Acera-L Capsule SR 1*10

Product Introduction
Acera-L Capsule SR is a prescription medicine used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), intestinal ulcers, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It helps by reducing excess acid production in the stomach and preventing acid reflux into the food pipe. Additionally, it improves intestinal movement, providing relief from discomfort and bloating.

Acera-L Capsule SR can be taken with or without food, as directed by your doctor. The dosage will depend on your condition and response to treatment. It’s important to continue taking the medicine for the prescribed duration, even if symptoms improve, to prevent recurrence. Inform your doctor about any other medications you are taking, as some may interact with this medicine.

Common side effects may include nausea, stomach pain, diarrhea, constipation, flatulence, headache, weakness, and flu-like symptoms. These are generally mild and temporary. However, if they persist or cause concern, contact your doctor immediately. The medicine may also cause drowsiness or dizziness, so avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how it affects you. Refrain from consuming alcohol, as it may worsen drowsiness.

For best results, adopt lifestyle measures such as eating fiber-rich foods, avoiding trigger foods, drinking plenty of fluids, and maintaining regular physical activity. Inform your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, or if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.

How Acera-L Capsule SR Works
Acera-L Capsule SR contains Levosulpiride and Rabeprazole:

• Levosulpiride is a prokinetic agent that increases the release of acetylcholine, a chemical messenger that enhances the movement of the stomach and intestines, preventing acid reflux.
