CompositionNexpro Junior Suspension is used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and other acid-related conditions in children. It helps manage excessive stomach acid production and prevent discomfort.
Consult your doctor for the appropriate dosage and frequency for your child. Inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications. If side effects occur, notify your doctor immediately. Continue the treatment as prescribed for optimal results.
Nexpro Junior Suspension is used in children above 1 year to manage gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcer disease, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, providing relief from symptoms like acid reflux and stomach pain.
Giving Nexpro Junior Suspension to your child involves the following steps:
The contents of the sachet should be mixed with water to form a suspension for consumption.
Shake well before use to ensure a homogenous mixture.
The medicine should be given at least 1 hour before meals.
For precise dosing as per your child's age, weight, and health condition, consult your doctor.
Nexpro Junior Suspension is given orally.
Nexpro Junior Suspension may cause side effects like headache, diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, and constipation. If these side effects persist or worsen, consult your doctor.
Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Nexpro Junior Suspension. However, if your child experiences any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor. Here are some tips for managing common side effects:
Diarrhoea: Try giving this medicine with food.
Abdominal pain: If your child experiences stomach ache after taking this medicine, consider giving it to them at bedtime.
Nexpro Junior Suspension contains esomeprazole (10 mg), which acts on the body as follows:
Inhibits H+/K+ ATPase enzyme system: Esomeprazole works by blocking an enzyme system known as the H+/K+ ATPase, or proton pump, in certain cells found in the stomach lining called gastric parietal cells.
Reduces stomach acid production: By inhibiting the activity of this proton pump, esomeprazole effectively reduces the production of stomach acid. This helps relieve symptoms and promotes healing of the damaged lining of the oesophagus in patients with GERD.
Nexpro Junior Suspension should be used with care in children who have severe liver problems. The metabolism of esomeprazole may be reduced in these patients, so consult your doctor before giving this medicine.
Caution is advised when giving Nexpro Junior Suspension to children who have kidney health issues. Consultation with a doctor is recommended.
If your child has known allergies to esomeprazole or any other component of Nexpro Junior Suspension, avoid giving them this medicine. Always inform the doctor about any known allergies.
While Nexpro Junior Suspension is designed for children above one year of age, ensure to consult your doctor before giving this medicine to a child under 1 year.
Nexpro Junior Suspension interacts with the following medicines:
Antiretroviral medicines: This medicine may decrease the effectiveness of medicines like atazanavir and nelfinavir, which are used to manage HIV/AIDS.
Antifungal medicines: When given with antifungals like ketoconazole and voriconazole, Nexpro Junior Suspension may increase their levels in your child's body, leading to potential side effects.
Diazepam: This medicine can increase the level of diazepam in your child's body, which could enhance its sedative effect.
Warfarin: Co-administration of Nexpro Junior Suspension and warfarin may increase the risk of bleeding as it can enhance the anticoagulant effect of warfarin.
Nexpro Junior Suspension interacts with the following diseases:
Liver disease: In children with severe liver impairment, the metabolism of esomeprazole might be reduced, potentially increasing its levels in the body.
Hypersensitivity: Children known to have allergic reactions to any component of this medicine or other proton pump inhibitors should not be given this medicine.
Your child's daily dose of Nexpro Junior Suspension should be given exactly as prescribed by the doctor. The dosage may vary based on individual factors such as the severity of the condition and your child's response to the medicine. It's important to stick to the prescribed dosage and not exceed it without consulting your doctor. For further details, please read the package insert.
In case your child has been given more Nexpro Junior Suspension than prescribed, they may experience common side effects like headache, diarrhoea, and abdominal pain in a more pronounced manner. If these symptoms persist or worsen, inform your doctor.
If you forgot to give your child their regular dose of Nexpro Junior Suspension, give it as soon as you remember. If it's nearly time for the next dose, skip the missed one now and continue with your child's regular dosage schedule. Never increase the dosage without consulting your doctor.
Store Nexpro Junior Suspension at room temperature, ideally below 30°C.
Keep it in a dry place, protected from light and moisture.
Ensure the product is used within 30 minutes of preparing the suspension.
Keep Nexpro Junior Suspension out of reach of children.
Always check the expiry date before giving this medicine to your child.
Provide your child with a balanced diet, especially rich in fibre. This can help manage gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) by promoting healthy digestion and preventing constipation, which can exacerbate GERD symptoms.
Avoid giving your child foods that can trigger acid reflux or heartburn, such as spicy or fatty foods, chocolate, citrus fruits, and caffeine. These can provoke excessive stomach acid production and worsen GERD symptoms.
