Product Details

Esante Capsules 40mg contain the active ingredient Esomeprazole, a potent proton pump inhibitor. Esomeprazole works by binding irreversibly to the proton pumps in the stomach lining, significantly reducing the production of stomach acid. This action helps in managing conditions such as heartburn, GERD, and ulcers by altering the gastric pH.

Purposes

Esante Capsules 40mg are primarily used to treat conditions related to excessive stomach acid production, including heartburn, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), gastritis, and ulcers. By decreasing the acidity in the stomach, this medication provides relief from discomfort and promotes healing of the stomach lining.

Warnings

• Hypomagnesemia: Rarely, prolonged use of proton pump inhibitors like Esante may lead to low magnesium levels, especially in long-term treatments.
• Osteoporosis Risk: Long-term use, particularly at high doses, may increase the risk of osteoporosis-related fractures of the hip, wrist, or spine.
• Drug Interactions: Avoid using Esomeprazole with clopidogrel as it may reduce the effectiveness of the latter.

Adverse Effects

While Esante Capsules 40mg are generally well-tolerated, some patients may experience side effects such as headaches, gastrointestinal upset, skin reactions, and dry mouth. Rare but severe side effects may include angioedema, anaphylaxis, and fundic gland polyps.

Cautions

Daily long-term use of Esante Capsules 40mg may lead to cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12) deficiency. It is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to proton pump inhibitors. Consult your healthcare provider before using this medication during pregnancy.
