Esmoril 40 MG Tablet 10 is taken orally.

Esmoril 40 MG Tablet 10 contains esomeprazole (40 mg), which influences your body in the following ways:

• Proton pump blocker: Esomeprazole acts by permanently blocking an enzyme system in your stomach cells called the hydrogen/potassium adenosine triphosphatase (H+/K+ ATPase) or proton pump. This enzyme system is responsible for the acid production in your stomach.
• Acid production reducer: By inhibiting this proton pump, esomeprazole effectively controls the amount of acid produced in your stomach. This results in relief from symptoms associated with excessive stomach acid.

• Keep Esmoril 40 MG Tablet 10 at room temperature in a cool, dry place.
• Store the medicine away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture.
• Ensure the medicine is kept out of the reach of children to avoid accidental ingestion.
• Always check the expiration date on the packet before using the tablet.

• If you're dealing with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), try to eat smaller meals more frequently throughout the day. This can help reduce the production of stomach acid.
• For peptic ulcer disease, avoid foods and drinks that can increase stomach acid, such as spicy foods and caffeinated beverages. Instead, opt for a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables and lean proteins.
