Marketed under the name ESMOSTRUM 40 INJ, this injectable form of Esomeprazole Sodium offers a potent and rapid solution for patients who require immediate acid suppression or those unable to take oral medications. This article delves into the uses, dosage, side effects, price, and other crucial details about ESMOSTRUM 40 INJ.

Introduction to ESMOSTRUM 40 INJ

ESMOSTRUM 40 INJ is a sterile, intravenous formulation of Esomeprazole Sodium. Esomeprazole is the S-isomer of omeprazole, providing more effective and longer-lasting acid suppression compared to omeprazole. It works by inhibiting the hydrogen-potassium ATPase enzyme system (the proton pump) in the gastric parietal cells, thereby reducing gastric acid secretion. This injectable form is particularly beneficial for patients who need quick relief from acid-related conditions or are unable to consume oral medications.

Uses of ESMOSTRUM 40 INJ

1. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

 ESMOSTRUM 40 INJ helps in reducing acid production, thus alleviating symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation, and discomfort.

2. Peptic Ulcer Disease

Peptic ulcers are sores that develop on the lining of the stomach, small intestine, or esophagus due to excessive acid production. ESMOSTRUM 40 INJ aids in healing these ulcers by lowering stomach acid levels, promoting a conducive environment for healing.

3. Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome

This rare condition is characterized by tumors in the pancreas or duodenum that cause excessive acid production. ESMOSTRUM 40 INJ is used to manage and control acid secretion in patients with this syndrome.

4. Prevention of Gastric Ulcers

In patients at risk of developing gastric ulcers due to prolonged use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), ESMOSTRUM 40 INJ provides prophylactic treatment to prevent ulcer formation.

5. Stress Ulcer Prophylaxis

Critically ill patients often develop stress ulcers due to the physiological stress of illness. ESMOSTRUM 40 INJ is used in intensive care settings to prevent the occurrence of these ulcers.

Dosage and Administration

The typical dosage of ESMOSTRUM 40 INJ for adults is 40 mg once daily, administered intravenously. The injection should be given slowly over a period of at least 3 minutes or infused over a period of 10-30 minutes.. It is crucial to follow the healthcare provider's instructions regarding dosage and duration of therapy.

Preparation and Administration Instructions
