What is ESONEXT?

ESONEXT contains esomeprazole which is used to treat gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD), a condition in which backward flow of acid from the stomach causes heartburn and possible injury of the esophagus (the tube between the throat and stomach). ESONEXT is used to treat the symptoms of GERD, allow the esophagus to heal, and prevent further damage to the esophagus. ESONEXT is also used to decrease the chance that people who are taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) will develop ulcers (sores in the lining of the stomach or intestine). It is also used with other medications to treat and prevent the return of stomach ulcers caused by a certain type of bacteria (H. pylori). ESONEXT is also used to treat conditions in which the stomach produces too much acid such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. ESONEXT is in a class of medications called proton pump inhibitors. It works by decreasing the amount of acid made in the stomach.

How should this Medicine be used?

ESONEXT comes as a delayed-release (long-acting) capsule to take by mouth. ESONEXT is usually taken once a day at least 1 hour before a meal. When ESONEXT is used to treat certain conditions in which the stomach makes too much acid, it is taken twice a day. Take ESONEXT at around the same time(s) every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take ESONEXT exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than or for a longer period of time than prescribed by your doctor or stated on the package.

Swallow the capsules whole; do not split, chew, or crush them.
