Eskem 40mg Capsule — Esomeprazole for Severe Acid Reflux & Ulcers
Description
Eskem 40mg Capsule contains Esomeprazole 40mg, a high-dose proton pump inhibitor (PPI) prescribed for adults with severe or refractory GERD, active peptic ulcer disease, Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome, and conditions requiring intensive, prolonged acid suppression. The 40mg dose delivers superior gastric acid inhibition compared to the 20mg formulation.
Commonly prescribed for healing grades C and D erosive oesophagitis, as part of H. pylori eradication triple or quadruple therapy, and in patients where the 20mg dose has not provided adequate symptom relief. Swallow the capsule whole before meals for optimal efficacy.
For mild-to-moderate GERD or maintenance therapy after healing, consider the lower-dose Eskem 20mg Capsule. Additional gastroprotective regimens and general medicines are available at Derma.pk.
Safety Information: Swallow capsule whole — do not crush or chew. Long-term high-dose PPI use may reduce magnesium, vitamin B12, and increase fracture risk. Rx only — valid prescription required. Email to sales@derma.pk or WhatsApp +92-320-5999650.
