Here's how to take Esokem 40 Tablet 15:

• Remember to take the tablet at least an hour before you eat, ideally in the morning.

• Always follow your doctor's advice on how to take this medicine.

Esokem 40 Tablet 15 is taken orally.

Esokem 40 Tablet 15 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 Esokem 40 Tablet 15 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.
