Ezimoz S 40 mg Tablet

Ezimoz S 40 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 40 mg of esomeprazole in each tablet. Esomeprazole belongs to a class of drugs called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), which lower the amount of acid the stomach makes. Ezimoz S 40 mg Tablet is used for acid-related conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), erosive esophagitis, and stomach or duodenal ulcers. It may also be used to help prevent ulcers in some people who need ongoing acid suppression.

How it works: Esomeprazole works by blocking the acid pumps in the stomach lining, which reduces the amount of acid released into the stomach. In tablet form, Ezimoz S 40 mg Tablet is swallowed and then the medicine starts working from inside the body to help lessen burning, irritation, and acid damage.

Ezimoz S 40 mg Tablet is a higher-strength esomeprazole tablet, so it is typically chosen when a doctor wants stronger acid control or when lower strengths are not enough. Because it contains 40 mg per tablet, it is not the same as a lower-dose option and should be used only when a clinician has determined that this strength is appropriate for the patient.

• GERD and frequent heartburn
• Healing erosive esophagitis
• Stomach ulcer treatment
• Duodenal ulcer treatment
• Prevention of acid-related injury in selected patients

• Swallow Ezimoz S 40 mg Tablet whole with water unless your doctor or pharmacist tells you otherwise.
• Take it before a meal, commonly before breakfast, to help it work best.
• Do not crush, chew, or split the tablet unless you have been specifically instructed to do so.
• Take it at the same time each day if it is prescribed regularly.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.
• Follow your doctor’s directions exactly, because this 40 mg tablet is a stronger prescription dose.

Each Ezimoz S 40 mg Tablet provides 40 mg of esomeprazole per tablet. Depending on the condition being treated, it may be taken once daily and in some cases twice daily, but the prescriber decides the schedule. Do not take more than the amount your doctor prescribed, since the maximum daily dose for this strength depends on the reason for use and your medical history.

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