Ulpan-L Capsule

Product overview
Ulpan-L Capsule SR is commonly prescribed for the management of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a condition often linked with persistent acidity. By lowering acid levels in the stomach, it helps relieve discomfort such as heartburn, bloating, pain, or irritation, while also making digestion smoother and reducing excess gas.

This medicine can be taken either with meals or on an empty stomach, but always exactly as advised by your doctor. The right dose varies depending on your health condition and response to the treatment. Stopping it suddenly may bring back the symptoms, so continue for the full duration recommended by your healthcare provider. Make sure to inform your doctor about any other ongoing medicines, since interactions may occur.

Possible side effects
Some individuals may notice stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, headache, gas, dizziness, fever, rash, or joint pain. These effects are generally short-lived, but if they bother you or persist, speak with your doctor. Since the medicine may cause drowsiness, avoid driving or handling heavy machinery until you are confident about how it affects you. Alcohol can make these effects worse and is best avoided. Simple dietary changes like cutting down on tea, coffee, chocolate, or spicy foods, and including cooling foods such as cold milk, can enhance results.

Important precautions
If you have kidney problems, let your doctor know before starting this medicine, as the dose may need adjustment. It is also important to discuss if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Your doctor will weigh the risks and benefits before prescribing.

Uses of Ulpan-L Capsule SR
– Helps in controlling acid reflux and heartburn
– Reduces symptoms linked to GERD
– Provides relief from irritation and discomfort caused by excess acid

Benefits in GERD
GERD is a long-lasting condition where stomach acid frequently flows back into the food pipe, causing discomfort. Ulpan-L Capsule SR reduces acid production and eases associated symptoms. When taken regularly as directed, it provides relief and prevents complications. Alongside treatment, lifestyle adjustments such as smaller frequent meals, avoiding late-night eating, identifying food triggers, weight management, and stress reduction can improve outcomes.

How to take it
Swallow the capsule whole with water. Do not crush or chew it. Stick to a fixed time each day for best results.

How it works
The capsule contains levosulpiride and pantoprazole. Levosulpiride enhances the movement of the stomach and intestines, reducing reflux, while pantoprazole decreases acid production, bringing long-lasting relief from indigestion, acidity, and ulcer-related discomfort.
