The active substance in Mesorpal is esomeprazole, which belongs to the group of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). PPIs inhibit the secretion of hydrochloric acid by the parietal cells of the stomach, which leads to an increase in the pH in the stomach. This mechanism affects the absorption of non-heme iron. Studies have shown that PPIs have an effect on iron absorption mainly in people who have been deficient before using the drug. However, long-term use of PPIs in all groups of patients can cause iron malabsorption.
