Esomeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces stomach acid production.

Esomeprazole can also be prescribed to prevent stomach ulcers caused by NSAID use.

  • Headache
  • Nausea
  • Diarrhea or constipation
  • Abdominal pain
  • Dry mouth or gas

Less common but more serious side effects:

  • Low magnesium levels (with prolonged use)
  • Vitamin B12 deficiency
  • Bone fractures (especially with long-term use)
  • Increased risk of Clostridium difficile infection

Precautions:

  • Avoid long-term use unless prescribed, as it may increase risks of deficiencies, infections, and bone issues.
  • Inform your doctor if you have liver disease, low magnesium, or osteoporosis, as dose adjustments or monitoring may be necessary.
  • Be cautious when taking esomeprazole with other medications, such as clopidogrel or certain antifungals, due to potential interactions.
  • Generally, esomeprazole is taken before meals for optimal effectiveness.
