Uses

Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease.

Medicinal Benefits

Raciper-L Capsule PR belongs to a group of medicines called gastrointestinal agents used to treat gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Raciper-L Capsule PR is a combination of two drugs, namely: Esomeprazole (proton pump inhibitor) and Levosulpiride (prokinetic agent). 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, Raciper-L Capsule PR helps in preventing acid reflux, thereby providing relief from acidity and heartburn.
