Esomeprazole 20mg can be used to relieve the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, and other conditions. It belongs to a class of medications called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs).
To relieve symptoms of GERD and other conditions related to stomach acid, the medication should be taken as needed, usually before or after a meal. It can be taken with or without food, but it is important to take it at the same time each day to maintain a consistent level of acid in the stomach.
For Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, the dose of esomeprazole should be gradually increased to reduce the chance of complications. In cases of reflux, the medication may be taken with food, but it is important to take it at the same time each day for optimal efficacy.

The British health authority said Thursday it was considering selling a generic version of Pfizer's heartburn drug Eszabol, which has been in short supply since its patent was first approved on June 25. But a spokesman for the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) said the company had "very low expectations," saying it had "no plans" to launch a generic version of the drug until after the patent expiration. The company said it would be "reaffirming" its stance. Pfizer said it had "no plans" to launch a generic version of Eszabol in the US on Dec. 6. The drug is still under patent and there was "no indication that it would be available until after the expiration of the patent," MHRA said.
AstraZeneca is now taking the notice of an agreement between Pfizer and AstraZeneca Pharmaceutical Industries to sell a generic version of the drug, which was introduced by AstraZeneca in 2010. AstraZeneca is a British-based pharmaceutical company that produces a number of pharmaceutical drugs including Pfizer's heartburn acid reducer and Nexium and the acid for ulcers, Prilosec and Zantac.
Pfizer said Thursday it would be reviewing its plans for selling the drug and will be making any necessary changes to its marketing strategy.
Shares in the company were down 0.6 per cent since Wednesday morning trading, and the stock had fallen about 7 per cent in the previous week.
Pfizer said in a statement it was "very concerned" by the decision, noting that "some other factors" could impact the company's decision to sell the drug. It was also concerned that it may not be able to identify the drug for generic use on its own. The announcement was made after a study by the European Medicines Agency found that patients with high heartburn risk had a "lower incidence of severe gastroesophageal reflux disease, ulcers and bleeding."
Esomeprazole, the brand name for Eszabol, is also in short supply. The drug is available as a generic equivalent of the drug Prilosec in Europe.
AstraZeneca said the company had "very low expectations" as it could be able to identify the drug's side effects on patients who may have been taking the medication previously and could not be assessed by the MHRA.
Pfizer says the company is in "a position to continue to produce and sell the branded product as long as the patent on the drug is not expiration.AstraZeneca said it was "very concerned" by the decision, noting that its shares were down 8.8 per cent since Wednesday morning trading. "We are concerned about the impact on our shares, and the impact on the company and we are taking steps to address that," the company said.
The company's shares were down 6.5 per cent since Wednesday morning. Pfizer said it was "very concerned" by the decision and the fact that it had not disclosed the risks of a generic version of the drug until now.
