4.2   Posology and method of administration

Posology
The recommended dose is 20 mg esomeprazole (one capsule) per day.
It might be necessary to take the capsules for 2-3 consecutive days to achieve improvement of symptoms. The duration of treatment is up to 2 weeks. Once complete relief of symptoms has occurred, treatment should be discontinued.

If no symptom relief is obtained within 2 weeks of continuous treatment, the patient should be instructed to consult a doctor.

Special populations
Patients with renal impairment
Dose adjustment is not required in patients with impaired renal function. Due to limited experience in patients with severe renal insufficiency, such patients should be treated with caution (see section 5.2).

Patients with hepatic impairment
Dose adjustment is not required in patients with mild to moderate liver impairment. However, patients with severe liver impairment should be advised by a doctor before taking Esoprim Control (see sections 4.4 and 5.2).


Elderly patients (≥65 years old)
Dose adjustment is not required in elderly patients.
Paediatric population
There is no relevant use of Esoprim Control in the paediatric population below 18 years of age for the indication of “short-term treatment of reflux symptoms (e.g., heartburn and acid regurgitation)”.

Method of administration
The capsules should be swallowed whole with half a glass of water. The capsules must not be chewed, crushed or opened.
