CompositionPROTERA L Capsule is used to treat acid reflux and related conditions such as heartburn and ulcers. It helps reduce stomach acid production and promotes the healing of the food pipe and stomach lining, and combines pantoprazole with levosulpiride, a prokinetic medicine.
Pantoprazole blocks the acid-producing pumps in the stomach lining, cutting down acid production and allowing irritated tissue to heal, while levosulpiride speeds up stomach emptying and improves the coordinated movement of the gut, easing bloating and reflux symptoms.
Take this capsule before a meal, generally in the morning, exactly as your doctor prescribes, and continue for the duration advised for your particular condition.
Tell your doctor if you have a history of movement disorders, as levosulpiride can rarely cause unusual muscle movements. Long-term use of pantoprazole can affect magnesium and vitamin B12 levels, so tell your doctor if you notice unusual tiredness, muscle cramps or tingling.
