CompositionEsomac L 40mg Capsule 10 is used to reduce stomach acid and treat conditions like acid reflux, heartburn, and gastric ulcers. This combination of a Proton Pump Inhibitor and a prokinetic agent works by lowering acid production and improving gut motility. It protects the stomach lining and alleviates symptoms like difficulty swallowing caused by the backflow of acid.
Esomac L 40mg Capsule 10 is used for the comprehensive treatment of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). This includes relieving symptoms such as heartburn, acid reflux, and general stomach irritation. It is also effective in treating related conditions like dyspepsia (indigestion) and peptic ulcers by reducing stomach acid production and improving gut motility.
Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water.
Do not chew or crush the capsule.
It's best to take this medicine at least one hour before a meal, preferably in the morning or as prescribed by the doctor.
For specific advice on how to use this medicine, consult your doctor.
Esomac L 40mg Capsule 10 is taken orally.
Esomac L 40mg Capsule 10 may cause side effects like headache, diarrhoea, nausea, abdominal pain, constipation, dry mouth, dizziness and gas. If these side effects become severe or persistent, consult your doctor.
Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Esomac L 40mg Capsule 10. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.
Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:
Diarrhoea: Try taking this capsule with food to possibly reduce this effect.
Abdominal pain: If you experience stomach pain after taking the capsule, you may want to take it after your meal.
Esomac L 40mg Capsule 10 contains two active ingredients:
Esomeprazole (40 mg): This ingredient works by irreversibly blocking an enzyme system called the proton pump in the stomach's parietal cells that is responsible for acid production. By inhibiting this enzyme, esomeprazole effectively suppresses both basal and stimulated gastric acid secretion.
Levosulpiride (75 mg): Levosulpiride is a selective dopamine D2 receptor antagonist with prokinetic properties. It increases acetylcholine release, stimulating stomach and intestinal movement. Furthermore, it heightens lower oesophageal sphincter pressure to prevent reflux of stomach contents into the oesophagus.
Together, these two ingredients provide effective relief from GERD symptoms by both reducing stomach acid production and enhancing gastrointestinal motility.
Caution is advised while taking Esomac L 40mg Capsule 10 if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.
Caution is advised while taking Esomac L 40mg Capsule 10 during breastfeeding. Always consult your doctor before using this medicine if you are breastfeeding.

Antiplatelet agents: The effectiveness of clopidogrel may be reduced when taken with esomeprazole.
Cancer medications: Esomeprazole may increase methotrexate levels, potentially leading to toxicity.
Central Nervous System (CNS) Depressants: Levosulpiride can enhance the sedative effect of CNS depressants such as benzodiazepines and opioids.

High-fat meals: These can delay the absorption of levosulpiride, thus reducing its effect.
