It works by relieving symptoms of acidity such as heartburn, stomach pain, and irritation.

Uses of Nexpro IT Capsule SR:
- Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
GERD is a chronic condition where stomach acid frequently flows back into the esophagus, leading to heartburn, acid indigestion, and other discomforts. Nexpro IT Capsule SR helps alleviate these symptoms by reducing stomach acid production and promoting smoother digestion.
Benefits of Nexpro IT Capsule SR:
- In GERD (Acid Reflux):
Nexpro IT Capsule SR effectively reduces the acid production in the stomach, which helps in the relief of heartburn and other acid-related discomforts. It also aids in improving the motility of the stomach and intestines, thus preventing food from backing up into the esophagus. Regular use of the medicine as prescribed can help manage GERD symptoms and improve your quality of life.
How Nexpro IT Capsule SR Works:
- Esomeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that works by blocking the proton pumps in the stomach, which are responsible for producing stomach acid. This reduces the overall acid production in the stomach, helping prevent acid reflux and alleviating symptoms like heartburn and indigestion.
- Itopride is a prokinetic that works on the brain region controlling vomiting. It enhances the movement of the stomach and intestines, allowing food to move more easily through the digestive tract and reducing discomfort associated with delayed gastric emptying.
