A member asked:
Is it better to take esomeprazole 20mg am and pm (twice a day) or just take 40mg all at once in the morning?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
With a total dose of 40 mg, it does not matter if you take 20 mg, twice a day or 40 mg at one time. For convenience, just take 40 mg, daily. However, with a total dose of 80 mg which is sometimes prescribed, take 40 mg, twice a day.
