Introduction About NEXPRO L CAPSULE
NEXPRO L CAPSULE is a combination of Esomeprazole and Levosulpiride which belongs to the group of medicines called Proton-pump inhibitors and Dopamine D2 antagonists respectively. NEXPRO L CAPSULE is indicated for the management of Gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) among patients who do not adequately respond to proton-pump inhibitors alone (Ex. pantoprazole, rabeprazole, esomeprazole, omeprazole).
GERD is a chronic digestive disease in which the stomach acid frequently flows into the esophagus leading to irritation of lining of food pipe. Symptoms include heartburn, chest pain, nausea, sensation of lump in throat and stomach discomfort.
NEXPRO L CAPSULE can also be used to manage peptic ulcer caused by H. pylori infection or NSAID use. Peptic ulcers are painful sores that develop on the linings of the stomach, esophagus or intestines. Symptoms include stomach pain, flatulence, indigestion, vomiting and fatigue.
Along management with NEXPRO L CAPSULE eat less spicy food and drink plenty of water or fluids as advised by your physician. Avoid consumption of alcohol as it could aggravate your existing disease conditions.
Patients receiving long-term management with NEXPRO L CAPSULE should be kept on regular surveillance to rule out the risk of bone fractures (hip, wrist or spine), predominantly in patients taking corticosteroids and in patients with other recognized risk factors like osteoporosis. Before taking NEXPRO L CAPSULE, inform your doctor if you have any heart, kidney or liver disease as a precaution.
NEXPRO L CAPSULE is not recommended for use in pregnant or breastfeeding women, including children and adolescents (aged below 18 years) due to lack of safety and effectiveness. NEXPRO L CAPSULE should be used with caution in elderly patients (aged 65 years or above).
The most common side effects of taking NEXPRO L CAPSULE are headache, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, diarrhea or constipation. Consult your doctor if any of the side effects worsen.
Uses Of NEXPRO L CAPSULE
- Manage Gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) among patients who do not respond to proton-pump inhibitors (Ex. pantoprazole, rabeprazole, esomeprazole, omeprazole) alone

How NEXPRO L CAPSULE Works
NEXPRO L CAPSULE reduces peptic ulcers and acid reflux, where rabeprazole acts by inhibiting the secretions of stomach acid by blocking the proton pump (H+ K+ ATPase) at the secretory surface of gastric parietal cells and levosulpiride acts by blocking the dopamine D2 receptors in the gut which promotes the secretions of acetylcholine, thus facilitating gastric emptying and healing of ulcers and/or esophageal lesions.
