Doctors use it for acid reflux (GERD), heartburn, stomach and duodenal ulcers, H. pylori infection and ulcers caused by painkillers. This pack contains 14 capsules.

What is Gesteze 20mg Capsule used for?

Gesteze 20mg Capsule reduces stomach acid and is used for acid reflux (GERD), heartburn, stomach and duodenal ulcers, and ulcers triggered by painkillers. It is also part of the combination treatment that clears H. pylori bacteria from the stomach.

How does Gesteze 20mg Capsule work?

Esomeprazole switches off the acid pumps in the lining of the stomach. With much less acid being made, irritated tissue in the food pipe and stomach has a chance to heal and burning symptoms settle. Relief builds over a few days.
