes to 1 hour before a meal, preferably in the morning, or as advised by a healthcare professional. The capsule should be swallowed whole with water and not chewed, crushed, or broken.

• Side Effects: Common side effects may include dry mouth, diarrhea, flatulence, stomach pain, headache, and nausea. More serious but rare side effects can include severe allergic reactions, liver problems, severe skin reactions, irregular heartbeat, or issues related to low magnesium and vitamin B12 levels with long-term use.

• Precautions: Consult your doctor if you have known allergies to esomeprazole or domperidone, or if you have severe kidney, heart, or liver problems. It is not recommended for individuals with gut bleeding, blockage, or a pituitary gland tumor. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor before use. Alcohol consumption should be avoided as it may increase acidity and drowsiness. Long-term use may affect bone health and reduce magnesium and vitamin B12 levels.

• Storage: Store ESOZ D 40 CAPSULE below 25°C or 30°C, in a cool and dry place, away from heat, direct sunlight, and out of the reach of children.
