Description

Emozul Capsules are used for the treatment of acid-related conditions such as acid reflux, heartburn, and ulcers. These capsules contain esomeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that effectively reduces the production of stomach acid. Emozul is suitable for adults and adolescents over the age of 12 and is often prescribed for both short-term relief and long-term management.

How It Works
Esomeprazole works by targeting the proton pumps in the stomach lining, the final step in the acid production process. By blocking these pumps, Emozul reduces the amount of acid secreted into the stomach. This helps to relieve symptoms such as heartburn, protect the stomach lining, and allow ulcers or inflammation in the oesophagus to heal.

Why Choose Emozul Capsules
Emozul is a well-tolerated, clinically effective treatment that provides reliable acid suppression. It helps reduce discomfort and improve quality of life for those with recurring symptoms of GORD or frequent indigestion. Once-daily dosing supports adherence, and the delayed-release capsules ensure that the medication is absorbed effectively without irritation.

Important Note
Emozul should only be taken as directed by a healthcare professional. Long-term use may increase the risk of vitamin B12 deficiency, bone fractures, or stomach infections. It should not be used for self-diagnosed heartburn without medical evaluation, especially if symptoms persist or worsen. Always inform your doctor of any other medications being taken, as PPIs can interact with drugs such as clopidogrel, warfarin, and digoxin.
