Esofine-LS Capsule SR

Esofine-LS Capsule SR is a combination medicine widely used for the treatment of acid reflux, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), chronic gastritis, and indigestion associated with nausea, vomiting, and bloating. It usually contains Esomeprazole (a proton pump inhibitor) and Levosulpiride (a prokinetic agent). Esomeprazole reduces excess stomach acid by blocking acid-producing pumps in the stomach lining, providing effective relief from acidity, heartburn, and ulcer-related discomfort. Levosulpiride helps regulate gut movement, prevents reflux, and improves gastric emptying, thereby reducing bloating, nausea, and belching. The sustained-release (SR) formulation ensures prolonged effectiveness with once-daily dosing. This capsule is particularly useful for patients suffering from long-term acid reflux symptoms and related digestive disorders, improving both symptom control and quality of life. It should always be taken under the guidance of a healthcare professional for safe and effective results.
