CompositionVolapride Plus Capsule is used to treat acid reflux and related conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), heartburn and non-ulcer dyspepsia, particularly when a proton pump inhibitor alone does not give enough relief. It helps reduce stomach acid production and supports movement of food through the stomach, easing discomfort in the upper abdomen.
It combines a proton pump inhibitor that lowers acid production with a prokinetic medicine that helps the stomach empty more effectively. The capsule should be swallowed whole with water, taken as prescribed. Continue taking it for the full duration advised by your doctor, even if your symptoms improve early, to allow the digestive lining to heal fully.
Eating smaller, more frequent meals, avoiding spicy, fatty or acidic foods, and not lying down soon after eating can help reduce reflux symptoms. Limiting tea, coffee, alcohol and smoking may also ease symptoms alongside this medicine.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have any liver or kidney problems, bowel obstruction, or are taking other medicines. Inform your doctor if you notice unusual movements, drowsiness, or persistent diarrhoea. It is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding without medical advice.
