BURPEX CAPSULE contains Omeprazole and Cinitapride, a group of gastrointestinal agents used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Omeprazole reduces the amount of acid the stomach produces and prevents excess acid from flowing back into the food pipe. Cinitapride increases the movement of the food pipe (oesophagus), small intestine, and stomach, thereby enhancing bowel movement and emptying the digestive tract in a shorter time. Together, it helps prevent acid reflux, thereby relieving hyperacidity and heartburn.

About BURPEX CAPSULE

BURPEX CAPSULE is used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus). Peptic ulcers are sores that develop on the inner lining of the intestine and stomach. Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is characterised by the formation of tumours in the upper part of the small intestine, which leads to excess acid production.

BURPEX CAPSULE is a combination of two drugs: Omeprazole (proton pump inhibitor) and Cinitapride (gastroprokinetic agent). Omeprazole works by blocking the action of proton pumps that produce stomach acid. It reduces the amount of acid the stomach produces and prevents excess acid from flowing back into the food pipe. On the other hand, Cinitapride increases the movement of the food pipe (oesophagus), small intestine and stomach, thereby enhancing bowel movement and the digestive tract empties from the food in a shorter time. Together, BURPEX CAPSULE helps prevent acid reflux, thereby relieving hyperacidity and heartburn.

Take BURPEX CAPSULE as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to take BURPEX CAPSULE for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition. BURPEX CAPSULE may cause side effects such as headache, diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, flatulence (gas), stomach pain, or constipation. Most of these side effects of BURPEX CAPSULE do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to Omeprazole, Cinitapride or any other medicines. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before taking BURPEX CAPSULE. Inform your doctor if you have reduced vitamin B12 as BURPEX CAPSULE may reduce the absorption of vitamin B12. Tell your doctor if you have osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones). Drive only if you are alert, as BURPEX CAPSULE may cause dizziness or vision disturbances in some people.
