Exium MUPS Tablet 20 mg contains Esomeprazole in MUPS (Multiple Unit Pellet System) preparation, a modern formulation designed to provide effective and reliable acid suppression. Esomeprazole belongs to a class of medicines known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), which work by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach. This medicine is widely used for the treatment of acid-related gastrointestinal conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, gastritis, and acid reflux symptoms.

The MUPS formulation offers an advanced delivery system where the tablet contains multiple enteric-coated pellets. These pellets help protect the active ingredient from stomach acid and ensure that the medicine is released in the intestine for optimal absorption and therapeutic effect.

How It Works

Esomeprazole works by blocking the proton pump (H+/K+ ATPase enzyme) in the stomach lining. This enzyme is responsible for the final step of acid production. By inhibiting this pump, the tablet significantly lowers stomach acid secretion, helping to relieve symptoms and promote healing of ulcers and inflamed esophageal tissue.

The usual dose is one tablet once daily, preferably taken at least one hour before meals. The tablet should be swallowed whole with water and should not be crushed or chewed to maintain the integrity of the MUPS pellets.

Dosage may vary depending on the patient’s condition and physician’s recommendation.
