Esomeprazole .
Indication
Esoz relieves heartburn and other symptoms caused by the backflow of stomach acid into the canal to the stomach (the esophagus)—a condition known as gastroesophageal reflux disease. It is also indicated to heal the damage (erosive esophagitis) that reflux disease can cause.
Prescribed in combination with the antibiotics amoxicillin and clarithromycin, Esoz is also used to treat the infection that causes most duodenal ulcers (ulcers occurring just beyond the exit from the stomach).
Esoz works by reducing the production of stomach acid.
Instruction
Use Esoz as directed by your doctor.
-
Take Esoz at least one hour before meals.
-
Be careful to swallow it whole. If you have trouble swallowing capsules, you can open the capsule and carefully pour the pellets onto one tablespoon of applesauce. The applesauce should not be hot. Mix in the pellets, then swallow the applesauce immediately, without chewing.
-
If you miss a dose of Esoz, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to your regular schedule. Never take 2 doses at the same time.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Esoz.
Drug interaction
Esoz increases blood levels of diazepam (Valium) by decreasing the elimination of diazepam in the liver. Esoz and other PPIs reduce the absorption and concentration in blood of ketoconazole (Nizoral) and increase the absorption and concentration in blood of digoxin (Lanoxin). Co-administration of Esoz with Clarithromycin increaes area under the plasma concentration time curve (AUC) of the first. Esoz may slow down metabolism of such medications: citalopram, diazepam, clomipramine, phenytoin, imipramine. Consequently their dose should be corrected.
