It is used for the short-term treatment (up to 10 days) of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) with erosive esophagitis in adults and children 1 month of age and older. GERD is a condition where the acid in the stomach washes back up into the esophagus. Esomeprazole is also used to lower the risk of rebleeding in patients with acute gastric or duodenal ulcer after endoscopy.
