Adults
As an alternative to oral therapy when it is not possible
If oral therapy can not be administered to patients, the drug may be recommended Esomeprazole-native parenterally in a dose of 20-40 mg once a day.
1. When gastroesophageal reflux disease in patients with esophagitis is recommended esomeprazole in a dose of 40 mg once a day. For the treatment of GERD symptoms esomeprazole is used in a dose of 20 mg once a day.
2. For the healing of peptic ulcers associated with the administration of NSAIDs in patients at risk, it is recommended that esomeprazole in a dose of 20 mg once a day.
3. For the prevention of peptic ulcers associated with the administration of NSAIDs, it is recommended that esomeprazole in a dose of 20 mg once a day.
Typically, the period of treatment with intravenous form is short, the patient should be transferred to oral esomeprazole as soon as possible.
To prevent the recurrence of bleeding from the peptic ulcer after endoscopic hemostasis
After endoscopic hemostasis is recommended esomeprazole in a dose of 80 mg in the form of an intravenous infusion for 30 minutes followed by a prolonged intravenous infusion of esomeprazole at a dose of 8 mg / h for 3 days (72 hours).After the completion of parenteral therapy to suppress the secretion of hydrochloric acid, antisecretory therapy is recommended (for example, esomeprazole 40 mg once a day for 4 weeks).

Patients with impaired renal function
Correction of the dose of esomeprazole in patients with impaired renal function is not required. Due to the limited experience with esomeprazole in patients with severe renal insufficiency, caution should be exercised in the treatment of such patients (see section "Pharmacokinetics").
Patients with hepatic impairment
GERD: correction of the dose of esomeprazole in patients with impaired liver function of mild and moderate severity is not required.In patients with impaired hepatic function, the maximum daily dose is 20 mg (see the section "Pharmacokinetics").
Bleeding from the peptic ulcer: dose adjustment of esomeprazole in patients with impaired liver function of mild to moderate severity is not required.
In patients with impaired hepatic function, the following regimen for the administration of esomeprazole is recommended: 80 mg in the form of an intravenous infusion for 30 minutes followed by an extended intravenous infusion at a maximum dose of 4 mg / h for 71.5 hours (see Pharmacokinetics section) .
Older and older patients
Correction of the dose of esomeprazole in patients of the elderly and older is not required.
Preparation of the solution
The degradation of the prepared solution mainly depends on the pH value, and therefore only 0.9% sodium chloride solution for intravenous administration should be used to dissolve the drug.
The prepared solution should not be mixed or administered together with other drugs.
Before use, the solution should be assessed visually for no visible mechanical impurities and discoloration.Only a clear solution can be used. The prepared solution is recommended to enter immediately after preparation (from the microbiological point of view).
The prepared solution should be used within 12 hours. Store at a temperature not exceeding 30 ° C.
Unused residue should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
Injection 40 mg
Solution for injection (8 mg / ml) is prepared by adding 5 ml of 0.9% sodium solution chloride for intravenous administration into a vial of 40 mg esomeprazole. Diluted a solution of esomeprazole is a clear liquid from colorless to pale yellow.
Infusion 40 mg
The infusion solution is prepared by dissolving the contents of one vial with 40 mg of esomeprazole in 100 ml of a 0.9% solution of sodium chloride for intravenous administration.
Infusion 80 mg
Infusion solution is prepared by dissolving the contents of two flasks with esomeprazole 40 mg in 100 ml of 0.9% sodium chloride solution for intravenous administration. The diluted esomeprazole solution is a clear liquid from colorless to pale yellow.
