Esomeprazole is used to treat conditions related to excess stomach acid, such as:
Most adults can take Esomeprazole if they suffer from acid reflux or gastrointestinal issues. However, children will only be prescribed Esomeprazole if they suffer from GERD.
Esomeprazole may not be suitable for you if you:
Esomeprazole may hide some of the problems that would usually be spotted during an endoscopy. If you are due to have an endoscopy, ask your doctor if you should stop taking esomeprazole a few weeks before your procedure.
Esomeprazole works by reducing the acid levels in the stomach by blocking systems in the cell walls of the stomach called Proton Pumps. Esomeprazole helps to prevent proton pumps in the stomach from working properly. These proton pumps are enzymes found in the lining of the stomach which produce acid, thereby decreasing the amount of acid in the stomach.
Esomeprazole 20mg is typically taken once a day first thing in the morning and swallowed whole with a glass of water . It can be taken either with or without food.
If you are recommended by your GP or pharmacist to take Esomeprazole twice a day, take one dose in the morning and one dose in the evening.
If you experience any of the following side effects from taking Esomeprazole, tell your doctor or pharmacist and seek appropriate advice from them.
You can find all of the side effects in the Esomeprazole 20mg patient information leaflet.
Despite the widespread use and excellent safety profile of Esomeprazole 20mg, concerns have been raised about the long-term effects of proton pump inhibitors. These concerns include potential adverse effects like hypergastrinemia, the development of pneumonia, and drug interactions. The NHS advises that it should be used under medical guidance for the most effective and safest long-term treatment.
A recent study has also found that long-term use of PPIs, like Esomeprazole, can lead to an increased risk of dementia.
If you are unsure whether you will need to take Esomeprazole long-term and are worried about the side effects, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
