What does it do?

Esomeprazole magnesium granules contain a component that belongs to the proton pump inhibitor class. They are used to treat peptic ulcers and related disorders by reducing the production of gastric acid in the acid-secreting cells of the stomach lining. This component aims to alleviate symptoms caused by excessive gastric acid.

Esomeprazole magnesium blocks the proton pumps in the stomach lining cells, reducing gastric acid secretion. As a result, the reduction of gastric acid decreases irritation at the ulcer sites and promotes healing. It also helps relieve heartburn and pain caused by excessive gastric acid.
