Q. Is esomeprazole available over the counter?|No, esomeprazole is not available as an over-the-counter medication. It is a prescription medicine and is available only when prescribed by a physician.|Q. Can I take esomeprazole with aluminium hydroxide and magnesium carbonate or other antacids?|There is no reported interaction between esomeprazole and antacids. However, antacids increase the pH of the stomach and esomeprazole requires a lower pH for its action and hence there could be a decreased action of esomeprazole if taken with antacids. This interaction can be avoided by taking antacids two hours before or one hour after taking esomeprazole.|Q. Does esomeprazole contain lactose?|Many esomeprazole preparations contain lactose and sucrose. Lactose intolerance has been reported with its use in some patients who cannot digest lactose, a type of sugar mainly found in milk and dairy products.
