An ulcer is an open sore on an external or internal surface of the body, caused by a break in the skin or mucous membrane. There are four stages of ulcers. Stage I ulcers are those that are yet to break through the skin, stage II ulcers have a break in the top two layers of skin, stage III ulcers affect the top two layers of skin, as well as fatty tissue, and stage IV ulcers are the ones that have already created deep wounds that may affect muscle, tendons, ligaments, and bone.
At least one in every ten people develop some kind of ulcer. However, there are medications like Esomeprazole, Dexlansoprazole, etc, that are quite helpful in healing ulcers. As a globally reputed pharmaceutical manufacturing and exporting company, we do maintain a strong inventory of such anti-ulcer medications to be delivered at any point of time, anywhere in the world.

How does Esomeprazole work?
Being a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), Esomeprazole works by reducing the amount of acid in the stomach which helps in the relief of acid-related indigestion and heartburn.
It prevents the final step in gastric acid production by strongly binding to sulfhydryl groups of cysteines found on the (H+, K+)-ATPase enzyme at the secretory surface of gastric parietal cells. This eventually leads to the inhibition of both basal and stimulated gastric acid secretion, irrespective of the stimulus.
How long does Esomeprazole take to show full results?
One starts to feel better within 2 to 3 days, but it may take up to 4 weeks for esomeprazole to work fully.
