Pronex-MUPS Tablet 20 mg is a Modified-Release, Multiple Unit Pellet System (MUPS) formulation of Esomeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) designed to provide effective and sustained acid suppression. The MUPS technology allows the tablet to disintegrate rapidly in the stomach, releasing multiple tiny pellets that dissolve in the intestine, ensuring consistent absorption and therapeutic action.

This tablet is indicated for the treatment of acid-related gastrointestinal disorders, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), erosive esophagitis, peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Pronex-MUPS 20 mg offers the benefits of conventional Esomeprazole with enhanced gastric stability, improved bioavailability, and ease of administration, making it suitable for patients who require reliable acid control.

Mechanism of Action

Esomeprazole in Pronex-MUPS 20 mg is a proton pump inhibitor that:

• Irreversibly inhibits the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme in the gastric parietal cells, the final step in gastric acid production

• Suppresses gastric acid secretion, providing long-lasting acid control

• Reduces irritation of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum, promoting healing of erosions and ulcers

• Offers consistent plasma concentrations due to the MUPS formulation, enhancing therapeutic efficacy

By targeting the source of acid secretion, Pronex-MUPS 20 mg provides relief from heartburn, acid regurgitation, and epigastric discomfort, and helps prevent acid-related complications.

Indications

Pronex-MUPS Tablet 20 mg is indicated for:

• Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), including mild to moderate erosive esophagitis

• Prevention of ulcer recurrence, including cases associated with Helicobacter pylori infection as part of combination therapy

• Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and other hypersecretory disorders

• Relief of acid-related symptoms such as heartburn, acid reflux, and epigastric discomfort

The MUPS preparation is particularly useful for patients who have difficulty swallowing conventional tablets or need reliable absorption under varying gastric conditions.

Dosage and Administration

• The recommended dose is 20 mg orally once daily, preferably 30–60 minutes before a meal
