Es-Lomac L Capsule Substitute

Es-Lomac L Capsule 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, Es-Lomac L Capsule helps in preventing acid reflux, thereby providing relief from acidity.

Diarrhoea might be a side-effect of Es-Lomac L Capsule . Drink enough fluids and eat non-spicy food if you experience diarrhoea. If you find blood in stools (tarry stools) or if you experience severe diarrhoea, consult your doctor. Do not take anti-diarrheal medicine on your own.

Do not take Es-Lomac L Capsule with nelfinavir (a drug used to treat HIV infections). Consult your doctor before taking Es-Lomac L Capsule with other medicines to rule out unpleasant side-effects.
