Esmodac-L Capsule 10's

Esmodac-L Capsule is used to treat acid-related stomach disorders. The detailed uses of Esmodac-L Capsule are as follows:

• Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD): Esmodac-L Capsule is used to treat acid reflux, heartburn, and irritation of the food pipe (oesophagus).
• Acidity: Esmodac-L Capsule helps to reduce excessive stomach acid production and related discomfort.
• Heartburn: Esmodac-L Capsule treats the burning sensation in the chest due to acid reflux.
• Peptic ulcers: Esmodac-L Capsule helps in the healing of ulcers in the stomach and upper intestine by lowering acid production.
• Indigestion: Esmodac-L Capsule improves digestion by reducing acid and promoting normal stomach movement.

• Esmodac-L Capsule belongs to a group of medicines called gastrointestinal agents used to treat gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
• Esomeprazole (proton pump inhibitor) works by blocking the action of an enzyme called the gastric proton pump, which is responsible for the production of acid.
• Levosulpiride (prokinetic agent) works by increasing the stomach and intestinal movement and pressure of the inferior oesophageal (food pipe) sphincter, thereby preventing the backflow of food and acid into the mouth.
• Esmodac-L Capsule helps in preventing acid reflux, thereby providing relief from acidity and heartburn.

• Esmodac-L Capsule should be taken 1 hour before a meal, preferably in the morning.
• It is usually taken once daily or as prescribed by your doctor.
• Swallow Esmodac-L Capsule as a whole with a glass of water.
