Description
Eskem 20mg Capsule contains Esomeprazole 20mg, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that irreversibly inhibits the gastric H+/K+-ATPase enzyme, suppressing stomach acid secretion at the source. Prescribed for adults with Gastro-Oesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and acid-related disorders requiring effective, sustained acid suppression.
The 20mg dose is the standard formulation for mild-to-moderate GERD, maintenance therapy after healing of erosive oesophagitis, and prophylaxis against NSAID-induced gastric ulcers. It is typically taken before the first meal of the day for optimal efficacy.
For more severe or refractory acid conditions requiring higher suppression, consider Eskem 40mg Capsule. For antibiotic combination regimens in H. pylori eradication, consult your physician about available options at Derma.pk General Medicines.
Safety Information: Swallow capsule whole — do not crush or chew. Long-term use may reduce magnesium and vitamin B12 levels. Not for self-diagnosis of serious GI conditions. Rx only — valid prescription required. Email to sales@derma.pk or WhatsApp +92-320-5999650.
