Esomeprazole 40mg with Sodium Bicarbonate Uses
This combination is prescribed for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), conditions involving excessive stomach acid like Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, and healing of erosive esophagitis. The addition of Sodium Bicarbonate buffers the stomach contents, providing faster relief from acidity and discomfort.
How Does Esomeprazole 40mg with Sodium Bicarbonate Work
Esomeprazole inhibits the proton pumps in the stomach cells that produce gastric acid, significantly reducing acid output. Sodium Bicarbonate acts as a buffer to immediately neutralize stomach acid, protecting the stomach lining and decreasing discomfort upon ingestion.
