Esomeprazole Injection

Esomeprazole injection is a medication used for short-term treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) with erosive esophagitis in adults and children. It is also used for the reduction of the risk of gastric ulcers associated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in adults who are at risk of developing complications from gastric ulcers. The medication works by reducing the amount of acid produced by the stomach.

• Gently massage the cream into your skin until it is fully absorbed.
