Esogress 40 Tablet

Prescription Required

Product introduction

Esogress 40 Tablet is used to treat conditions related to excessive stomach acid production, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. It reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach and provides relief from symptoms and promotes healing.

Esogress 40 Tablet can also be used to prevent stomach ulcers caused by certain medications, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Take it in the exact dose and duration prescribed by your doctor. It is usually taken on an empty stomach, preferably in the morning or at least 1 hour before a meal. Continue taking the medicine even if your symptoms disappear until the doctor says it is okay to stop. If you are taking this medicine for a long time, your doctor may carry out regular tests to check your levels of magnesium which can fall with this medicine.


Common side effects include headache, constipation or diarrhea, stomach pain, and nausea. These tend to be mild but talk to your doctor if they bother you or do not go away. The risk of side effects may increase the longer you take this medicine. You may be more likely to have a broken bone if you take it for a long time. It is best to avoid foods that seem to make your symptoms worse, such as rich, spicy, and fatty foods. Cutting down on caffeinated drinks, such as tea, coffee, and cola, as well as alcohol may also help.


Esogress 40 Tablet may not be suitable for some people. Before taking this medicine, you need to tell your doctor if you have severe liver problems, are taking medicines for HIV, have had an allergic reaction to similar medicines in the past, or have osteoporosis. Alcohol does not interfere with the way Esogress 40 Tablet works; however, drinking alcohol makes your stomach produce more acid than normal. This medicine can make you feel dizzy, or sleepy, or affect your vision. If this happens, do not drive, cycle, or use machinery or tools until you feel better. This medicine is not usually recommended during pregnancy and breastfeeding.


Uses of Esogress Tablet

Benefits of Esogress Tablet

In Treatment of Acidity
