What does it do?

Esomeprazole magnesium hydrate belongs to the class of proton pump inhibitors. It is used to treat peptic ulcers and related conditions caused by excessive gastric acid secretion. It serves to protect the gastric mucosa and aid in ulcer healing.

This ingredient reduces gastric acid secretion by blocking the proton pump in the gastric wall cells. As a result, the reduction in gastric acid allows the ulcerated area to be less irritated and promotes healing. It also helps alleviate symptoms associated with excessive gastric acid.
