Esoprex MUPS Tablet contains Esomeprazole 40 mg in a Multiple Unit Pellet System (MUPS) formulation. This advanced delivery system ensures uniform distribution of the drug in the gastrointestinal tract, providing consistent and effective acid suppression. It is widely used for the treatment of acid-related disorders such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and erosive esophagitis.

The MUPS technology allows the tablet to disperse into multiple pellets in the stomach, enhancing absorption and reducing the risk of dose dumping, thereby improving therapeutic outcomes.
