How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Esomeprazole Magnesium). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

Esomeprazole belongs to a class of antisecretory compounds, the substituted benzimidazoles, that suppress gastric acid secretion by specific inhibition of the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme system at the secretory surface of the gastric parietal cell.

Esomeprazole is protonated and converted in the acidic compartment of the parietal cell forming the active inhibitor, the achiral sulphenamide.

The shape is a standard model drawn from the two times above, not a measurement. How fast a medicine acts and wears off also depends on the dose, the form and the person.
How the body breaks it down

Esomeprazole is extensively metabolized in the liver by the cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzyme system.

How it leaves the body

Less than 1% of parent drug is excreted in the urine.

With food

The AUC after administration of a single 40 mg dose of esomeprazole magnesium delayed-release capsules is decreased by 43% to 53% after food intake compared to fasting conditions [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.3 )].
