PPI - esomeprazole DR

what "DR" mean?

Delayed released 



why it is needed

PPI preparations should be taken before meals in order to act when the pH of the gastrointestinal tract is the lowest.

However, since general medicines are usually taken after meals, patients feel uncomfortable. 

In addition, because of the short duration of action of general formulations, it is not possible to prevent pain from gastric acid secretion from night to dawn.
