Esomeprazole capsules are a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) used to reduce stomach acid production. They are commonly prescribed to treat conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), erosive esophagitis, and stomach ulcers. Esomeprazole works by blocking the enzyme in the stomach lining responsible for acid secretion, helping to relieve symptoms like heartburn and acid reflux while promoting healing of the esophagus. It is typically taken once daily before a meal for optimal effectiveness.

Xifaxan is an antibiotic used to treat travelers’ diarrhea caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli). It works by inhibiting bacterial RNA synthesis, effectively stopping the growth of harmful bacteria in the intestines. Unlike other antibiotics, Xifaxan is minimally absorbed into the bloodstream, which helps reduce systemic side effects. This targeted action makes it a well-tolerated option for managing mild to moderate cases of travelers’ diarrhea. However, it is not effective for diarrhea caused by other pathogens such as viruses or invasive bacteria like Campylobacter or Salmonella.

Dicyclomine is an antispasmodic medication used for the treatment of abdominal pain and spasms caused by irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

Hyoscyamine is an anticholinergic medication used to treat gastrointestinal disorders which include irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), peptic ulcers, and spasms in the stomach, intestines or bladder. Since hyoscyamine is available in a sublingual dosage form, it works quickly to alleviate symptoms. This medication reduces stomach acid production, slows the natural movements of the digestive tract by relaxing the muscles.

Promethazine is an antiemetic used to prevent and treat motion sickness. Promethazine is also used to prevent and control nausea and/or vomiting.  Promethazine is also a first-generation antihistamine, indicated for various allergic conditions, including seasonal allergies, allergic conjunctivitis, and uncomplicated skin manifestations of hives.

Lubiprostone (Amitiza®) is a medication used to treat chronic idiopathic constipation, irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C), and opioid-induced constipation. It works by increasing the secretion of fluid in the intestines, which softens stools and promotes regular bowel movements. Amitiza helps relieve symptoms such as abdominal discomfort, bloating, and straining, improving overall digestive function.
