What does it do?

Esomeprazole Strontium Hemihydrate is a component that belongs to the proton pump inhibitor class. It is used to treat gastrointestinal disorders such as peptic ulcers by reducing the excessive acid secretion in the stomach.

This component works by blocking the proton pumps in the gastric wall cells, thereby reducing the secretion of gastric acid. As a result, the reduction of gastric acid decreases irritation at the ulcer site and promotes healing.
