symptoms associated with gerd in pediatric patients 12 years to 17 years of age. esomeprazole magnesium delayed-release capsules are indicated for the reduction in the occurrence of gastric ulcers associated with continuous nsaid therapy in adult patients at risk for developing gastric ulcers. patients are considered to be at risk due to their age (60 years and older) and/or documented history of gastric ulcers. controlled studies do not extend beyond 6 months. eradication of h.pylori has been shown to reduce the risk of duodenal ulcer recurrence. triple therapy  esomeprazole magnesium delayed-release capsules, in combination with amoxicillin and clarithromycin, are indicated for the treatment of adult patients with h. pylori infection and duodenal ulcer disease (active or history of within the past 5 years) to eradicate h. pylori . in patients who fail therapy, susceptibility testing should be done. if resistance to clarithromycin is demonstrated or susceptibility testing is not possible, alternative antimicrobial therapy should be instituted [ see clinical pharmacology (12.4) and the prescribing information for clarithromyci n].  esomeprazole magnesium delayed-release capsules are indicated for the long-term treatment of pathological hypersecretory conditions, including zollinger-ellison syndrome, in adults. - esomeprazole magnesium is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to substituted benzimidazoles or to any component of the formulation. hypersensitivity reactions may include anaphylaxis, anaphylactic shock, angioedema, bronchospasm, acute tubulointerstitial nephritis, and urticaria [see warnings and precautions ( 5.2), adverse reactions ( 6.2)]. - for information about contraindications of amoxicillin and clarithromycin, indicated in combination with esomeprazole magnesium for h. pylori eradication to reduce the risk of duodenal ulcer recurrence, refer to the contraindications section of the respective prescribing information.  - proton pump inhibitors (ppis), including esomeprazole, are contraindicated in patients receiving rilpivirine containing products [see drug interactions ( 7)] risk summary there are no adequate and well-controlled studies with esomeprazole in pregnant women. esomeprazole is the s-isomer of omeprazole. available epidemiologic data fail to demonstrate an increased risk of major congenital malformations or other adverse pregnancy outcomes with first trimester omeprazole use (see data). reproduction studies in rats and rabbits resulted in dose-dependent embryo-lethality at omeprazole doses that were approximately 3.4 to 34 times an oral human dose of 40 mg (based on a body surface area for a 60 kg person). teratogenicity was not observed in animal reproduction studies with administration of oral esomeprazole magnesium in rats and rabbits with doses about 68 times and 42 times, respectively, an oral human dose of 40 mg (based on a body surface area basis for a 60 kg person). changes in bone morphology were observed in offspring of rats dosed through most of pregnancy and lactation at doses equal to or greater than approximately 34 times an oral human dose of 40 mg. when maternal administration was confined to gestation only, there were no effects on bone physeal morphology in the offspring at any age (see data).  the estimated background risks of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population are unknown. all pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss or other adverse outcomes. in the u.s. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2% to 4% and 15% to 20%, respectively. data human data esomeprazole is the s-isomer of omeprazole. four epidemiological studies compared the frequency of congenital abnormalities among infants born to women who used omeprazole during pregnancy with the frequency of abnormalities among infants of women exposed to h 2 receptor antagonists or other controls. a population-based retrospective cohort epidemiological study from the swedish medical birth registry, covering approximately 99% of pregnancies, from 1995 to 1999, reported on 955 infants (824 exposed during the first trimester with 39 of these exposed beyond first trimester, and 131 exposed after the first trimester) whose mothers used omeprazole during pregnancy. the number of infants exposed in utero to omeprazole that had any malformation, low birth weight, low apgar score, or hospitalization was similar to the number observed in this population. the number of infants born with ventricular septal defects and the number of stillborn infants was slightly higher in the omeprazole-exposed infants than the expected number in this population. a population-based retrospective cohort study covering all live births in denmark from 1996 to 2009, reported on 1,800 live births whose mothers used omeprazole during the first trimester of pregnancy and 837, 317 live births whose mothers did not use any proton pump inhibitor. the overall rate of birth defects in infants born to mothers with first trimester exposure to omeprazole was 2.9% and 2.6% in infants born to mothers not exposed to any proton pump inhibitor during the first trimester. a retrospective cohort study reported on 689 pregnant women exposed to either h 2 blockers or omeprazole in the first trimester (134 exposed to omeprazole) and 1,572 pregnant women unexposed to either during the first trimester. the overall malformation rate in offspring born to mothers with first trimester exposure to omeprazole, an h 2 -blocker, or were unexposed was 3.6%, 5.5%, and 4.1% respectively. a small prospective observational cohort study followed 113 women exposed to omeprazole during pregnancy (89% with first trimester exposures). the reported rate of major congenital malformations was 4% in the omeprazole group, 2% in controls exposed to non-teratogens, and 2.8% in disease paired controls. rates of spontaneous and elective abortions, preterm deliveries, gestational age at delivery, and mean birth weight were similar among the groups. several studies have reported no apparent adverse short-term effects on the infant when single dose oral or intravenous omeprazole was administered to over 200 pregnant women as premedication for cesarean section under general anesthesia. animal data omeprazole reproductive studies conducted with omeprazole in rats at oral doses up to 138 mg/kg/day (about 34 times an oral human dose of 40 mg on a body surface area basis) and in rabbits at doses up to 69.1 mg/kg/day (about 34 times an oral human dose of 40 mg on a body surface area basis) during organogenesis did not disclose any evidence for a teratogenic potential of omeprazole. in rabbits, omeprazole in a dose range of 6.9 to 69.1 mg/kg/day (about 3.4 to 34 times an oral human dose of 40 mg on a body surface area basis) administered during organogenesis produced dose-related increases in embryo-lethality, fetal resorptions, and pregnancy disruptions. in rats, dose-related embryo/fetal toxicity and postnatal developmental toxicity were observed in offspring resulting from parents treated with omeprazole at 13.8 to 138 mg/kg/day (about 3.4 to 34 times an oral human dose of 40 mg on a body surface area basis), administered prior to mating through the lactation period. esomeprazole no effects on embryo-fetal development were observed in reproduction studies with esomeprazole magnesium in rats at oral doses up to 280 mg/kg/day (about 68 times an oral human dose of 40 mg on a body surface area basis) or in rabbits at oral doses up to 86 mg/kg/day (about 41 times an oral human dose of 40 mg on a body surface area basis) administered during organogenesis. a pre-and postnatal developmental toxicity study in rats with additional endpoints to evaluate bone development was performed with esomeprazole magnesium at oral doses of 14 to 280 mg/kg/day (about 3.4 to 68 times an oral human dose of 40 mg on a body surface area basis). neonatal/early postnatal (birth to weaning) survival was decreased at doses equal to or greater than 138 mg/kg/day (about 34 times an oral human dose of 40 mg on a body surface area basis). body weight and body weight gain were reduced and neurobehavioral or general developmental delays in the immediate post-weaning timeframe were evident at doses equal to or greater than 69 mg/kg/day (about 17 times an oral human dose of 40 mg on a body surface area basis). in addition, decreased femur length, width and thickness of cortical bone, decreased thickness of the tibial growth plate and minimal to mild bone marrow hypocellularity were noted at doses equal to or greater than 14 mg/kg/day (about 3.4 times an oral human dose of 40 mg on a body surface area basis). physeal dysplasia in the femur was observed in offspring of rats treated with oral doses of esomeprazole magnesium at doses equal to or greater than 138 mg/kg/day (about 34 times an oral human dose of 40 mg on a body surface area basis). effects on maternal bone were observed in pregnant and lactating rats in a pre-and postnatal toxicity study when esomeprazole magnesium was administered at oral doses of 14 to 280 mg/kg/day (about 3.4 to 68 times an oral human dose of 40 mg on a body surface area basis). when rats were dosed from gestational day 7 through weaning on postnatal day 21, a statistically significant decrease in maternal femur weight of up to 14% (as compared to placebo treatment) was observed at doses equal to or greater than 138 mg/kg/day (about 34 times an oral human dose of 40 mg on a body surface area basis). a pre-and postnatal development study in rats with esomeprazole strontium (using equimolar doses compared to esomeprazole magnesium study) produced similar results in dams and pups as described above. a follow up developmental toxicity study in rats with further time points to evaluate pup bone development from postnatal day 2 to adulthood was performed with esomeprazole magnesium at oral doses of 280 mg/kg/day (about 68 times an oral human dose of 40 mg on a body surface area basis) where esomeprazole administration was from either gestational day 7 or gestational day 16 until parturition. when maternal administration was confined to gestation only, there were no effects on bone physeal morphology in the offspring at any age. risk summary esomeprazole is the s-isomer of omeprazole and limited data suggest that omeprazole may be present in human milk. there are no clinical data on the effects of esomeprazole on the breastfed infant or on milk production. the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for esomeprazole magnesium and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from esomeprazole magnesium or from the underlying maternal condition. healing of ee pediatric patients 1 year to 17 years of age the safety and effectiveness of esomeprazole magnesium delayed-release capsules have been established in pediatric patients 12 years to 17 years for short-term treatment (4 to 8 weeks) for healing of ee. use of esomeprazole magnesium for this indication is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies in adults with additional safety and pharmacokinetic data in pediatric patients 1 year to 17 years of age. the safety profile in pediatric patients 1 year to 17 years of age was similar to adults [see adverse reactions ( 6.1), clinical pharmacology ( 12.3), clinical studies ( 14.4)]. symptomatic gerd pediatric patients 1 year to 17 years of age the safety and effectiveness of esomeprazole magnesium delayed-release capsules have been established in pediatric patients 12 years to 17 years of age for the short-term treatment (4 weeks) of heartburn and other symptoms associated with gerd. use of esomeprazole magnesium for this indication is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies in adults with additional safety and pharmacokinetic data in pediatric patients 1 year to 17 years of age. the safety profile in pediatric patients 1 year to 17 years of age was similar to adults [see adverse reactions ( 6.1), clinical pharmacology ( 12.3), clinical studies ( 14.4)]. the safety and effectiveness of esomeprazole magnesium for the treatment of symptomatic gerd in pediatric patients less than 1 year of age have not been established. other conditions the safety and effectiveness of esomeprazole magnesium delayed-release capsules for the risk reduction of nsaid-associated gastric ulcer, h. pylori eradication to reduce the risk of duodenal ulcer recurrence and treatment of pathological hypersecretory conditions have not been established in pediatric patients. juvenile animal toxicity studies in a juvenile rat toxicity study, esomeprazole was administered with both magnesium and strontium salts at oral doses about 34 to 68 times a daily human dose of 40 mg based on body surface area. increases in death were seen at the high dose, and at all doses of esomeprazole, there were decreases in body weight, body weight gain, femur weight and femur length, and decreases in overall growth [see nonclinical toxicology ( 13.2)]. of the total number of patients who received esomeprazole magnesium in clinical trials, 1,459 were 65 to 74 years of age and 354 patients were 75 years of age and older. no overall differences in safety and efficacy were observed between the elderly and younger individuals, and other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between elderly and younger patients, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out. in patients with severe hepatic impairment (child-pugh class c) exposure to esomeprazole substantially increased compared to healthy subjects. dosage modification of esomeprazole magnesium delayed-release capsules are recommended for patients with severe hepatic impairment for the healing of ee, risk reduction of nsaid-associated gastric ulcer, h. pylori eradication to reduce the risk of duodenal ulcer recurrence, and pathological hypersecretory conditions including zollinger-ellison syndrome [see dosage and administration ( 2.1), clinical pharmacology ( 12.3)]. in patients with mild to moderate liver impairment (child-pugh classes a and b), no dosage adjustment is necessary.

or greater than 138 mg/kg/day (about 34 times an oral human dose of 40 mg on a body surface area basis). a pre- and postnatal development study in rats with esomeprazole strontium (using equimolar doses compared to esomeprazole magnesium study) produced similar results in dams and pups as described above. a follow up developmental toxicity study in rats with further time points to evaluate pup bone development from postnatal day 2 to adulthood was performed with esomeprazole magnesium at oral doses of 280 mg/kg/day (about 68 times an oral human dose of 40 mg on a body surface area basis) where esomeprazole administration was from either gestational day 7 or gestational day 16 until parturition. when maternal administration was confined to gestation only, there were no effects on bone physeal morphology in the offspring at any age. risk summary esomeprazole is the s-isomer of omeprazole and limited data suggest that omeprazole may be present in human milk. there are no clinical data on the effects of esomeprazole on the breastfed infant or on milk production. the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for esomeprazole magnesium delayed-release capsules and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from esomeprazole magnesium delayed-release capsules or from the underlying maternal condition. healing of ee pediatric patients 1 year to 17 years of age the safety and effectiveness of esomeprazole magnesium delayed-release capsules and esomeprazole magnesium for delayed-release oral suspension have been established in pediatric patients 12 years to 17 years for short-term treatment (4 to 8 weeks) for healing of ee. the safety and effectiveness of esomeprazole magnesium for delayed-release oral suspension have been established in pediatric patients 1 year to 11 years for short-term treatment (up to 8 weeks) for healing of ee. use of esomeprazole magnesium for this indication is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies in adults with additional safety and pharmacokinetic data in pediatric patients 1 year to 17 years of age. the safety profile in pediatric patients 1 year to 17 years of age was similar to adults [see adverse reactions (6.1), clinical pharmacology (12.3), clinical studies (14.4)] . pediatric patients 1 month to less than 1 year of age the safety and effectiveness of esomeprazole magnesium for delayed-release oral suspension have been established in pediatric patients 1 month to less than 1 year of age for short-term treatment (up to 6 weeks) of ee due to acid-mediated gerd. use of esomeprazole magnesium for this indication is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies in adults with additional safety, pharmacokinetic, and pharmacodynamic data in pediatric patients 1 month to less than 1 year of age. the safety profile in pediatric patients 1 month to less than 1 year of age was similar to adults [see adverse reactions (6.1), clinical pharmacology (12.2, 12.3)] . the safety and effectiveness of esomeprazole magnesium for the treatment of ee due to acid-mediated gerd in pediatric patients less than 1 month of age have not been established. symptomatic gerd pediatric patients 1 year to 17 years of age the safety and effectiveness of esomeprazole magnesium delayed-release capsules and esomeprazole magnesium for delayed-release oral suspension have been established in pediatric patients 12 years to 17 years of age for the short-term treatment (4 weeks) of heartburn and other symptoms associated with gerd. the safety and effectiveness of esomeprazole magnesium for delayed-release oral suspension have been established in pediatric patients 1 year to 11 years of age for the short-term treatment (up to 8 weeks) of heartburn and other symptoms associated with gerd. use of esomeprazole magnesium for this indication is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies in adults with additional safety and pharmacokinetic data in pediatric patients 1 year to 17 years of age. the safety profile in pediatric patients 1 year to 17 years of age was similar to adults [see adverse reactions (6.1), clinical pharmacology (12.3), clinical studies (14.4)] . the safety and effectiveness of esomeprazole magnesium delayed-release capsules for the treatment of symptomatic gerd in pediatric patients less than 1 year of age have not been established. infants 1 month to less than 1 year of age esomeprazole magnesium was not found to be effective in a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, controlled, treatment-withdrawal study of 98 infants aged 1 month to 11 months for the treatment of symptomatic gerd. patients were enrolled if they had either a clinical diagnosis of suspected gerd, symptomatic gerd, or endoscopically proven gerd. twenty of 98 enrolled patients underwent endoscopy, and 6 patients were found to have ee on endoscopy at baseline. all patients received esomeprazole magnesium for delayed-release oral suspension once daily during a two-week, open-label phase of the study. there were 80 patients who attained a pre-specified level of symptom improvement and who entered the double-blind phase, in which they were randomized in equal proportions to receive esomeprazole magnesium or placebo for the next four weeks. efficacy was assessed by observing the time from randomization to study discontinuation due to symptom worsening during the four-week, treatment-withdrawal phase. there was no statistically significant difference between esomeprazole magnesium and placebo in the rate of discontinuation due to symptom worsening; therefore, these results do not support the use of esomeprazole magnesium for the treatment of symptomatic gerd in infants 1 month to less than 1 year of age. other conditions the safety and effectiveness of esomeprazole magnesium delayed-release capsules for the risk reduction of nsaid-associated gastric ulcer, h. pylori eradication to reduce the risk of duodenal ulcer recurrence and treatment of pathological hypersecretory conditions have not been established in pediatric patients. juvenile animal toxicity studies in a juvenile rat toxicity study, esomeprazole was administered with both magnesium and strontium salts at oral doses about 34 to 68 times a daily human dose of 40 mg based on body surface area. increases in death were seen at the high dose, and at all doses of esomeprazole, there were decreases in body weight, body weight gain, femur weight and femur length, and decreases in overall growth [see nonclinical toxicology (13.2)] . of the total number of patients who received esomeprazole magnesium delayed-release capsules in clinical trials, 1459 were 65 to 74 years of age and 354 patients were 75 years of age and older. no overall differences in safety and efficacy were observed between the elderly and younger individuals, and other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses between elderly and younger patients, but greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out. in patients with severe hepatic impairment (child-pugh class c) exposure to esomeprazole substantially increased compared to healthy subjects. dosage modification of esomeprazole magnesium delayed-release capsules is recommended for patients with severe hepatic impairment for the healing of ee, risk reduction of nsaid-associated gastric ulcer, h. pylori eradication to reduce the risk of duodenal ulcer recurrence, and pathological hypersecretory conditions including zollinger-ellison syndrome [see dosage and administration (2.1), clinical pharmacology (12.3)] . in patients with mild to moderate liver impairment (child-pugh classes a and b), no dosage adjustment is necessary. esomeprazole (es oh me pray zol) magnesium (mag nee zee uhm) for delayed-release oral suspension taking esomeprazole magnesium
