How it differs from similar foods
Esomeprazole magnesium is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), which works differently than antacids or H2 blockers. PPIs reduce acid production at its source, offering a more sustained effect compared to antacids that neutralize existing acid. This formulation targets the mechanism of acid generation for longer-lasting symptom control.
