Applications:

• Used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.
• Helps reduce stomach acid production, promoting healing and preventing acid-related damage.

Side Effects:

• Headache, nausea, and diarrhea.
• Long-term use may increase the risk of fractures, kidney issues, and vitamin B12 deficiency.

Esomeprazole is effective in reducing acid production, helping treat GERD and ulcers, but prolonged use can lead to some serious side effects, especially with prolonged therapy. It’s important to monitor for any complications, particularly with long-term use.
