About Emzole LS Capsule SR

Emzole LS Capsule SR is used to treat gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), acidity, indigestion, heartburn, and peptic ulcers. Gastroesophageal reflux disease occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus). This causes acidity and heartburn.

Emzole LS Capsule SR is a combination of Pantoprazole and Levosulpiride. Pantoprazole lowers acid production in the stomach. Levosulpiride works by increasing the pressure of the inferior oesophageal (food pipe) sphincter, thereby preventing the backflow of food and acid into the mouth.

In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as headache, nausea, vomiting, gas, dry mouth, dizziness and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention. However, talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Inform your doctor before taking Emzole LS Capsule SR if you have a history of gastrointestinal bleeding or intestinal obstruction. On long-term treatment, Emzole LS Capsule SR may cause osteoporosis and hypomagnesemia (low magnesium levels). Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

How Emzole LS Capsule SR Works
