Product Details

Ezium Capsules 20mg contain esomeprazole, a powerful proton pump inhibitor. Esomeprazole works by binding irreversibly to the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme in the proton pump of the stomach's parietal cells. This inhibition effectively reduces the secretion of hydrochloric acid, thereby decreasing gastric acidity and altering the stomach's pH level. This action makes Ezium Capsules 20mg effective in managing conditions related to excessive stomach acid.

Purposes

Ezium Capsules 20mg are used for the treatment of a range of acid-related disorders. These include heartburn, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), gastritis, and ulcers. By reducing stomach acid production, Ezium Capsules 20mg help alleviate symptoms and promote healing in conditions where excessive acid can cause discomfort or damage.

Warnings

When using Ezium Capsules 20mg, be aware of certain warnings. Prolonged use of proton pump inhibitors like esomeprazole can lead to hypomagnesemia, a condition characterized by low magnesium levels. Additionally, long-term use may be associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis-related fractures. It is also advised to avoid concomitant use with clopidogrel due to potential interactions that may affect treatment efficacy.

Adverse Effects

The adverse effects of Ezium Capsules 20mg can include headaches, gastrointestinal upset, skin reactions, and dry mouth. While rare, severe reactions such as angioedema and anaphylaxis have been reported. Continuous use may also lead to fundic gland polyps and other side effects. If any severe or unexpected symptoms occur, consult your healthcare provider immediately.

Cautions

Ezium Capsules 20mg should be stored at room temperature, away from direct light and heat. It is essential to use this medication under the guidance of your healthcare provider, especially if you have a history of hypersensitivity to proton pump inhibitors or are pregnant. Long-term use may cause malabsorption or deficiency of cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12), so regular monitoring and consultation are recommended to ensure safe and effective use.
