Indications of Maxpro 20mg Capsule

Esomeprazole is not intended to provide fast relief from heartburn symptoms. Esomeprazole is a medication that is used to treat the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and other disorders involving excess stomach acid, such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Esomeprazole is also used to help repair erosive esophagitis. (damage to your esophagus caused by stomach acid).

Esomeprazole may also be used to prevent stomach ulcers caused by Helicobacter pylori infection or the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications. (NSAIDs).

Pharmacology

The H+/K+ ATPase in the gastric parietal cell is inhibited by the proton pump inhibitor esomeprazole, which reduces the amount of stomach acid produced. Esomeprazole (omeprazole's S-isomer), the first proton pump inhibitor with a single optical isomer, offers better acid control than racemic proton pump inhibitors.

Administrations of Maxpro 20

Esomeprazole Capsule: should be swallowed whole and taken one hour before a meal.

Interaction of Maxpro 20

CYP2C19 and CYP3A4 substantially metabolize esomeprazole in the liver. Esomeprazole does not appear to inhibit CYPs 1A2, 2A6, 2C9, 2D6, 2E1, or 3A4 in vitro or in vivo investigations. There should be no clinically significant interactions with medicines processed by these CYP enzymes. Esomeprazole has no clinically significant interactions with phenytoin, warfarin, quinidine, clarithromycin, or amoxicillin, according to drug interaction studies.

Gastric acid secretion is inhibited by esomeprazole. As a result, Esomeprazole may interfere with the absorption of medications whose bioavailability is influenced by gastrointestinal pH. (e.g., ketoconazole, iron salts and digoxin).

Oral contraceptives, diazepam, phenytoin, or quinidine appear to have no effect on Esomeprazole's pharmacokinetic profile.

Clarithromycin in Combination Therapy: When esomeprazole, clarithromycin, and amoxicillin are given together, the plasma levels of esomeprazole and 14-hydroxy clarithromycin rise.

Contraindications

Esomeprazole is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to any of the formulations.

Pregnancy & Lactation

In pregnant women, there are no adequate and well-controlled considerations. Teratogenic effects have not been discovered in animal studies. Esomeprazole excretion in the drain has not been studied. Breastfeeding should thus be discontinued if the use of esomeprazole is thought to be essential.

Precautions & Warnings

If the patient has severe liver failure and renal impairment, esomeprazole should be administered with caution. Proton pump inhibitors, such as Esomeprazole, may marginally increase the risk of hip, wrist, and spine fractures, especially when used for more than a year.

Storage Conditions

Store in a cool & dry place below 25ºC, and protect from light. Keep out of reach of children.
