How esomeprazole relieves heartburn and indigestion

Acid reflux and heartburn happen when excess stomach acid travels up your food pipe or oesophagus, causing irritation and a burning sensation in your chest. Esomeprazole is a type of medication known as a proton pump inhibitor or PPI. These medications relieve heartburn and acid reflux by reducing the amount of stomach acid you produce, reducing the chances of it travelling into your food pipe. This gives your food pipe time to heal from previous irritation while reducing symptoms like heartburn, burping, and a sour taste in your mouth.

Directions

You may not notice an immediate improvement in your symptoms until day 2 or 3 of your treatment, if your symptoms get worse or you do not notice any improvement after taking your medication for 14 days in a row you should speak to your doctor.
