Esomeprazole + Levosulpiride
Description:
Sompraz L Cap is a combination medication used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and other acid-related disorders, particularly when associated with symptoms of functional dyspepsia such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal discomfort.
Esomeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that works by reducing the production of acid in the stomach, thereby relieving heartburn, acid regurgitation, and healing erosive esophagitis. Levosulpiride is a prokinetic and antidopaminergic agent that helps to improve gastric motility and emptying, reducing symptoms like bloating, fullness, and nausea.
The combination of a PPI and a prokinetic agent in Sompraz L Cap aims to provide comprehensive relief by both suppressing acid production and enhancing the movement of food through the digestive system. This can be particularly beneficial for patients who experience both reflux symptoms and upper gastrointestinal motility issues. The capsule formulation is usually taken once or twice daily, as directed by a physician, typically before meals.
Common side effects associated with esomeprazole can include headache, diarrhea, nausea, and abdominal pain. Levosulpiride may cause side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness, and breast tenderness. Patients should be aware of potential drug interactions and should inform their doctor of all medications they are taking. Long-term use of PPIs has been associated with certain risks, so the duration of treatment should be.
