Esoprex Capsule contains Esomeprazole 20 mg, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to reduce the amount of acid produced in the stomach. It is commonly prescribed for the treatment of acid-related gastrointestinal disorders such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and acid indigestion.

Esomeprazole provides effective and long-lasting acid suppression, helping to relieve symptoms like heartburn, chest discomfort, and acid regurgitation, while also promoting healing of the stomach and esophageal lining.
