What does it do?

Esomeprazole magnesium trihydrate belongs to the class of proton pump inhibitors. It is used to alleviate symptoms related to peptic ulcers by reducing the excessive acid secreted in the stomach. This ingredient protects the gastric mucosa and helps heal ulcers.

This ingredient decreases gastric acid secretion by blocking the proton pumps in the gastric wall cells. When the acid decreases, the gastric mucosa is not irritated, making it easier for the ulcer to heal. It also relieves pain and discomfort caused by excessive gastric acid.
