Pepcia L Capsule 10's

Question 1

How does Pepcia L Capsule 10's work?

Accepted Answer

Pepcia L Capsule 10's contains Rabeprazole and Levosulpiride. Rabeprazole works by blocking an enzyme called gastric proton pump, which is responsible for the production of acid. Levosulpiride works by increasing the pressure of the inferior oesophageal (food pipe) sphincter, thereby prevents the backflow of food and acid into the mouth. Together, Pepcia L Capsule 10's helps in providing relief from acidity.

Question 2

Does lying down after having meals cause acidity?

Accepted Answer

Avoid lying down immediately after meals to prevent acid reflux. Raise the head of the bed 10-20cm by putting on a pillow so that the head and chest are above the waist. This helps in preventing acid reflux.
