Emep MUPS Tablet 20 mg contains Esomeprazole 20 mg in a Multiple Unit Pellet System (MUPS) formulation, an advanced proton pump inhibitor (PPI) designed to provide effective and long-lasting control of stomach acid production. It is indicated for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), acid reflux, erosive esophagitis, gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, and other acid-related gastrointestinal disorders.

The MUPS formulation consists of numerous enteric-coated pellets compressed into a tablet. These pellets protect Esomeprazole from being broken down by stomach acid and release the medicine only after reaching the intestine, ensuring optimal absorption and consistent therapeutic effects. This innovative technology also offers flexibility for patients who have difficulty swallowing, as the tablet may be dispersed in water according to the product instructions and healthcare provider's advice.

By effectively reducing gastric acid secretion, Emep MUPS Tablet relieves symptoms such as heartburn, acid regurgitation, indigestion, and upper abdominal discomfort while promoting the healing of the stomach and esophageal lining. It is also used as part of combination therapy with appropriate antibiotics for the eradication of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, helping prevent the recurrence of peptic ulcers.

Composition

Each MUPS tablet contains:

• Esomeprazole 20 mg (Multiple Unit Pellet System)

How Emep MUPS Tablet Works

Esomeprazole belongs to the proton pump inhibitor (PPI) class of medicines. It works by irreversibly blocking the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme (proton pump) in the acid-producing cells of the stomach.

The enteric-coated pellets in the MUPS formulation protect the medicine from stomach acid until it reaches the intestine, where it is absorbed into the bloodstream. Esomeprazole then suppresses the final step of gastric acid production, reducing stomach acidity, promoting ulcer healing, and preventing further damage to the stomach and esophagus.
