Description

Description

Esso-Ns Forte is a combination medication manufactured by Shaigan Pharmaceuticals, containing Naproxen Sodium 500mg and Esomeprazole 20mg in each capsule. This pack includes 28 capsules and is designed to provide effective relief from pain and inflammation while simultaneously protecting the stomach lining from potential irritation caused by long-term anti-inflammatory use. Naproxen Sodium works as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces pain, swelling, and stiffness, while Esomeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, helps lower stomach acid production, reducing the risk of ulcers and gastrointestinal discomfort often associated with NSAID therapy. This dual-action formula makes it a preferred choice for patients requiring ongoing pain management with added digestive protection.

Ingredients

Each capsule of Esso-Ns Forte contains Naproxen Sodium 500mg and Esomeprazole 20mg as active ingredients. The formulation also includes standard pharmaceutical excipients that ensure proper capsule structure, stability, and controlled release of the active components.

Dosage Form

Esso-Ns Forte is available as an oral capsule, combining 500mg Naproxen Sodium and 20mg Esomeprazole in a single dose. The pack contains 28 capsules, intended for use as prescribed by a healthcare provider.

Uses

Esso-Ns Forte is commonly prescribed for:

• Relief of pain and inflammation associated with arthritis and joint disorders
• Managing chronic musculoskeletal pain requiring long-term NSAID therapy
• Reducing the risk of stomach ulcers in patients who need extended anti-inflammatory treatment
• Easing symptoms of conditions such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis

This medication should only be used for conditions diagnosed and confirmed by a qualified physician.

How to Use

Esso-Ns Forte capsules should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor, typically once or twice daily, at least 30 minutes before a meal for optimal absorption. Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water; do not crush, break, or chew it, as this may affect the release mechanism of the medication. Avoid taking more than the prescribed dose, and do not use for longer than recommended without medical supervision.

Side Effects

Some patients may experience side effects while taking Esso-Ns Forte, including:

• Stomach upset or mild nausea
• Headache
• Dizziness
• Heartburn or indigestion

In rare cases, signs of gastrointestinal bleeding such as dark stools or persistent stomach pain may occur, which requires immediate medical attention.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Esso-Ns Forte is generally not recommended during pregnancy, particularly in the third trimester, as NSAIDs may affect fetal development and delivery. It is also advised to avoid this medication while breastfeeding unless specifically directed by a physician. Pregnant or nursing women should consult their doctor before use.

Storage Instructions

Store Esso-Ns Forte capsules at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Keep the medication in its original packaging, out of reach of children and pets. Do not use beyond the expiry date printed on the pack.
