Esotac Injection 40 mg/vial contains Esomeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used for the treatment of acid-related disorders when oral therapy is not suitable or rapid acid suppression is required.

It is commonly used in hospital settings for conditions such as severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), bleeding peptic ulcers, and stress-related gastric acid problems. Esomeprazole injection helps reduce stomach acid production quickly and supports healing of the stomach and esophageal lining.
