About Esogress-IT 40 mg/150 mg Capsule

Esogress-IT 40 mg/150 mg Capsule is used to treat acidity, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), stomach ulcers (peptic ulcers, gastric ulcers due to H pylori), heartburn symptoms and Zollinger Ellison syndrome. Gastroesophageal reflux disease occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus). Peptic ulcers are sores that develop on the inner lining of the intestine and stomach. A gastric ulcer occurs mainly due to a bacteria known as H pylori, which irritates and weakens the upper protective layer or mucous of the stomach, leading to sores and ulcers.

Esogress-IT 40 mg/150 mg Capsule is a combination of two drugs: Esomeprazole and Itopride. Esomeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that works by blocking the action of an enzyme called the gastric proton pump, which is responsible for the production of stomach acid. Itopride is a gastroprokinetic agent that works by increasing the gastric emptying time, thereby improving the movement/motility of the food pipe, stomach, and intestine. Together, Esogress-IT 40 mg/150 mg Capsule helps in preventing acid reflux, thereby providing relief from symptoms of excessive stomach acid production, which causes an ulcer.

Take Esogress-IT 40 mg/150 mg Capsule 30-60 minutes before food/meal. Swallow Esogress-IT 40 mg/150 mg Capsule as a whole with a glass of water; do not chew or crush it. You are advised to take Esogress-IT 40 mg/150 mg Capsule for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as headache, flatulence, stomach pain, constipation, and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

On long-term treatment, Esogress-IT 40 mg/150 mg Capsule may cause osteoporosis, hypomagnesemia (low levels of magnesium), and may reduce the absorption of vitamin B12. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Esogress-IT 40 mg/150 mg Capsule may cause dizziness, so drive only if you are alert. Esogress-IT 40 mg/150 mg Capsule should not be given to children as safety has not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Esogress-IT 40 mg/150 mg Capsule as it could lead to increased drowsiness and can elevate the production of stomach acid. Keep your doctor informed about all the medicines and your health condition to rule out any side effects.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Acidity: The stomach is usually protected from acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets irritated or eroded, which leads to complications like GERD, hyperacidity, peptic ulcers and heartburn.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): It occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus). This backflow (acid reflux) irritates the food pipe and causes heartburn. Symptoms include heartburn, sour or bitter taste in the mouth, and difficulty swallowing.

Peptic ulcers: Peptic ulcers are sores that develop on the lining of the stomach and intestine due to erosion of the stomach's protective lining. Symptoms include nausea, changes in appetite, bloody or dark stools, unexplained weight loss, vomiting, and indigestion.
