Description
Maxima 20 is a proton pump inhibitor medication used to manage GERD, erosive esophagitis, and acid-related stomach conditions. It effectively suppresses acid with minimal side effects.

Benefits
Maxima 20 effectively relieves chronic heartburn, promotes the healing of erosive esophagitis, reduces duodenal and gastric ulcers, and aids in the eradication of Helicobacter pylori infections.

Ingredients
The active ingredient is Esomeprazole Magnesium Trihydrate, formulated as 20 mg enteric-coated tablets.

Uses and Doses
For erosive esophagitis, the dose is 20-40 mg once daily for 4-8 weeks. For GERD, 20 mg once daily for 4 weeks is recommended. Helicobacter pylori eradication uses a combination of Esomeprazole 40 mg, amoxicillin, and clarithromycin for 10 days. Dosages for conditions like Zollinger-Ellison syndrome and acid dyspepsia vary and must be individualized.

Side Effects
Common side effects include headache, nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, flatulence, constipation, and dry mouth. Long-term use does not significantly increase adverse events.

How to Use
Take Maxima 20 at least one hour before meals. Swallow the tablet whole or mix its contents with applesauce if swallowing is difficult. Avoid chewing or crushing the pellets.

Pregnancy & Lactation
There are no well-controlled studies on pregnant women. Animal studies have shown no teratogenic effects. Breastfeeding should be avoided if treatment with Esomeprazole is necessary.

Precautions and Warnings
A response to Esomeprazole does not eliminate the risk of gastric cancer. Capsules should be taken as prescribed, and the contents must not be chewed. Use caution with drugs affected by gastric pH.
