Maxpro 20 mg Tablet

Maxpro 20 mg Tablet contains esomeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor that lowers the amount of acid made in the stomach. It is used for acid reflux, heartburn related to GERD, and conditions where reducing stomach acid helps healing.

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.
