Esoprex Capsule contains Esomeprazole 40 mg, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to reduce excess stomach acid production. It is commonly prescribed for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and other acid-related gastrointestinal disorders. This higher-strength formulation provides more potent acid suppression, making it suitable for moderate to severe conditions.

Esomeprazole helps relieve symptoms such as heartburn, acid regurgitation, and chest discomfort while promoting healing of the esophagus and stomach lining.
