Description & Effects
PEPnil contains Esomeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that is highly effective in managing acid-related disorders, including Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome (ZES)—a rare condition characterized by excessive acid production in the stomach due to tumors called gastrinomas. These tumors lead to multiple, recurring peptic ulcers, which cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, heartburn, diarrhea, and in severe cases, gastrointestinal bleeding.Esomeprazole works by blocking the enzyme in the stomach wall that produces acid, thereby significantly reducing the amount of acid in the stomach. This reduction helps in the healing of ulcers, relief from acid-related symptoms, and prevention of further complications such as esophagitis or bleeding ulcers. In patients with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, where acid production is persistently high, PEPnil plays a vital role in managing the condition effectively.
Administered as an injection (especially in hospital settings), PEPnil ensures a rapid and controlled decrease in gastric acid levels, providing fast symptom relief when oral therapy is not feasible. It is generally well-tolerated, but long-term use should be monitored by healthcare providers to prevent side effects such as vitamin B12 deficiency, magnesium imbalance, or bone demineralization. Regular follow-up is recommended during prolonged treatment.
