Medicinal Benefits

Esomflux IT V Capsule SR is a combination medicine used to treat acidity, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), stomach ulcer and heartburn. Esomflux IT V Capsule SR is a combination of two drugs, namely: Esomeprazole and Itopride. Esomeprazole belongs to a group of medicines called proton pump inhibitors, whereas itopride belongs to a group of medicines called prokinetic agents. Esomeprazole works by blocking the action of an enzyme called the gastric proton pump, responsible for the production of stomach acid. Itopride 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 symptom of nausea and vomiting. Together, Esomflux IT V Capsule SR helps in preventing acid reflux, thereby providing relief from hyperacidity, ulcers and heartburn.
