埃索美拉唑能长期服用吗

Esomeprazole can effectively inhibit gastric acid secretion and is clinically mainly used to treat gastroesophageal reflux diseases, such as erosive reflux esophagitis, long-term maintenance treatment for patients with cured esophagitis to prevent recurrence, and symptom control of gastroesophageal reflux disease. It is also often used in combination with appropriate antimicrobial therapy to eradicate Helicobacter pylori, thereby healing duodenal ulcers related to Helicobacter pylori infection and preventing the recurrence of peptic ulcers related to Helicobacter pylori infection. Can esomeprazole be taken long-term?

Esomeprazole should be taken correctly according to the usage and dosage under the guidance of a professional doctor. It is generally not recommended to take it in high doses for a long time.

Any drug will have certain side effects if taken for a long time, so esomeprazole cannot be taken for a long time. It can usually be stopped after 4-8 weeks of taking it.

Esomeprazole is not suitable for long-term use because it greatly inhibits the body's gastric acid production. Gastric acid is not only an important substance that helps the human body digest and absorb, but is also an important immune barrier for the human body. If you take esomeprazole for a long time, it will cause magnesium and calcium deficiency in the body, induce hypomagnesemia and osteoporosis, and may also increase the risk of human infection with various diseases.

Pregnant and breastfeeding women using esomeprazole:

Clinical data on the use of esomeprazole in pregnant women are limited. Animal experiments have not shown that esomeprazole has direct or indirect damage to animal embryos or fetal development. Animal experiments with the racemic mixture (omeprazole) have also not shown direct or indirect harmful effects on animal pregnancy, parturition or postnatal development of the fetus. However, pregnant women should use esomeprazole with caution. It is unknown whether esomeprazole is excreted in human milk. It has also not been studied in breastfeeding women, so esomeprazole should not be used during breastfeeding.

Pediatric Use: Esomeprazole should not be used in children as there are no relevant data.

Geriatric Use: No dosage adjustment is required for esomeprazole in elderly patients.
