Esoz 40mg Tablet 15s
Introduction to Esoz 40mg Tablet 15s
Esoz 40mg Tablet 15s is a medication containing esomeprazole, belongs to the proton pump inhibitor class and is primarily employed to alleviate symptoms associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and conditions involving excess stomach acid like Zollinger Ellison syndrome. It is also instrumental in promoting the healing of erosive esophagitis caused by stomach acid.
It falls under the class of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). These medications work by inhibiting the proton pump in the stomach lining. This action reduces the secretion of stomach acid, effectively addressing acid related symptoms and promoting the healing of esophageal damage.
To maximize effectiveness, take it exactly as directed on the label or as prescribed by your doctor.
Common side effects of it may include headaches, diarrhea, nausea, stomach pain, gas, constipation, or dry mouth. If these side effects persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider.
If you have a history of severe liver disease, lupus, osteoporosis or low bone mineral density, or low levels of magnesium in your blood. Long term use of proton pump inhibitors like it, may increase the risk of bone fractures, so discuss bone health strategies with your doctor.
If a dose of it is missed, use it as soon as possible. However, if it's close to the next scheduled dose, skip the missed one. Avoid doubling up on doses to compensate for a missed one.

Can I take Esoz for a long term?
Esoz is usually prescribed for short term use only. However, if need arises, such as for treating peptic ulcer disease and Zollinger Ellison syndrome (ZES), Esoz may be prescribed for a long term duration as well. Long term use may carry an increased risk for side effects and must be discussed with the doctor. Please use Esoz as advised by your doctor and under their supervision.
How long should you take esomeprazole?
Do not take nonprescription esomeprazole for longer than 14 days or treat yourself with esomeprazole more often than once every 4 months without talking to your doctor. Continue to take prescription esomeprazole, even if you feel well. Call your doctor if your symptoms worsen or do not improve during this time.
Can Esoz cause weight gain?
Weight gain is reported in less than 1% of the patients taking Esoz but the exact cause is unknown. One possible explanation is higher food intake once the reflux symptoms are relieved. Lifestyle modifications such as proper diet and exercise can help to prevent weight gain.
