FAQ

Esomeprazole can affect the way other acid reflux medicines work while also increasing the risk of side effects to a great extent.

It is safe to take Esomeprazole under medical supervision for up to 8 weeks. However, long-term use of the medication puts one at risk of side effects like bone thinning and gut infections.

Esomeprazole must be taken once a day, ideally first thing in the morning with or without food.

Esomeprazole is more potent than Omeprazole as it has a different molecular structure, making it more effective in acid control.

Esomeprazole works by blocking proton pumps in the stomach lining that produce gastric acid. By inhibiting acid production, it helps relieve symptoms of acid reflux, heal ulcers, and prevent damage to the esophagus.

Esomeprazole should not be taken by individuals who are allergic to esomeprazole or other PPIs, or those with severe liver conditions. Always consult your healthcare provider if you have any pre-existing medical conditions before starting Esomeprazole.

Moderate alcohol consumption is generally safe, but excessive drinking can irritate the stomach and worsen acid reflux. It's best to limit alcohol intake or consult your doctor for more guidance on alcohol use with Esomeprazole.

Yes, Esomeprazole can interact with certain medications, including antifungal drugs, blood thinners, and anti-seizure medications. Always inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are currently taking to avoid potential interactions.

It’s not recommended to stop taking Esomeprazole suddenly without consulting your doctor, especially if you’ve been using it for a long time. Stopping abruptly may cause a rebound increase in stomach acid production. Your doctor can guide you on how to taper off the medication if needed.
