ES-Omepraz L Capsule 10's Substitute

ES-Omepraz L Capsule 10's is a combination of two drugs, namely: Esomeprazole and Levosulpiride. Esomeprazole works by blocking the action of an enzyme called gastric proton pump, which is responsible for the production of acid. Levosulpiride 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. Together, ES-Omepraz L Capsule 10's helps in preventing acid reflux, thereby providing relief from acidity.
