Iladac L Capsule 10's

Question 1

How does Iladac L Capsule 10's work?

Accepted Answer

Iladac L Capsule 10's is a combination of two drugs, namely: Ilaprazole (proton pump inhibitor) and Levosulpiride (prokinetic agent). Ilaprazole 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 release of a chemical messenger (acetylcholine), which increases the movement of the intestines and stomach, preventing the acid from going towards the food pipe. Both medicines in combination provide relief in acid-related problems.

Question 2

Does Iladac L Capsule 10's cause diarrhoea?

Diarrhea might be a side-effect of Iladac L Capsule 10's. Drink enough fluids and eat fiber-rich food if you experience diarrhea. If you find blood in stools (tarry stools) or if you experience excess diarrhea consult your doctor. Do not take anti-diarrheal medicine on your own.
