  • What are Perrigo Esomeprazole Heartburn & Acid Reflux Control capsules?

    Perrigo Esomeprazole Heartburn & Acid Reflux Control Capsules provide quick relief for the symptoms of indigestion and acid reflux. Just one capsule can ease symptoms like heartburn, a sore throat, and that sour taste in your mouth caused by reflux.  

    How they work

    These capsules contain the active ingredient esomeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). Esomeprazole reduces the amount of stomach acid you produce, which prevents acid from travelling into your food pipe. This gives your food pipe time to heal from previous irritation, while reducing the symptoms of heartburn and acid reflux.  

    How to use these capsules

    Always take Perrigo Esomeprazole Heartburn & Acid Reflux Control Capsules as described in the patient information leaflet or as your doctor or one of our pharmacists has instructed you. Take one capsule per day, at any time of the day, for up to 14 days in a row. You may not notice any improvement in your symptoms until day two or three of your treatment. Do not take this treatment for more than 14 days in a row unless you have been advised to do so by your doctor or one of our pharmacists.
