Esomeprazole appears to be a selective inhibitor of the cytochrome P450 monooxygenase system, there may be an effect on hepatic clearance, but there have been no reports to date of clinically relevant interactions. There is some uncertainty over the effect of Esomeprazole on the oral combined contraceptive pill.  Further assessment is currently underway. Physiological changes similar to those found with Omeprazole are likely to take place because of the reduction in gastric acid, which is likely to influence the bacterial colonization of the stomach and duodenum and also vitamin B12 absorption.

Use In Pregnancy And Lactation
US FDA Pregnancy Category: B
Teratology studies have been performed in animals and have revealed no evidence of impaired fertility or harm to the fetus due to Esomeprazole. There are, however, no adequate and well controlled studies in pregnant women. Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, this drug should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed. Because Esomeprazole is likely to be excreted in human milk a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother.
