Esomax 20mg Capsule — Esomeprazole for Acid Reflux & Gerd
Description
Esomax 20mg Capsule — Esomeprazole Proton Pump Inhibitor
Esomax 20mg Capsule contains Esomeprazole 20mg, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces gastric acid secretion by irreversibly inhibiting the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme in the gastric parietal cells.
This medicine requires a valid prescription from a licensed physician.
Clinical Uses
