Before starting this medicine, it's important you inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications you are taking.

Esomer L Capsule is used for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (acid reflux). It helps manage conditions like Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), reduces symptoms of acid-related dyspepsia, eases chronic gastritis, heals reflux esophagitis, and regulates Zollinger-Ellison syndrome.

Directions for Use of Esomer L Capsule 10

Here's how to take Esomer L Capsule correctly:

Follow the dosage and timing instructions provided by your doctor precisely.
Do not change or exceed the prescribed dose without consulting your doctor.
Consult your doctor before discontinuing the medication; do not stop taking it without their guidance.
Adhere to the dietary recommendations given by your doctor.

Esomer L Capsule is taken orally.

Esomer L Capsule may have the following common side effects:

Headache
Diarrhoea
Nausea
Abdominal pain
Flatulence
Constipation
Dizziness

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, and they resolve when you discontinue using Esomer L Capsule. 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: Drink plenty of healthy fluids to stay hydrated and follow the diet recommended by your doctor.
Abdominal pain: If you experience stomach pain, avoid consuming heavy meals and junk food for a few days.

Esomer L Capsule contains two active ingredients:

Esomeprazole (40 mg): This component blocks the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme (also known as the proton pump) in the stomach cells that produce acid. Blocking this enzyme leads to a significant reduction in gastric acid secretion. With less acid in your stomach, the environment becomes more favourable for healing gastric and oesophageal lesions and relieving symptoms of reflux.
Levosulpiride (75 mg): This ingredient works by blocking certain dopamine receptors in your gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Doing so increases the release of a substance called acetylcholine, which enhances movement within your GI tract. This improvement in movement helps alleviate symptoms of dyspepsia and prevents gastroesophageal reflux.

Pregnancy

Esomer L Capsule should be used with caution during pregnancy. It is recommended to consult your doctor before taking this medicine if you are pregnant or planning to conceive.

Breastfeeding

It is advised to consult your doctor before using Esomer L Capsule while breastfeeding.

Alcohol
