Hi,
Esogard is a brand name for the medication
Esomeprazole, which is a
proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) used to treat
gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a condition where stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing symptoms like heartburn,
acid reflux, and
indigestion. Esomeprazole helps reduce the production of stomach acid, thus relieving the symptoms.
In your case, Esogard has likely been prescribed to help relieve the burning sensation in your tongue, which may be caused by acid reflux. Regarding the side effects of Esogard, like any medication, it can cause side effects. Common side effects of Esomeprazole include headache, diarrhea, nausea, stomach pain, and gas. However, not everyone experiences side effects, and if they do, they are usually mild and go away on their own.
Bacelac Forte contains probiotics and is used to maintain the balance of good bacteria in the gut. It is generally safe to use and has very few side effects. CCM is a
calcium supplement that is used to treat or prevent
calcium deficiency. It is also generally safe to use and has very few side effects.
In conclusion, Esogard is likely prescribed to help relieve the burning sensation in your tongue, which may be due to acid reflux. Like any medication, it can cause side effects, but these are usually mild and go away on their own. Bacelac Forte and CCM are generally safe to use and have few side effects.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
