Maxpro 20 mg Tablet

Maxpro 20 mg is Renata's esomeprazole brand, one of the leading acid-suppressing medicines in Bangladesh. Esomeprazole is the S-isomer of omeprazole and provides effective, long-lasting control of stomach acid.

It is prescribed for GERD, ulcers and other acid-related disorders.

• Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and erosive oesophagitis
• Gastric and duodenal ulcers
• NSAID-associated ulcer prevention
• H. pylori eradication (with antibiotics)
• Zollinger–Ellison syndrome

Adults: 20–40 mg once daily, at least one hour before a meal. Treatment usually lasts 4–8 weeks for healing, with the dose adjusted by your doctor.

Swallow whole — do not crush or chew the tablet.

Possible side effects include:

• Headache
• Nausea, abdominal pain
• Diarrhoea or constipation
• Flatulence, dry mouth

Long-term use carries the same considerations as other PPIs (B12, magnesium, bone health).

Caution: See a doctor before long-term use. Seek urgent care if you have alarm symptoms — unintentional weight loss, repeated vomiting, difficulty swallowing, blood in vomit or black stools. These need investigation, not just acid suppression.

Esomeprazole may interact with clopidogrel (reduced effect), ketoconazole/itraconazole (reduced absorption), diazepam, phenytoin, warfarin and methotrexate.

Hypersensitivity to esomeprazole or other PPIs; concurrent use with rilpivirine.

Use in pregnancy only when necessary and advised by a doctor. Caution during breastfeeding — limited human data.

Store below 30°C in a dry place. Keep out of reach of children.
