Esotac Capsule 40 mg contains Esomeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used for the treatment of acid-related disorders of the stomach and esophagus. It is commonly prescribed when a higher dose is required for effective control of severe or persistent acidity symptoms.
Esomeprazole helps reduce excess stomach acid production, providing relief from heartburn, acid reflux, and helping in the healing of ulcers and inflammation in the stomach and esophagus.
