Emazole Control 20 Mg Gastro-resistant Tablets (28) | Long-Lasting Relief from Acid Reflux

Emazole Control 20 mg gastro-resistant tablets are made to deal with reflux in adults that occurs on a regular basis. Each tablet contains 20 mg of esomeprazole magnesium, a Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI), which works by decreasing the amount of acid your stomach produces. Emazole is for short-term treatment only. If symptoms persist after using it for a while, consult your doctor.

This product is indicated for targeted relief and inhibits acid from causing pain in your stomach and oesophagus. Used regularly (1 per day; 3 days max.), you may notice symptom relief, including burning pain in your chest and acid reflux symptoms (sour taste in the mouth and/or upset stomach). Emazole is enteric-coated, so the tablet is not broken down by your stomach, ensuring it works where it’s supposed to.
