GARDIZOLE 40 INJ.

Product Description:

GARDIZOLE 40 Injection contains Esomeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor used to reduce the production of stomach acid. It is used in hospitalised patients who cannot take oral medication and need acid suppression for conditions like bleeding peptic ulcers, severe GERD, or Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. It is administered by IV infusion in a clinical setting.

Key Benefits:

• Rapidly reduces stomach acid production for quick relief in critically ill patients
• Helps heal peptic ulcers by reducing acid that aggravates the stomach lining
• Prevents stress-related mucosal ulcers in patients in the ICU
• Suitable for patients who cannot take oral medicines ? given directly into the vein

How It Works:

Esomeprazole works by blocking the proton pumps in the stomach lining ? these are the final step in acid production. By switching off these pumps, it significantly reduces the amount of acid produced, allowing the stomach lining to heal. The injection form ensures a rapid effect compared to oral tablets.

Dosage & Administration:

• Use only as prescribed by your doctor ? do not adjust dose or frequency on your own
• Take the full prescribed course to ensure the stomach lining heals completely
• Given by slow intravenous infusion only ? not suitable for IM injection or self-administration

Precautions:

• Inform your doctor if you have liver disease ? dose adjustment may be required
• Long-term use may affect magnesium and vitamin B12 levels ? report weakness or numbness
• Inform all your doctors about this medication as it may interact with other drugs like clopidogrel

Possible Side Effects:

• Headache or dizziness

• Injection site reactions (redness, swelling)

(Check with your Doctor if any of these side effects persist or worry you.)
