Manufactured byBIOZENESIS HEALTHCARE
ContainsEsomeprazole
Description
Esozenam-IV is an anti-ulcer medicine. It is used to treat conditions where the stomach produces too much acid. Stomach and duodenal ulcers, gastroesophageal reflux disease (a condition in which the stomach acid flows back into your food pipe), and erosive esophagitis (swelling of the food pipe) are certain problems caused by high levels of stomach acid. Esozenam-IV interferes with the final step of acid release in the stomach. Thus, acidity in the stomach is decreased and the ulcer healing process is fastened. Common side effects of Esozenam-IV are nausea, vomiting, headache, stomach pain, and diarrhoea. Esozenam-IV is administered into your vein by a health care professional in a hospital or clinic. It is used for the short-term treatment of stomach and intestinal conditions when oral treatment is not possible or appropriate. Esozenam-IV is not recommended for use if you are allergic to it. Inform your doctor if you have liver or kidney problems, or any other health condition. Report all the medicines that you are taking to your doctor as they can interact with this medicine and reduce its effectiveness. If you are pregnant or are breastfeeding, consult your doctor before taking this medicine.
