How Esopump 20 Tablet Works

Esomeprazole, sold under the name Nexium, works by targeting the enzyme (H+, K+)-ATPase in your stomach lining. It binds to specific parts of this enzyme, preventing the final step in the production of stomach acid. By doing this, it helps reduce both normal and excess stomach acid production, providing relief from conditions caused by too much stomach acid. One unique feature is its long-lasting effect, as the binding is irreversible, offering relief for more than 24 hours and aiding in managing acid-related symptoms.
