The 49.3 mg strength of Esomeprazole Strontium capsule is equivalent to the 40 mg of esomeprazole base in the Nexium dose. Esomeprazole Strontium capsules will be available in 30-count bottles, according to Amneal.
Esomeprazole Strontium is a proton pump inhibitor indicated for short-term use in adults for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), risk reduction of NSAID-associated gastric ulcer, H. pylori eraditiona to reduce the risk of duodenal ulcer recurrence, and pathological hypersecretory conditions.
