    Children aged 12 years and older

    Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD):

  • Treatment of esophageal inflammation due to reflux. Long -term treatment for patients with healed esophagitis to prevent recurrence.

  • Treatment of symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
  • Combined with antibiotics in the treatment of duodenal ulcer caused by Helicobacter pylori.

    Pharmacokology

    Esomeprazole is the isomorphic form S - Omeprazole and reduces the excretion of gastric acid with a specialized mechanism of impact. The drug is a specific inhibitor of acidic pump in the stomach wall. Both types of isomers R - and S - of Omeprazole have similar pharmacological effects.

    Mechanism of action

    Esomeprazole is a weak base, concentrated and transformed into an active form in a high acidic environment in the cellular tip of the cell, where the drug will inhibit the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme (acid pump) and inhibit the basic secretion of the secretion due to stimulation.

    Capacity of Hoc Hoc

    After taking the oral dosage of Esomeprazole 20mg and 40mg, the drug onset has an impact within 1 hour. After repeating the dose of Esomeprazole 20mg, 1 time/day for 5 days, the maximum maximum acid secretion after stimulation with Pentagastrin decreases 90% when measured at 6 - 7 hours after taking the drug on the 5th day. The esophagus has symptoms.

    The rate of patients maintaining pH in the stomach> 4 minimum for 8.12 and 16 hours equivalent is 76%, 54% and 24% for Esomeprazole 20mg and 97%, 92% and 56% for Esomeprazole 40mg. When using AUC as a parameter representing the concentration of drugs in blood, the relationship between acid secret inhibition and drug concentration and the time of contact has been proven.

    pharmacokinetic

    absorption

    Esomeprazole is easily destroyed in the acidic environment and is taken in the form of micro -granules in the intestine, in vivo the conversion to isomer R is negligible.

    Esomeprazole is quickly absorbed with peak plasma concentrations reaching about 1 to 2 hours after drinking. Absolute bioavailability is 64% after taking a single dose of 40mg and increased to 89% after the dose is repeated 1 time/day.

    For Esomeprazole 20mg dose, these values ​​correspond to 50% and 68%. The food slows down and reduces the absorption of Esomeprazole, but this does not significantly change the effect of the drug on the acidity in the stomach.

    Distribution

    The distribution of the stable state in healthy people is about 0.22L/kg of body weight, 97% Esomeprazole binds to plasma proteins.

    Metabolism

    Esomeprazole is completely metabolized through the Cytochrome P450 (CYP) system. The main part of Esomeprazole metabolism depends on the polymorphic CYP2C19, responsible for the formation of hydroxy and desmethyl metabolites of Esomeprazole.

    The rest depends on another specific homogeneous substance, CYP3A4, under armpit for the formation of Esomeprazote Sulfon, the main metabolite in plasma.

    Elimination

    The following parameters mainly reflect the pharmacokinetics of individuals with enzymes CYP2C19. The total plasma clearance is about 17 l/hour after the single dose and about 9l/hour after the dose is repeated.

    Selling time for plasma is about 1.3 hours after the dose is repeated once a day.

    Esomeprazole is completely eliminated from plasma between doses without tend to accumulate during the one -time drug.

    The main metabolites of Esomeprazole do not work on gastric acid secretion. Nearly 80% of oral doses of Esomeprazole are excreted in the form of metabolites in urine, the rest in the feces. Under 1% of unchanged drugs found in urine.

    Before taking Mepilori hard capsules 40 OPC treat gastroesophageal reflux disease, peptic ulcer (2 blisters x 7 tablets)

    How to use

    Mepilori medicine Used orally. Should swallow all pills with water. Do not chew or crush medicine.

    Dosage

    Adults

    Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD):

  • Treatment of trend -due to reflux disease: 40mg x 1 time/day for 4 weeks. The recommendation for 4 more weeks for patients with untreated esophagitis patients or persistent symptoms.
  • Long -term treatment for patients with healed esophagitis to prevent recurrence: 20mg x 1 time/day.
  • Treatment of symptoms of thick skin diseases - esophagus (gerd):

  • 20mg x 1 time/day in patients without esophagitis. In patients with NSAID treatment, there is a risk of developing stomach and duodenal ulcers, not recommended to use the treatment regime according to demand to control symptoms later.

    Combined with appropriate antibacterial regimens to exorcise Helicobacter pylori, heal duodenal ulcers contaminated with Helicobacter pylori and prevent recurrence of thick skin ulcers - duodenum in Helicobacter pylori infection:

  • Esomeprazole 20mg with amoxicillin 1g and Clarithromycin 500mg, all used 2 times/day for 7 days.

    Heal stomach ulcers due to nonsteroidal anti -inflammatory drugs:

  • The usual dose of 20mg, 1 time/day. Treatment period is 4 - 8 weeks. Preventing stomach ulcers and duodenal ulcer due to nonsteroidal anti -inflammatory drugs in patients at risk: 20mg, 1 time/day.
  • The recommended starting dose is Esomeprazole 40mg x 2 times/day. The dose should be divided into 2 times/day.
  • Special subjects

    Patients with renal failure: No need to adjust the dose in patients with renal impairment. Due to limited experience in patients with severe renal failure, caution should be cautious in this patient.

    Patients with liver failure: No need to adjust the dose in patients with mild and medium liver failure. Esomeprazol dose for patients with severe liver failure must not exceed 20mg/day.

  • Long treatment for reception of healing of the healed to prevent recurrence: 20mg x 1 time/day.
  • Treatment of symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): 20mg x 1 time/day in patients without esophagitis. If symptom control is not achieved after 4 weeks, patients should be examined more in -depth. When symptoms are resolved, control symptoms then can be achieved with the use of 20mg/time/day.
  • Treatment of duodenal ulcer caused by Helicobacter pylori:

    When choosing appropriate coordination therapy, it is necessary to consider the official guidance of the nation, the region and the locality on bacterial resistance, treatment time (usually 7 days but sometimes up to 14 days), and the rational use of antibacterial agents. The treatment should be monitored by a doctor. The recommendations of the dose are:

    What to do when overdose?

    Symptoms

    So far has very little experience in intentional overdose. The described symptoms related to the use of 280mg dose are symptoms on the gastrointestinal tract and weakness. Single doses Esomeprazole 80mg have not caused any events.

    How to handle

    There is no specific antidote. Esomeprazole is strongly linked to plasma proteins and therefore cannot be easily separated. In case of overdose, symptomatic treatment and general support treatment.

    What to do when forgetting a dose? However, if the time is near the next dose, skip the forgotten dose. Do not double the dose (2 doses at 1 time) to compensate for the forgotten dose.

    Side Effects

    When using Mepilori , you may experience unwanted effects (ADR).

    Mepilori drugs in the following cases:

  • Hypersensitivity to Esomeprazole, the Benzimidazole group instead or any ingredients of the drug.

    Precautions when used

    When there is any warning symptom (such as significant weight loss, recurrent vomiting, difficulty swallowing, vomiting or black feces) and when it is or suspected of stomach ulcers, it is recommended to eliminate malignant diseases because Esomeprazole can reduce the symptoms and delay the diagnosis.

    Gastrointestinal infections: Proton pump inhibitors can lead to a slight increase in the risk of gastrointestinal infections such as Salmonella and Campylobacter.

    Vitamin B12 absorption: Esomeprazol can reduce the absorption of vitamin B12 due to reduced or deficient gastric acid.

    Magnesi blood decrease: Serious blood magnesia is reported in patients treated with proton pump inhibitors such as Esomeprazole for at least 3 months, and in most cases is 1 year.

    Increased risk of fractures: Proton pump inhibitors, especially when high doses and long -term (> 1 year), may increase the risk of broken muscle fractures of hip, neck, hands and spine, mainly in the elderly or when there are other recognized risk factors.

    Concentrated with other drugs: Non -recommended simultaneous use of Esomeprazole with other drugs such as Atazanavir, Clopidogrel.
