Mepreze 24Hr 20mg 7 Tablets

General Information

Mepreze (esomeprazole) provides lasting relief for customers who suffer from frequent heartburn and acid reflux symptoms. 

Mepreze is used for the relief of frequent heartburn and stomach acid complaints due to gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD).

Mepreze works by decreasing the amount of acid made by the stomach and offers the convenience of symptom relief with once-daily dosing. Mepreze will begin to work in a few hours, however it may take a couple of days for full effect.  

One Mepreze 20mg tablet should be taken each day with a glass of water unless otherwise advised by a pharmacist or doctor.  It is recommended that Mepreze is taken about the same time each day, and that the tablet is not crushed or chewed as it will not work properly.  If a tablet is forgotten, take a dose as soon as remembered and then commence the daily dose as normal. Do not take a double dose to make up for the dose that you missed.  If you are not sure what to do, ask your pharmacist or doctor.

Mepreze can be taken with food or on an empty stomach and it is recommended for adults 18 years of age and over, who suffer from frequent heartburn at least 2 times a week.

If you have any allergies or are on any other medication, please read the ??Consumer Medicine Information (available from your pharmacist) or check with your pharmacist or doctor before taking Mepreze.

Mepreze is not recommended for anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding. 

ALWAYS READ THE LABEL.  FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE. IF SYMPTOMS PERSIST, TALK TO YOUR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL.
For additional information on precautions, contraindications and adverse effects, customers should speak to the pharmacist or ask the pharmacist for the CMI.
