Description
Esso Injection 40mg
Esso Injection 40mg contains esomeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces the production of stomach acid. It is used in cases where oral administration is not possible or not appropriate, such as in critically ill patients or those unable to swallow capsules. Esso Injection is typically prescribed for the treatment of conditions related to excessive acid production, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, and prevention of ulcers in high-risk patients.
