Esys Tablet

Esys Tablet is an oral tablet that contains esomeprazole as the active ingredient, with the strength listed on the pack. Esomeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to reduce the amount of acid your stomach makes. Esys Tablet is prescribed for acid-related conditions such as GERD, erosive esophagitis, and stomach or duodenal ulcers, and it may also be used to help prevent ulcer problems in selected patients. Because this is an esomeprazole tablet from Systopic Laboratories, India, it should be used only as directed by a clinician.

How it works: Esomeprazole in Esys Tablet blocks the acid pumps in the lining of the stomach, which lowers stomach acid production. By reducing acid, the tablet helps relieve heartburn and gives irritated tissue time to heal.

Esys Tablet is the tablet form of esomeprazole at the labeled strength, so it is meant for patients who need this exact dose rather than a lower-strength product. Since there are no other strengths or forms of this brand listed here, your doctor may choose Esys Tablet when the labeled dose matches the amount needed for symptom control or ulcer treatment. Compared with lower esomeprazole strengths, this tablet provides the full labeled amount in one dose and is not meant to be adjusted on your own.

• Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
• Heartburn due to excess stomach acid
• Erosive esophagitis
• Healing and maintenance of stomach or duodenal ulcers
• Prevention of NSAID-associated ulcer problems in selected patients

• Swallow Esys Tablet whole with water unless your doctor or pharmacist gives different instructions.
• Take it before a meal, usually before breakfast, to get the best effect.
• Do not crush, chew, or split the tablet unless the product instructions specifically allow it.
• Take it at the same time each day if you are prescribed it regularly.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.
• If your symptoms persist or worsen, contact your prescriber rather than increasing the dose yourself.

Each Esys Tablet contains the labeled strength of esomeprazole per tablet. Depending on the condition being treated, it may be taken once daily and sometimes more often only if a doctor specifically prescribes it; the exact schedule and maximum daily dose depend on your diagnosis and response. Because this is a prescription-strength PPI tablet, the doctor decides the right dose and duration for you.

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