What Experts Say

Esomeprazole blocks the pump in stomach cells that produces acid, lowering acid levels for up to 24 hours after a single dose.

It works best when taken on an empty stomach, about 30 to 60 minutes before the first meal of the day, and swallowed whole without crushing.

Long term use at high doses has been linked to lower magnesium and vitamin B12 levels, so periodic checks are advised for anyone using it for many months.
