Esomer 40mg 28 gastro-resistant tablets — Made in Italy — Free Delivery

This preparation belongs to the group of preparations used to treat gastrointestinal ulcers and gastroesophageal reflux.

The main active ingredient, esomeprazole, is a proton pump that helps to suppress the secretion of gastric juices.

The mechanism of action is due to the ability to inhibit the acid pump of specific cells. At the same time, it is activated in acidic environments located in the secretory tubules of cells, in which an enzyme is inhibited, which, in turn, has the property of suppressing the secretion of acids in the gastrointestinal tract.

It has been found that with oral administration of esomeprazole, almost 80% of patients with gastroesophageal reflux recover within a few weeks.

This can cause gastric glandular cysts that are benign and reversible.

The number of positive bacteria in the digestive tract is also growing. At the same time, the risk of intestinal infections, in particular salmonellosis, increases.
