2. Esomeprazole - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esomeprazole

   Esomeprazole's successful predecessor, omeprazole, is a mixture of two mirror-imaged molecules (esomeprazole which is the S-enantiomer, and R-omeprazole); critics said the company was trying to "evergreen" its omeprazole patent by patenting the pure esomeprazole and aggressively marketing to doctors that it is more effective than the mixture.

3. Discovery and development of proton pump inhibitors - Wikipedia

   It is available as delayed-release capsules or tablets and as esomeprazole sodium for intravenous injection/infusion. Oral esomeprazole preparations are enteric-coated, due to the rapid degradation of the drug in the acidic condition of the stomach. This is achieved by formulating capsules using the multiple-unit pellet system.

4. Proton-pump inhibitor - Wikipedia

   [55] [57] An interaction between PPIs and the metabolism of the platelet inhibitor clopidogrel is known and this drug is also often used in people with cardiac disease. [58] [59] [22] There are associations with an increased risk of stroke, but this appears to be more likely to occur in people who already have an elevated risk. [60]

5. Naproxen/esomeprazole - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naproxen/esomeprazole

   Naproxen/esomeprazole, sold under the brand name Vimovo, is a pain reliever medication in the form of a tablet for oral consumption, containing naproxen, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), and a delayed release formulation of esomeprazole, a stomach acid–reducing proton-pump inhibitor (PPI). [2] [3] It is produced by AstraZeneca. [4]

   In Australia, packets of 275 mg tablets of naproxen sodium are Schedule 2 pharmacy medicines, with a maximum daily dose of five tablets or 1375 mg. In the United Kingdom, 250 mg tablets of naproxen were approved for OTC sale under the brand name Feminax Ultra in 2008, for the treatment of primary dysmenorrhoea in women aged 15 to 50. [ 45 ]

7. Omeprazole - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omeprazole

   AstraZeneca also developed esomeprazole (Nexium) which is a eutomer, purely the (S)-enantiomer, rather than a racemate like omeprazole. [medical citation needed] Omeprazole undergoes a chiral shift in vivo which converts the inactive (R)-enantiomer to the active (S)-enantiomer, doubling the concentration of the active form. [59]
