===Efficacy===
A 2006 meta analysis concluded that compared to other proton pump inhibitors, esomeprazole confers a modest overall benefit in esophageal healing and symptom relief. When broken down by disease severity, the benefit of esomeprazole relative to other proton pump inhibitors was negligible in people with mild disease (number needed to treat 50{{clarify|date=October 2021}}), but appeared more in those with severe disease (number needed to treat 8{{clarify|date=October 2021}}).<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Gralnek IM, Dulai GS, Fennerty MB, Spiegel BM | title = Esomeprazole versus other proton pump inhibitors in erosive esophagitis: a meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials | journal = Clin.

Drugs that depend on stomach pH for absorption may interact with esomeprazole; drugs that depend on an acidic environment (such as ] or ]) will be poorly absorbed, whereas drugs that are broken down in acidic environments (such as ]) will be absorbed to a greater extent than normal.<ref name=Stedman/>

== Pharmacokinetics ==
Single 20 to 40{{nbsp}}mg oral doses generally give rise to peak plasma esomeprazole concentrations of 0.5-1.0{{nbsp}}mg/L within 1–4 hours, but after several days of once-daily administration, these levels may increase by about 50%. A 30-minute intravenous infusion of a similar dose usually produces peak plasma levels on the order of 1–3{{nbsp}}mg/L. The drug is rapidly cleared from the body, largely by urinary excretion of pharmacologically inactive metabolites such as 5-hydroxymethylesomeprazole and 5-carboxyesomeprazole. Esomeprazole and its metabolites are analytically indistinguishable from omeprazole and the corresponding omeprazole metabolites unless chiral techniques are employed.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Baselt RC |title=Disposition of toxic drugs and chemicals in man |date=2008 |publisher=Biomedical Publications |location=Foster City, Ca |isbn=978-0-9626523-7-0 |edition=8th | pages = 388–389 }}</ref>

=== Multiple-unit pellet system ===
Esomeprazole capsules, as well as Losec/Prilosec tablets, are formulated as a "multiple-unit pellet system" (MUPS). Essentially, the ] consists of extremely small enteric-coated granules (pellets) of the esomeprazole formulation inside an outer shell. When the capsule is immersed in an aqueous solution, as happens when the capsule reaches the stomach, water enters the capsule by ]. The contents swell from water absorption, causing the shell to burst, and releasing the enteric-coated granules. For most patients, the multiple-unit pellet system is of no advantage over conventional enteric-coated preparations.

Esomeprazole's successful predecessor, ], is a mixture of two ] (esomeprazole which is the S-enantiomer, and R-omeprazole); critics said the company was trying to "]" its omeprazole patent by patenting the pure esomeprazole and aggressively marketing to doctors that it is more effective than the mixture.<ref>{{cite magazine | title = High Prices: How to think about prescription drugs | vauthors = Gladwell M | author-link = Malcolm Gladwell | url = http://www.newyorker.com/archive/2004/10/25/041025crat_atlarge | magazine = ] | date = 25 October 2004 | access-date = 23 June 2006 }}</ref>
