Levopraz Capsule 10's

Levopraz Capsule is used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), acidity, heartburn, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, Helicobacter pylori infection, irritable bowel syndrome, indigestion, and duodenal and gastric ulcers. The stomach is usually protected from acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, excess acid production erodes the mucous layer, which leads to acidity.

Levopraz Capsule combines two drugs: dexrabeprazole (proton pump inhibitor) and levosulpiride (prokinetic agent). Dexrabeprazole works by blocking the action of an enzyme called the 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 preventing the backflow of food and acid into the mouth. Together, Levopraz Capsule helps prevent acid reflux, thereby relieving acidity and heartburn.

Depending on your medical condition, you are advised to take Levopraz Capsule for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you. Sometimes, you may experience common side effects, such as headache, nausea, vomiting, gas, abdominal pain, dizziness, and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Let your doctor know if you have a history of intestinal blockage or gastrointestinal bleeding. Long-term usage of Levopraz Capsule may result in hypomagnesemia and osteoporosis. If you are pregnant or nursing, see a doctor. Drive only if you are aware since Levopraz Capsule may make you drowsy and dizzy. Levopraz Capsule is not recommended for children as safety and effectiveness have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Levopraz Capsule as it could lead to increased drowsiness and elevate stomach acid production.

Levopraz Capsule is used in the treatment of Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, acidity, indigestion, heartburn, and peptic ulcers. The detailed uses of Levopraz Capsule are as follows:

• Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD):This combination, which controls acid production and improves motility, can help alleviate symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation, and chest discomfort.
• Functional dyspepsia:Levopraz Capsule relieves functional dyspepsia symptoms like bloating, nausea, and discomfort, improving digestion and gastric emptying.
• Peptic ulcers:Levopraz Capsule aids in healing peptic ulcers by decreasing acid secretion, preventing recurrence, and relieving symptoms.

• Take Levopraz Capsule with food or as advised by your doctor.
• Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication to ensure safe and effective use.
• Swallow Levopraz Capsule as a whole with a glass of water.

Levopraz Capsule is a combination of two drugs: dexabeprazole and Levosulpiride. Levopraz Capsule belongs to a group of medicines called gastrointestinal agents used to treat gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), acidity, heartburn, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, Helicobacter pylori infection, irritable bowel syndrome, indigestion, duodenal and gastric ulcers. Dexrabeprazole works by blocking the action of an enzyme called gastric proton pump, which is responsible for the production of acid. Levosulpiride is a prokinetic agent that increases the pressure of the inferior oesophageal (food pipe) sphincter, thereby preventing the backflow of food and acid into the mouth. Together, Levopraz Capsule helps in preventing acid reflux, thereby providing relief from acidity and heartburn. 

Do not take Levopraz Capsule if you are allergic to any of its components. Inform your doctor if you have a history of pheochromocytoma (tumour of the adrenal gland), epilepsy, mania, gastrointestinal bleeding, intestinal obstruction, or severe kidney or liver impairment. Levopraz Capsule may cause osteoporosis (weak and brittle bones) and hypomagnesemia (low magnesium levels) on long-term treatment. Consult a doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Levopraz Capsule may cause dizziness and drowsiness, so drive only if you are alert. Levopraz Capsule is not recommended for children as safety and effectiveness have not been established. Avoid alcohol intake while using Levopraz Capsule since it can increase acid production in the stomach.
