Important Information
Esomeprazole Tablets IP should be used according to the advice of a qualified healthcare professional. Long-term or high-dose use may require medical monitoring because prolonged acid suppression can be associated with conditions such as vitamin B12 or magnesium deficiency, bone fractures, and certain gastrointestinal infections. Inform your doctor about other medicines you are taking and any history of liver disease or other medical conditions. Seek medical advice if symptoms persist, worsen, or are accompanied by difficulty swallowing, unexplained weight loss, vomiting blood, or black stools.
