Amazon Basic Care Esomeprazole Magnesium Delayed Release Capsules, 20 mg, Acid Reducer, Heartburn Medicine, 42 Count

Great generic product at a great price. Works wonders does what it is supposed to do.

We have ordered these online for several years on auto renew. Works great and never run out and have to suffer and run to drug drug cos life with reflux and not having them is awful.

It's hard to review products like this due to their nature. It's a tiny pill with no moving parts or features to comment on. What I can say is that it looks identical to the major name brand stuff (Nexium) and seems to provide the same benefits, but it's a lot cheaper. And if you set it up as a subscription (since you're going to be taking it daily anyway), it's even cheaper still. You get three little barely filled plastic containers with 14 pills each just like the name brand stuff (they're probably made in the same place). I've never understood why they can't just package them in a single container with 30, 60 or 90 pills each. Seems like a waste of plastic. I'm sure it has something to do with the FDA and not the manufacturer. Whenever these things arrive I open all three and pour all the pills into one container and recycle the other two. Anyway, works great as far as we can tell and it saves you a little cash.

Product works well

SOURCE :This is an FDA's approved, proton-pump inhibitor [PPI] that Amazon packages and labels. The phone number for the "Question or comments" printed on the box (see my figure A) shows that Amazon's source is L. Perrigo, a Michigan pharmaceutical company legally headquartered in Ireland for tax purposes, which owns a number of subsidiaries around the world, including Agis Industries in Israel, where this generic OTC drug is likely manufactured.INGREDIENTS :[1] The active ingredient is a magnesium salt in dihydrate form of esomeprazole, the chiral s-isomer of the older PPI omeprazole. Although these ingredients cannot be differentiated analytically (but for their chirality), their clinical effects are not identical -- a number of studies have shown that esomeprazole provides better control of intragastric pH and is more effective in treating GERD's esophagitis than omeprazole.[2] Three of the excipients listed on the box (see my figure A) are worth of comment. One is gelatin, used for the capsules, whose origin is unspecified; those with vegetarian or vegan affinities should be aware that, quite more often than not, unspecified gelatin derives from animal tissues (cattle, pork, chicken) rather than cellulose.[3] Another is titanium dioxide, whose dust is deemed a hazardous material by OSHA, and was classified as a "possible carcinogenic" in 2006 by the International Agency for Research on Cancer due to its common use in the form of nanoparticles. Furthermore, the European Food Safety Authority no longer considers titanium dioxide safe as a food additive as of June 2021.[4] The third are the artificial food colorants [AFC] blue#1 and red#3. Adults with ADHD taking this drug ought to be aware that the controversial claims of food dyes posing a hyperactivity risk are not without scientific support, at least regarding small but non-trivial harmful effects on children’s behavior. An example of that is the 2007 Southampton study of McCann and others, a UK clinical trial [reg. no. ISRCTN4481308] that led the European Parliament in 2008 to ask manufacturers to remove several dyes from foods and beverages, or to put on the label the warning "may have an adverse effect on activity and attention in children." This contrasts with the latter, 8-to-6 vote, FDA's decision against such a warning in a 2011 hearing. On April 2021, the California's Office of Environmental Health Hazards Assessment issued a peer-reviewed report concluding that AFCs are associated with adverse neurobehavioral outcomes in children. Adding food dyes to prettify small gelatin capsules for adults is a daft absurdity.RISKS :Taking this PPI at a prescription dose level (e.g., 40 mg), or when it is continued well beyond the recommended course of treatment, or both, involves a number of potential health risks, some better known than others. Worth of comment is hypomagnesemia (that is, low magnesium levels in blood), which can be significantly magnified by antihypertensive drugs, particularly thiazide or loop diuretics in combination with beta-blockers, angiotensin receptor blockers, or ACE inhibitors.PACKAGING :The three-bottle box I got is an ode to plastic waste -- each unopened bottle of about 55 cc is 3/4 empty, and putting the capsules of all the bottles into one (see my figure B) leaves it about 2/3 empty. (Meanwhile in France plastics are being phased out, Amazon...)__

Great value.

Works well everytime!

Works well for me. Like all medication, consult a doctor and understand that not everything works for everyone.
