Esomeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that works by irreversibly inhibiting the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme in the gastric parietal cells. This action reduces the secretion of gastric acid, leading to decreased acidity in the stomach and helping to alleviate conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcers. By lowering acid production, esomeprazole promotes healing of the esophagus and reduces symptoms associated with excess stomach acid.
