Opton
1. What Opton® is and what it is used for?
Esomeprazole is the S-isomer of Omeprazole. It reduces gastric acid secretion through a specific targeted mechanism of action. It is a specific inhibitor of the acid pump in the parietal cell.

2. Before you take Opton®
Patients with known hypersensitivity to any component of the formulation.

Taking other medicines
Esomeprazole inhibits gastric acid secretion. Therefore, Esomeprazole may interfere with the absorption of drugs where gastric pH is an important determinant of bioavailability (eg, Ketoconazole, Iron salts and Digoxin).

Pregnancy and breast-feeding
If you are pregnant, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine. Your doctor will decide whether you can take Opton® during this time. It is not known if Opton® passes into breast milk. Therefore, you should not take Opton® if you are breastfeeding.
