Pronex-MUPS Tablet 40 mg is a Modified-Release, Multiple Unit Pellet System (MUPS) formulation of Esomeprazole, a potent proton pump inhibitor (PPI) designed for effective and sustained acid suppression. The MUPS technology allows the tablet to disintegrate quickly in the stomach, releasing multiple tiny pellets that dissolve in the intestine, ensuring consistent absorption and reliable therapeutic action.

This higher-dose formulation is suitable for patients with moderate to severe acid-related disorders, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), erosive esophagitis, peptic ulcers, and hypersecretory conditions such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Pronex-MUPS 40 mg combines the proven efficacy of Esomeprazole with the advantages of MUPS technology, offering enhanced bioavailability, gastric stability, and ease of administration.

Mechanism of Action

Esomeprazole, the active ingredient in Pronex-MUPS 40 mg, is a proton pump inhibitor that:

• Irreversibly binds to the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme in the gastric parietal cells, inhibiting the final step of acid production

• Suppresses gastric acid secretion, reducing acid-related irritation in the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum

• Promotes healing of erosions and ulcers caused by excessive gastric acid

• Provides long-lasting acid suppression, typically up to 24 hours, ensuring consistent symptom control

By controlling excessive acid production, Pronex-MUPS 40 mg helps relieve heartburn, acid regurgitation, and epigastric discomfort, while protecting the gastrointestinal lining from further damage.

Indications

Pronex-MUPS Tablet 40 mg is indicated for:

• Severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), including erosive esophagitis

• Peptic ulcer disease, including gastric and duodenal ulcers

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

• Hypersecretory conditions, such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome

• Relief of persistent acid-related symptoms, including heartburn, regurgitation, and epigastric pain

The MUPS formulation is particularly beneficial for patients who require reliable absorption under variable gastric conditions or who have difficulty swallowing conventional tablets.

Dosage and Administration

• The recommended dose is 40 mg orally once daily, usually taken 30–60 minutes before a meal

• Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew to maintain the integrity of the MUPS pellets

• Duration of treatment depends on the condition and physician guidance

• Dose adjustment may be necessary for patients with severe liver impairment

• Consistent daily intake is important for optimal acid suppression and healing
