Esomeprazole, the active component of iMAX, is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that works by selectively blocking the H⁺/K⁺-ATPase enzyme in gastric parietal cells, thus reducing stomach acid production. As the S-isomer of omeprazole, esomeprazole offers more effective acid suppression than its racemic counterpart.
iMAX is used for:
- Long-term relief from persistent heartburn and GERD-related symptoms
- Healing and maintenance of healing in erosive esophagitis
- Eradication of Helicobacter pylori when used with amoxicillin and clarithromycin in duodenal ulcer cases
- Managing Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome
- Treating acid-related indigestion
- Healing duodenal and gastric ulcer
