Esomeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach. It is used to treat conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), ulcers, and other conditions caused by excess stomach acid. Esomeprazole is also sometimes used to prevent ulcers and other digestive problems in people taking certain medications or undergoing certain medical procedures.
