How Sompraz L Capsule SR works

Levosulpiride: Levosulpiride is a prokinetic agent and dopamine antagonist. It works by increasing the movement of the stomach and intestines, which promotes faster gastric emptying and helps reduce symptoms like nausea, bloating, and vomiting. Esomeprazole: Esomeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces stomach acid production by blocking the enzyme responsible for acid secretion.

How To Use Sompraz L Capsule SR

Dosage: Follow the dosage prescribed by your healthcare provider.
Typically, one capsule is taken once or twice daily before meals.
Administration: Take the capsule orally with a full glass of water. It should be taken 30 minutes before meals for optimal results.
Do not crush or chew the capsule. Swallow it whole to ensure proper release of the medication.
