COMPOSITION: Esobest MUPS 20 Tablet: Each MUPS tablet contains 133.333 mg (15% w/w) of Esomeprazole enteric coated pellets equivalent to 20 mg Esomeprazole (as Esomeprazole Magnesium Trihydrate USP). Esobest MUPS 40 Tablet: Each MUPS tablet contains 266.67 mg (15% w/w) of Esomeprazole enteric coated pellets equivalent to 40 mg Esomeprazole (as Esomeprazole Magnesium Trihydrate USP). MUPS MUPS is abbreviation for Multiple-Unit Pellet System. However, from pharmaceutical industry and research perspective, the term in general refers to MUPS compacted into tablets. Thus, the resulting tablets prepared by compaction of modified release coated multiparticulates or pellets are called as MUPS. It is the more recent and challenging technologies that combine the advantages of both tablets and pellet-filled capsules in one dosage form. PHARMACODYNAMIC ADVANTAGES: . MUPS ensure rapid and uniform gastric emptying and subsequently uniform drug dissolution of pellets in the gastrointestinal tract due to their small size and larger surface, uniform drug absorption is facilitated which results in consistent and controlled pharmacological action. . A further reduction in inter- and intra-subject variability in drug absorption and clinical response is facilitated since the number of pellets per MUPS dosage form is much more than a conventional pellet-filled capsule and possibility of dose dumping (in stomach) and incomplete drug release is further minimized.
