✔️ Pharmacology

A proton pump inhibitor called Nexum MUPS 20 blocks the H+/K+ ATPase in the gastric parietal cell, 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.

✔️ Dosage & Administration of Nexum Mups 20

Esomeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach, making it effective for treating acid-related conditions such as erosive esophagitis and gastric ulcers. The dosing for different indications and age groups are as follows:

Adult (≥18 years):

• Erosive esophagitis: 40 mg once daily for 4 weeks
• Maintenance of healing of erosive esophagitis: 20 mg once daily
• Risk reduction in NSAID-associated gastric ulcer: 20 mg once daily for 4-8 weeks
• Pylori eradication (with amoxicillin and clarithromycin): 20 mg twice daily for 7 days
• Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and idiopathic hypersecretion: 40-80 mg twice daily

Children and adolescents (12-18 years):

• Erosive esophagitis: 40 mg once daily for 4 weeks
• Maintenance of healing of erosive esophagitis: 20 mg once daily
• Pylori eradication (with amoxicillin and clarithromycin): 20 mg twice daily for 7 days

Children (1-11 years):

• Erosive esophagitis: Weight <20 kg: 10 mg once daily for 8 weeks. Weight ≥20 kg: 10 mg or 20 mg once daily for 8 weeks

As with all medications, it's important to follow the dosing instructions provided by your healthcare provider and to report any side effects or concerns you may have.

✔️ Interaction

In the liver, esomeprazole is mostly metabolized by CYP2C19 and CYP3A4. In vitro and in vivo studies show that esomeprazole does not appear to inhibit CYPs 1A2, 2A6, 2C9, 2D6, or 3A4. There shouldn't be any clinically relevant interactions between these CYP enzymes and the medications you take. Drug interaction investigations have shown that esomeprazole does not interact clinically with phenytoin, warfarin, quinidine, clarithromycin, or amoxicillin.

Esomeprazole may affect CYP2C19, the enzyme that metabolizes the drug the most. Esomeprazole 30 mg decreased the clearance of diazepam by 45% when combined with the CYP2C19 substrate diazepam. Up to 12 hours after therapy, elevated diazepam plasma levels have been documented. Esomeprazole prevents the production of gastric acid. 

✔️ Contraindications

In patients who have a history of hypersensitivity to any of the formulations, esomeprazole is not recommended.

✔️ Pregnancy & Lactation

Caution is advised by the manufacturer. Esomeprazole or its metabolites are not known to occur in human breast milk.
