Product Description

Esomeprazole 40mg (Enteric-coated) & Levosulpiride 75mg Capsule is a gastrointestinal medication used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). GERD occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the esophagus (food pipe), causing symptoms such as heartburn, acidity, sour or bitter taste in the mouth, and difficulty swallowing.

This capsule contains two active ingredients:

• Esomeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that blocks the gastric proton pump enzyme responsible for producing stomach acid, thereby reducing acid secretion.

• Levosulpiride, a prokinetic agent that enhances stomach and intestinal motility and strengthens the lower esophageal sphincter, preventing the backflow of stomach contents into the esophagus.

Together, these drugs help prevent acid reflux and provide relief from acidity and heartburn.

Uses

• Treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)

• Relief from symptoms of acid reflux, such as heartburn and regurgitation

How it works

• Esomeprazole inhibits the gastric proton pump enzyme, reducing stomach acid production.

• Levosulpiride improves gastrointestinal motility and strengthens the lower esophageal sphincter, preventing acid and food reflux into the esophagus.

Together, they reduce acid reflux and relieve associated symptoms.

Benefits

• Effective relief from GERD symptoms, including heartburn and acid regurgitation

• Reduces stomach acid production and improves gastrointestinal motility
