Benefits of Safepraz Plus Capsule SR

Treatment of Gastroesophageal reflux disease (Acid reflux)
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic (long-term) condition in which there is an excess production of acid in the stomach. Safepraz Plus Capsule SR reduces the amount of acid your stomach makes and relieves the pain associated with heartburn and acid reflux. You should take it exactly as it is prescribed for it to be effective. Some simple lifestyle changes can help reduce the symptoms of GERD. Think about what foods trigger heartburn and try to avoid them; eat smaller, more frequent meals; try to lose weight if you are overweight and try to find ways to relax. Do not eat within 3-4 hours of going to bed.

How Safepraz Plus Capsule SR works

Safepraz Plus Capsule SR is a combination of pantoprazole and cinitapride. Pantoprazole works by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach, which helps prevent irritation and damage to the food pipe. Cinitapride improves the movement of the stomach and intestines and helps strengthen the lower esophageal sphincter, preventing the backflow of stomach contents into the food pipe. Together, they reduce acid reflux and improve digestive movement.
