Esomeprazole

Esomeprazole is a medication used to reduce stomach acid production. It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), stomach ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. As a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), it works by blocking the proton pump in the stomach lining, reducing the amount of acid produced. This helps alleviate symptoms like heartburn and promotes healing of the stomach lining.
