Feb 09, 2024

Introduction

ESMOSTRUM FAST is a potent proton pump inhibitor (PPI) containing Esomeprazole 40 mg, designed to treat a wide range of acid-related gastrointestinal conditions such as GERD, gastric ulcers, and acid reflux disease. Manufactured under stringent WHO-GMP certified standards by Steris Healthcare Pvt Ltd, this formulation provides fast and long-lasting relief from excess stomach acid and associated discomfort.

What is Esomeprazole 40 mg?

Esomeprazole is the S-isomer of omeprazole, and it works by blocking the proton pumps in the stomach lining, reducing acid secretion at the source. It is highly effective, even in acid-resistant or chronic conditions.

ESMOSTRUM FAST Tablet Uses

Esomeprazole 40 mg is used to treat and manage:

  • Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

  • Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD)

  • Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome (ZES)

  • Erosive Esophagitis

  • NSAID-induced gastric ulcers

  • H. pylori eradication therapy (as part of triple therapy)

  • Acid reflux & chronic heartburn

It is also used as a preventive therapy for patients taking long-term NSAIDs or corticosteroids.

Mechanism of Action – How ESMOSTRUM FAST Works

Esomeprazole selectively inhibits H+/K+ ATPase enzyme, known as the proton pump, in gastric parietal cells. This suppresses the final step in acid production, leading to significant reduction in stomach acidity.
