Izra 40 mg Tablet

Izra 40 mg Tablet is a prescription acid-reducing medicine that contains 40 mg of esomeprazole in each tablet. It belongs to the proton pump inhibitor (PPI) class, which lowers the amount of acid your stomach makes. Doctors use Izra 40 mg Tablet to treat conditions such as acid reflux, GERD, erosive esophagitis, and stomach or duodenal ulcers related to excess acid. It may also be used with antibiotics for H. pylori infection when prescribed.

How it works: Esomeprazole in Izra 40 mg Tablet turns down acid production by blocking the stomach’s acid pump, which helps reduce burning, irritation, and acid damage. Because it is a tablet, it is swallowed and absorbed to provide longer-lasting acid control rather than quick, immediate relief.

Izra 40 mg Tablet is the higher-strength sibling of Izra 20 mg Tablet, so it is not usually the first tablet people start with unless a clinician decides more acid control is needed. This 40 mg strength may be chosen for more severe symptoms, healing of irritated tissue, or when a doctor wants stronger once-daily acid suppression than the 20 mg tablet can provide.

• GERD and frequent heartburn
• Erosive esophagitis
• Stomach ulcers
• Duodenal ulcers
• H. pylori treatment with antibiotics
• Prevention of NSAID-related ulcers

• Swallow the Izra 40 mg Tablet whole with water unless your prescriber or pharmacist gives different instructions.
• Take it before a meal, usually before breakfast, for best effect.
• Do not crush, split, or chew the tablet unless your pharmacist confirms the tablet can be altered.
• Take it at the same time each day if your doctor has prescribed daily use.
• If it is used with other medicines for H. pylori, follow the full combination schedule exactly.
• Food can affect how this medicine works, so take it the way your doctor instructs rather than on an empty or full stomach by guesswork.

Each Izra 40 mg Tablet provides 40 mg of esomeprazole, which is a stronger dose than the 20 mg tablet. Depending on the condition, a doctor may prescribe it once daily, and in some situations may direct a different schedule; do not take more than the prescribed amount, and do not exceed the maximum daily dose set by your prescriber.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
