Nexpro L Capsule 10

Nexpro L Capsule is used to treat conditions caused by excess stomach acid, such as gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcers. It is a combination medicine (likely Esomeprazole and Levosulpiride) that helps reduce acid production in the stomach, providing relief from heartburn and pain. By controlling acid levels, this capsule helps heal ulcers and protects the stomach lining from further damage.

Follow the directions given by your pharmacist or doctor for using Nexpro L capsules. In case you do not have one, you can follow the below general directions.  

• Take the capsule with one whole glass of water
• Swallow the capsule as a whole, do not crush or chew it.
• Take the capsule at fixed times each day to maintain a consistent level of medication. 

• Nexpro L capsule should be administered orally.

• Esomeprazole: Nexpro L contains esomeprazole. It is an inactive form of medicine that is converted into an active form upon entering the acidic environment of the stomach. After conversion to the active form, it inhibits a protein which is responsible for acid production. This inhibition of acid production reduces symptoms of GERD. 
• Levosulpiride: Nexpro L contains Levosulpiride, which helps improve digestion by promoting gastric motility and facilitating the movement of food through the digestive system. It exerts dual medicinal actions at two different sites: the D2 site and the 5HT-4 site, where it decreases the action of dopamine and increases the action of serotonin. These actions help control body movements and regulate digestive functions.
