How To Use
Take each dose with a full glass (8 ounces) of water. ? Esomeprazole
should be taken at least one hour before a meal. Follow your doctor's
instructions. ? Do not break or chew the capsules. Swallow them
whole. They are specially formulated to release slowly in the body.
? If you have difficulty swallowing the capsules, one tablespoon
of applesauce can be added to an empty bowl and the esomeprazole
capsule can be opened, and the pellets inside the capsule carefully
emptied onto the applesauce. The pellets should be mixed with the
applesauce and then swallowed immediately. The applesauce should
not be hot and should be soft enough to be swallowed without chewing.
The pellets should not be chewed or crushed. The pellet / applesauce
mixture should not be stored for later use. ? Do not stop taking
esomeprazole even if you begin to feel better. Your symptoms may
improve before the condition is fully treated. ? Store esomeprazole
