Espra 40mg Capsule (Esomeprazole) is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to reduce excess stomach acid and manage related digestive conditions.

It contains esomeprazole, which works by inhibiting the acid‑producing pumps in the stomach lining to decrease acid secretion. This helps relieve symptoms such as heartburn, acid reflux, and indigestion. Espra 40mg is commonly prescribed for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), erosive esophagitis, and peptic ulcer disease. Regular use under medical supervision helps heal acid damage, provides long‑term relief, and prevents recurrence of symptoms. It is widely used in Pakistan for effective management of acid‑related digestive discomfort.
