What Experts Say

Esomeprazole blocks the pumps in the stomach lining that produce acid, which lowers acid levels and lets irritated tissue heal.

It works best when taken on an empty stomach, thirty to sixty minutes before breakfast, and the capsule should be swallowed whole.

Long term use has been linked to lower vitamin B12 and magnesium levels and a higher fracture risk, so it should be used at the lowest dose needed.
