What Experts Say

Esomeprazole works by blocking the proton pumps in the stomach lining that produce acid, which lowers overall acid levels and allows irritated tissue in the esophagus and stomach to heal. It is one of the more potent acid suppressing medicines available for reflux and ulcers.

Arysa is usually taken once daily, at least thirty minutes before a meal, since food can reduce how well it works. Most people notice relief from heartburn and acid reflux within a few days, though ulcer healing can take several weeks of consistent use.

Long term use of high dose PPIs has been linked to a higher risk of bone fractures, vitamin B12 deficiency, and gut infections. Doctors usually prescribe the lowest effective dose for the shortest time needed and review the need for ongoing use periodically.
