How to use Sompraz L Capsule SR
Take Sompraz L Capsule SR in the dose and duration advised by your doctor, usually once daily on an empty stomach. Swallow the capsule whole with water — do not chew, crush or break it, as this can affect the sustained-release action.
How Sompraz L Capsule SR works
Esomeprazole blocks the acid pump in the stomach lining, reducing acid output and easing the burning discomfort of reflux. Levosulpiride acts on dopamine receptors to boost stomach and gut motility, which helps food move through faster and lessens nausea and the feeling of fullness.
