Esomeprazole used to treat:
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- Stomach ulcers and intestinal ulcers caused by Helicobacter pylori infection and NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs)
- Zollinger-Ellison syndrome
- Maxima 20mg Capsule belongs to the class of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). It reduces the amount of acid produced by the stomach by blocking the actions of the gastric proton pump enzyme (H+/K+ ATPase). This helps in treating conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), stomach ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
- Maxima 20mg Capsule works by preventing the release of stomach acid, thereby relieving symptoms of esophagitis (inflammation of the food pipe) and GERD, including heartburn. It is also effective in treating stomach ulcers and hyperacidity associated with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
- Maxima 20mg Capsule should be taken 1-2 hours prior to a meal. The duration of treatment with Maxima 20mg Capsule should be as prescribed by your doctor, based on your medical condition. It’s important to follow the dosage instructions provided by your doctor or mentioned in the medication package insert.
- Inform your doctor if you have a history of stomach or intestinal cancer, liver problems, or if you are allergic to Maxima 20mg Capsule. Prolonged use of Maxima 20mg Capsule may lead to a deficiency of Vitamin B12 and lower levels of calcium, magnesium, and Vitamin D, which can increase the risk of conditions like osteoporosis.
