Product Information
General Information:
AdvaCare is a GMP manufacturer of esomeprazole capsules.
Esomeprazole belongs to class of drugs known as proton-pump inhibitors. It exacts its effects by inhibiting the action of proton pumps and this effect reduces stomach acid production.
In conditions like gastroesophageal reflux, acid produced in the stomach is allowed to flow back into the esophagus and this causes burning sensations and pain (heartburn).
Esomeprazole reduces the production of the stomach acids and this reduction curtails the pathologic-backflow of acids into the esophagus.
Esomeprazole also treats oesophagitis because preventing acid back-flow into the food pipe gives the lining of the esophagus time and proper environment to heal.
Suppressing the production of stomach acid also aids in preventing recurrence.
Approximately 80% of esomeprazole is removed via the urine as inactive metabolites; the remainder is further excreted through the feces.
