ESOMEPRAZOLE VIATRIS CONSEIL contains the active ingredient esomeprazole. It belongs to a group of medications called “proton pump inhibitors.” They work by reducing the amount of acid produced by the stomach. This medication is used in adults for the short-term treatment of symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux (e.g., heartburn and acid regurgitation). Gastroesophageal reflux is the backward flow of acid from the stomach into the esophagus, which can become inflamed and painful. This condition can cause symptoms such as a painful sensation in the chest that extends up to the throat (heartburn) and a sour taste in the mouth (acid regurgitation).

Drug treatment for gastroesophageal reflux is only considered when the following simple measures have failed to relieve the symptoms:
- Do not lie down within two hours of a meal;
- Do not bend forward (bend your knees to pick up objects);
- Do not wear clothing that compresses the abdomen (girdles, etc.) ;
- Raise the head of the bed by 5 to 10 cm by placing blocks under the legs or a thick pillow under the mattress;
- Avoid carbonated beverages; choose foods that are easy to digest.
These tips are intended to prevent acidic stomach contents from flowing back into the esophagus during digestion.
If you smoke, continuing to smoke is a major obstacle to treatment; nicotine increases stomach acidity and reduces the effectiveness of the muscle that closes the junction between the esophagus and the stomach.
