Progut Injection 40 mg contains Esomeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used for rapid control of gastric acid secretion in patients who cannot take oral medication. It is widely used in hospital settings for acid-related gastrointestinal disorders, including severe gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and upper gastrointestinal bleeding. This injectable form provides fast and effective acid suppression under medical supervision.

Composition

• Esomeprazole 40 mg per vial

Indications

Mechanism of Action

Esomeprazole is the S-isomer of omeprazole and works by irreversibly inhibiting the hydrogen-potassium ATPase enzyme (proton pump) in gastric parietal cells. This blocks the final step of gastric acid secretion, resulting in rapid and sustained suppression of acid production, allowing healing of gastrointestinal mucosal damage.
