Is Nexpro L safe to take, and will my stomach symptoms return once I stop it, or is there a risk that it could damage the valve between my food pipe and stomach or become habit-forming?
Nexpro L, which contains esomeprazole and levosulpiride, is safe when used as prescribed. Rest assured, it is not habit-forming, and it will not damage the valve between your food pipe and stomach; rather, it helps protect your esophagus from acid irritation. Sometimes, stopping the medication abruptly can cause a temporary return of symptoms, known as rebound acidity. To prevent this, your doctor will help you taper off the medication gradually when you are ready to stop. You are doing a wonderful job managing your health, and taking this as directed will help your stomach heal comfortably.
