STOMATIX
Overview:
Stomatix (Esomeprazole) is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) designed to provide long-lasting acid suppression for treating acid-related disorders. It works by blocking the final step of gastric acid production, offering relief from acid reflux, GERD, peptic ulcers, and gastritis. This highly effective treatment helps in healing damaged esophageal and stomach lining, ensuring long-term gastric health.

Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI)
Mild to Moderate GERD: 20 mg once daily for 4-8 weeks
Severe GERD & Erosive Esophagitis: 40 mg once daily for 4-8 weeks
Peptic Ulcers: 20-40 mg once daily for 4-6 weeks
Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome: 40 mg twice daily (adjusted as per doctor’s recommendation)
Take 30-60 minutes before a meal
Swallow whole; do not chew or crush
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- Peptic ulcers (gastric & duodenal ulcers)
- Erosive esophagitis
- Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (excess stomach acid production)
- NSAID-induced gastric ulcers
- Acid-related dyspepsia & heartburn
Esomeprazole blocks the H⁺/K⁺ ATPase enzyme (proton pump) in gastric parietal cells, reducing stomach acid production and providing prolonged acid control.
