Medicinal Benefits:

Nexpro IT Capsule is a combination medicine used to treat acidity, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), stomach ulcer and heartburn.
Nexpro IT Capsule is a combination of two drugs: Esomeprazole and Itopride.
Esomeprazole belongs to a group of medicines called proton pump inhibitors, which work by blocking the action of an enzyme called the gastric proton pump, responsible for the production of stomach acid.
Itopride belongs to a group of medicines called prokinetic agents which works by accelerating the gastric emptying time, thereby increasing the movement of the food pipe, intestine and stomach.
Besides this, Itopride also has anti-emetic action, which prevents the symptoms of nausea and vomiting.
Together, Nexpro IT Capsule helps in preventing acid reflux, thereby providing relief from hyperacidity, ulcers and heartburn.
