About This Medicine

Product description & overview

Esiloc 20 Tablet contains Esomeprazole 20 mg, a proton pump inhibitor used primarily to reduce gastric acid secretion. It is indicated for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), erosive esophagitis, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, and for the prevention and treatment of gastric ulcers associated with Helicobacter pylori infection when used in combination with appropriate antibiotics. Esomeprazole works by selectively inhibiting the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme system at the secretory surface of gastric parietal cells, thereby suppressing the final step of acid production. This results in decreased gastric acidity, promoting healing of acid-related damage and relief of symptoms such as heartburn and acid regurgitation. Esiloc 20 is typically administered orally, once daily, preferably before meals. The dosage and duration of therapy depend on the condition being treated and the patient's response. Common side effects may include headache, diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, and flatulence, though it is generally well tolerated. Caution is advised in patients with liver impairment, and long-term use should be monitored due to potential risks such as vitamin B12 deficiency and bone fractures. Esiloc 20 should be used under medical supervision to ensure appropriate therapy and minimize adverse effects.
