1. What is Esomeprazol Teva and what is it used for

Esomeprazol Teva contains a medicine called esomeprazol, which belongs to a group of medicines called “proton pump inhibitors”. These work by reducing the amount of acid produced by the stomach.

Esomeprazol Teva is used for the short-term treatment of symptoms of reflux (such as heartburn and acid regurgitation).

Reflux occurs when stomach acid rises up into the esophagus (the tube that goes from the throat to the stomach), which can become inflamed and painful. This can cause symptoms such as a painful sensation in the chest that rises up to the throat (heartburn) and a sour taste in the mouth (acid regurgitation).

You may experience relief from acid reflux symptoms and heartburn after the first day of taking this medicine, but it does not mean you will feel immediate relief. You may need to take the tablets for 2-3 consecutive days before you feel better. You should consult a doctor if your symptoms worsen or do not improve after 14 days.

This medicine should not be used by children and adolescents under 12 years old.

Other medicines and Esomeprazol Teva

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken or might take any other medicines, including those obtained without a prescription. This is because esomeprazol can affect how some medicines work and some medicines can influence the effect of esomeprazol.

Do not take esomeprazol if you are taking:

  • A medicine that contains nelfinavir(used to treat HIV infection).

Tell your doctor if you are taking any of the following medicines:

  • Atazanavir (used to treat HIV infection).
  • Clopidogrel (used to prevent blood clots)
  • Ketoconazole, itraconazole, or voriconazole (for fungal infections).
  • Erlotinib (used to treat cancer)
  • Citalopram, imipramine, clomipramine (for depression).

  • Cilostazol (used to treat intermittent claudication - leg pain when walking caused by insufficient blood pumping)
  • Cisapride (used for indigestion and heartburn).

  • Rifampicin (used to treat tuberculosis)
  • St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum) (used to treat depression).

If your doctor has prescribed the antibiotics amoxicillin and clarithromycin in addition to Esomeprazol Teva to treat ulcers caused by Helicobacter pylori, it is very important that you inform your doctor if you are taking any other medicine.

Esomeprazol Teva with food and drinks

You can take the tablets with food or on an empty stomach.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

If you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine.

It is not known if Esomeprazol Teva passes into breast milk. Therefore, Esomeprazol Teva should not be taken during breastfeeding.

Driving and using machines

Esomeprazol Teva is unlikely to affect your ability to drive or use tools or machines. However, rare or uncommon side effects such as dizziness or blurred vision (see section 4) may occur. Do not drive or use machines if you notice any of these effects.

Esomeprazol Teva contains sodium

This medicine contains less than 1 mmol of sodium (23 mg) per tablet; this is essentially “sodium-free”.

3. How to take Esomeprazol Teva

Follow the instructions for administration of this medicine indicated by your doctor or pharmacist. In case of doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist again.

Taking this medicine

  • The recommended dose is one capsule per day
  • Do not take more than one capsule per day (20 mg), even if you do not feel immediate improvement.
  • You may need to take the capsules for 2 or 3 consecutive days before your reflux symptoms improve (such as heartburn and acid regurgitation).
  • The duration of treatment is up to 14 days
  • You can take the tablets at any time of day
  • You can take the tablets with food or on an empty stomach.
  • When your reflux symptoms have completely disappeared, you should stop taking this medicine.
  • If your reflux symptoms worsen or do not improve after taking this medicine for 14 consecutive days, you should consult a doctor.
  • Swallow the tablets whole with a glass of water. Do not chew or crush the tablets. This is because the tablets contain coated granules that prevent the medicine from being destroyed by stomach acid. It is important not to damage the granules.

What to do if you have difficulty swallowing

  • If you have difficulty swallowing the tablets:
    • Put the tablets in a glass of still water. Do not use other liquids.
    • Stir until the tablets disintegrate (the solution will not be transparent). You can drink the mixture immediately or within 30 minutes. Always stir just before drinking.
    • To ensure you have taken all the medicine, rinse the glass well with half a glass of water and drink. The solid particles contain the medicine - do not chew or crush the granules.
  • If you are unable to swallow at all, the tablets can be dispersed in water and introduced into a syringe. They can then be administered directly into the stomach through a tube (gastric tube).

If you take more Esomeprazol Teva than you should

In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately or call the Toxicology Information Service, telephone: 91 562 04 20, indicating the medicine and the amount ingested.

If you forget to take Esomeprazol Teva

  • If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, do not take the missed dose.
  • Do not take a double dose to make up for missed doses.

If you have any other questions about the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

If you have an infection with symptoms such as fever with a severe worsening of your general condition or fever with symptoms of a local infection such as pain in the neck, throat, mouth, or difficulty urinating, you should consult your doctor as soon as possible to rule out a decrease in the number of white blood cells (agranulocytosis) with a blood test.
