Esium 40 mg Tablet

Esium 40 mg Tablet contains 40 mg of esomeprazole in each tablet. It belongs to a class of medicines called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), which reduce the amount of acid your stomach makes. Esium 40 mg Tablet is used for conditions related to excess stomach acid, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), erosive esophagitis, stomach ulcers, and other acid-related problems. This pack contains a strip/box of 10 tablets made by Tas Med India.

How it works: Esomeprazole works by blocking the acid pump in the stomach lining, which lowers the amount of acid released into the stomach. In this tablet form, the medicine is swallowed and absorbed to help reduce heartburn, protect the esophagus, and allow irritated tissue to heal.

Esium 40 mg Tablet is a higher-strength esomeprazole tablet, so it is usually chosen when a clinician wants stronger acid suppression than lower-dose options. Because each tablet contains 40 mg, it may be used for more severe symptoms, healing of acid damage, or maintenance treatment when lower strengths are not enough. A doctor decides whether this strength is the right fit based on your diagnosis and response to treatment.

• GERD and frequent heartburn
• Healing erosive esophagitis
• Maintenance treatment after healing of reflux-related damage
• Stomach or duodenal ulcers
• Prevention of ulcer-related acid damage in selected patients

• Swallow Esium 40 mg Tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew, or split it unless your doctor or pharmacist tells you to.
• Take it at least 1 hour before a meal, usually before breakfast, for best effect.
• Take it at the same time each day if you have a regular prescription schedule.
• If you have trouble swallowing tablets, ask a clinician before changing how you take it.
• Do not take more tablets than prescribed, even if symptoms continue for a while before relief starts.

Each Esium 40 mg Tablet provides 40 mg of esomeprazole per tablet. This strength is often taken once daily, but some conditions may require different schedules under medical supervision; the exact dose and length of treatment are decided by your doctor. Do not exceed the prescribed amount, and do not take more than the maximum your prescriber recommends for your specific condition.

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