About Izra 20 Mg Tablet (Esomeprazole)

Izra 20 mg Tablet contains Esomeprazole as the active ingredient, used to treat Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and Peptic ulcer disease. GERD is a severe form of acid reflux where acid backflow irritates the lining of the esophagus. Symptoms can include frequent regurgitation, heartburn, difficulty swallowing, and a sensation of a lump in the throat. Peptic ulcers occur when there is a rupture in the lining of the stomach or small intestine. Ulcers in the stomach are known as gastric ulcers, while those in the first part of the intestines are called duodenal ulcers. The most common symptoms of duodenal ulcers are waking up at night with upper abdominal pain, while gastric ulcers may cause pain that worsens with eating. Other symptoms may include weight loss, vomiting, or poor appetite. This medicine is available at pharmacies, drugstores, and medical supply stores, and should only be taken as prescribed by a doctor.
