Esomeprazole EC Pellets
Enteric-coated esomeprazole pellets with tight moisture control to maintain proton pump inhibition for GERD and erosive esophagitis regimens.
Product overview
Esomeprazole magnesium trihydrate, the S-enantiomer of omeprazole, is a highly effective proton pump inhibitor that reduces gastric acid secretion by selectively blocking the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme system. Our EC pellets are formulated with a specialized sealing coat to protect the core API, followed by enteric polymers that dissolve at intestinal pH—guaranteeing precise drug release beyond the stomach and consistent bioavailability across dosage strengths.
Key characteristics
- Superior Enteric Protection: Dual-layer coating safeguards the API from acidic environments, enabling targeted release in the intestine.
- Precise Pellet Engineering: Controlled particle size and optimized sphericity ensure smooth flow, low dust, and uniform capsule fill weights.
- Consistent Assay Performance: In-process controls monitor assay uniformity, moisture content, and coating thickness for every batch.
- Ready for Scale-Up: Optimized for capsules, sachets, or multiparticulate tablets with stable flow and compressibility.
- Regulatory Data Support: Comparative dissolution studies, impurity profiling, and packaging validation included in documentation.
- Market Compliance: Manufactured under cGMP, ISO, and ICH guidelines, with full nitrosamine risk assessments and photostability data.

How it works
Esomeprazole belongs to the class of proton pump inhibitors that reduce gastric acid secretion by targeting the final step in acid production. Its enteric-coated pellet form prevents degradation in the stomach, enabling efficient release in the small intestine for rapid symptom control and improved patient comfort. Rraynex’s EC technology enhances stability, dissolution precision, and regulatory readiness across formulations.
Usage note
For pharmaceutical manufacturing and educational purposes only. Esomeprazole-containing products should be developed and used under qualified medical supervision. Manufacturers are responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable pharmacopeial and regulatory standards prior to commercial release.
