Frequently asked questions

What does Esomeprazole Sodium treat?

Esomeprazole Sodium (Esomeprazole Sodium) may be used to treat duodenal ulcer, esophagitis, gastroesophageal reflux, heartburn, zollinger-ellison syndrome, helicobacter infections, based on NIH RxClass drug-classification data (conditions a drug may treat — not a verbatim copy of the FDA-approved label). This is general reference, not medical advice.

How does Esomeprazole Sodium work?

Esomeprazole Sodium is a proton pump inhibitor. Proton pump inhibitors block the H+/K+ ATPase 'proton pump' in the stomach's acid-making cells, the final step in producing stomach acid. By binding this pump, they sharply and lastingly cut acid output, easing heartburn and helping ulcers heal.

How much does Esomeprazole Sodium cost?

Nobody can tell you what you will pay — your price is set by your insurer's formulary, your deductible and the pharmacy's markup, and none of those are published. What IS published is what the pharmacy paid to acquire it: about $177.68 for 30, per the CMS NADAC survey. Treat that as the floor, not the quote — ask the pharmacist for the cash price as well as your copay, because for cheap generics the cash price often wins. Pharmacies pay less for a same-class option, Prevacid 24 Hr — about $5.10 on the same basis.

Is there a coupon or discount for Esomeprazole Sodium?
