Check the dosage form and strength:

Always match the substitute’s strength (e.g., 5mg, 10mg) and form (tablet, capsule, syrup) with what your doctor prescribed.

Uses

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and stomach ulcers.

Medicinal Benefits

Esogen 40 Injection contains esomeprazole which belongs to the class of drugs known as proton pump inhibitors used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (heartburn) and stomach ulcers caused by the use of NSAIDs (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs). It is also used to reduce the risk of further ulcer bleeding following an endoscopy in adults. Esogen 40 Injection works by irreversibly blocking the proton pump gate (which secretes stomach acid), thereby reducing stomach acid and treating acidity-related conditions.

No. Gas and acidity are two different conditions. Acidity is caused due to improper functioning of the valve (sphincter) located at the junction of the stomach and food pipe. As a result, stomach acid backflows and enters the upper part of the food pipe, causing heartburn. On the other hand, gas is the result of the digestion of food and drinks, eliminating gases like carbon dioxide, hydrogen, nitrogen, methane, etc., from the body.
