Description

Contour (20mg) Capsules contains Esomeprazole 20mg, a prescription medicine that helps reduce the amount of acid produced in the stomach. It belongs to the proton pump inhibitor (PPI) class of medicines and works by blocking the stomach’s acid-producing pumps. By lowering stomach acid, Contour helps relieve symptoms of acid-related digestive disorders and promotes healing of damaged tissues in the esophagus and stomach.

Contour 20mg is commonly prescribed for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), acid reflux, heartburn, erosive esophagitis, and gastric or duodenal ulcers. It may also be used in combination with antibiotics to help eliminate Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in patients with peptic ulcers. In some cases, it is prescribed to help prevent stomach ulcers associated with long-term use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

For the best results, take Contour exactly as directed by your healthcare provider. It is usually taken 30 to 60 minutes before a meal, preferably before breakfast. Continue taking the medicine for the full prescribed duration, even if your symptoms improve. Do not increase the dose or stop treatment without consulting your doctor.
