Description
Zoleric contains the active ingredient esomeprazole, which is a proton pump inhibitor. Esomeprazole works by blocking the proton pumps in the stomach lining, reducing the secretion of stomach acid. This action helps alleviate symptoms associated with excessive stomach acid production, such as heartburn, acid reflux, and ulcers. Zoleric is prescribed by healthcare professionals to treat various acid-related conditions and promote healing of the esophagus and stomach lining.

Directions for Use:

1. Follow the prescribed dosage and instructions provided by your healthcare professional.
2. Take Zoleric on an empty stomach, at least one hour before a meal.
3. Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water; do not crush, chew, or break the tablet.
4. If you have difficulty swallowing the tablet, it can be mixed with water and administered through a nasogastric (NG) tube.
5. Do not consume the tablet with acidic fruit juices (e.g., orange juice) as they may affect its effectiveness.
6. Inform your healthcare provider about all other medications you are currently taking to avoid potential drug interactions.

Caution:

• Consult with a healthcare professional before using Zoleric, especially if you have liver disease, osteoporosis, or are taking other medications, including anti-coagulants.
• Long-term use of Zoleric may lead to an increased risk of bone fractures; discuss this risk with your healthcare provider.
• If you experience severe diarrhea, muscle cramps, or irregular heartbeat, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
• Report any signs of allergic reactions, such as rash, itching, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, to your healthcare provider promptly.
• Store Zoleric at room temperature, away from moisture and heat, and keep it out of the reach of children.
