Drug Interactions

• Metabolized mainly by CYP2C19 and CYP3A4

• May reduce absorption of drugs dependent on gastric pH (e.g., ketoconazole, iron salts, digoxin)

• Can increase plasma levels of diazepam

• No clinically significant interaction with amoxicillin, clarithromycin, phenytoin, warfarin, or oral contraceptives

Contraindications

• Known hypersensitivity to esomeprazole or any component of the formulation

Side Effects

Commonly reported side effects include:

• Headache

• Diarrhea

• Nausea

• Flatulence

• Abdominal pain

• Constipation

• Dry mouth

Long-term safety profiles are similar to short-term use.

Precautions and Warnings

• Symptomatic improvement does not exclude the presence of gastric malignancy

• Capsules should be taken at least one hour before meals

• Antacids may be used concomitantly if required

• Use with caution in patients with severe hepatic impairment

Overdose

• No specific antidote is available

• Management includes symptomatic and supportive care

• Hemodialysis is unlikely to be effective due to high protein binding

Storage Conditions

• Store in a dry place below 30°C

• Protect from moisture and light

• Keep out of reach of children

Mechanism of Action

Esomeprazole selectively inhibits the H⁺/K⁺-ATPase enzyme system in gastric parietal cells, thereby suppressing the final step of acid production. As the S-isomer of omeprazole, it provides more consistent and prolonged acid control compared to racemic proton pump inhibitors.

Use in Special Populations

• Pregnancy & Lactation: Use only if clearly needed; breastfeeding should be discontinued if therapy is essential

• Geriatric Use: No significant differences in safety or efficacy observed

• Hepatic Impairment: Maximum recommended dose is 20 mg once daily in severe impairment

• Renal Impairment: No dosage adjustment required.
