Esmofix L Capsule 10's is used to treat gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Gastroesophageal reflux disease occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe (oesophagus); this causes acidity, pain and heartburn.
Esmofix L Capsule 10's is a combination of two drugs, namely: Esomeprazole and Levosulpiride. Esomeprazole 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 stomach and intestinal movement and pressure of the inferior oesophageal (food pipe) sphincter, thereby preventing the backflow of food and acid into the mouth. Together, Esmofix L Capsule 10's helps in preventing acid reflux, thereby providing relief from acidity.
Diarrhoea might be a side effect of Esmofix L Capsule 10's. Drink enough fluids and eat non-spicy food if you experience diarrhoea. If you find blood in your stools (tarry stools) or if you experience severe diarrhoea, consult your doctor. Do not take anti-diarrheal medicine on your own.
