Medicinal Benefits:

Nippy-L Capsule 10's belongs to a group of medicines called gastrointestinal agents used to treat gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Nippy-L Capsule 10's is a combination of two drugs, namely: Esomeprazole (proton pump inhibitor) and Levosulpiride (prokinetic agent). Esomeprazole works by blocking the action of an enzyme called gastric proton pump, which is responsible for the production of acid.

Together, Nippy-L Capsule 10's helps in preventing acid reflux, thereby providing relief from acidity and heartburn.
