Uses / Indications:
Esomac L 75mg/40mg Capsule is a combination drug that helps treat and control a number of gastrointestinal problems associated to acid, such as:
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a condition that causes acid reflux and heartburn all the time.
Ulcers in the stomach and duodenum
Stomach problems such acidity, gas, and bloating
Vomiting and nausea caused by acid reflux or gastritis
Gastric pain due to delayed gastric emptying
Zollinger–Ellison syndrome: too much acid is generated in the stomach.
This capsule does two things: it lowers too much stomach acid and helps the digestive tract flow better.
Pregnancy interaction:
Be careful when using this when pregnant.
There isn't much information about how safe it is for pregnant women to take Levosulpiride with Esomeprazole.
A doctor should only give this medicine if it is obviously needed and after weighing the risks and benefits.
Breastfeeding: Levosulpiride may get into breast milk in small doses and hurt the infant, so talk to your doctor before using it while breastfeeding.
If you are pregnant, planning to get pregnant, or breastfeeding, you should always talk to a doctor.
Expert advice:
For best results, take the capsule before meals.
Steer clear of spicy, oily foods, coffee, and alcohol because they can make acidity worse.
If you feel sleepy or dizzy, don't drive or use machinery.
If your doctor doesn't tell you to, don't take any other medicines that lower acid.
Long-term use could lead to a lack of magnesium or vitamin B12, therefore you may need to check your levels often.
Tell your doctor right away if you notice any strange movement problems, changes in your breasts, or extreme stomach pain.
Keep it in a cool, dry area, away from light and water.
Side Effects:
Pain in the head
Feeling sick or throwing up
Pain in the stomach
Constipation or diarrhea
Feeling sleepy or lightheaded
Mouth that is dry
Less common yet dangerous adverse effects:
Tremors or restlessness (with Levosulpiride)
Heartbeats that aren't regular
Low magnesium levels can cause muscle cramps and an irregular pulse.
Breast soreness or discharge (rare hormonal consequence)
Allergic responses can cause rashes, swelling, and trouble breathing.
If you have severe dizziness, chest discomfort, vomiting that won't stop, or an allergic reaction, you should see a doctor.
How to use:
Take one capsule every day, preferably 30 minutes before meals or as your doctor tells you to.
Do not crush, chew, or open the capsule. Just swallow it whole with a glass of water.
For the best benefits, take it at the same time every day.
Even if your symptoms go better, keep taking the medicine for the full amount of time it was given.
Don't stop taking the medicine or modify the dose without first talking to your doctor.
If you forget to take your medicine, take it as soon as you remember. Do not take twice the dose if it is almost time for the next one.
How it works:
There are two active compounds in Esomac L Capsule:
Levosulpiride (75 mg):
A prokinetic and antipsychotic drug that makes the gut move more smoothly.
It works by inhibiting dopamine D2 receptors in the brain and intestines. This helps the stomach empty faster and stops nausea and vomiting.
It also helps with acid reflux, bloating, and feeling full too quickly (early satiety).
Esomeprazole (40 mg):
A proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that stops the stomach from making acid.
It stops the H⁺/K⁺-ATPase enzyme system in the stomach lining, which lowers the amount of acid that is made.
Helps ulcers heal and keeps acid from hurting the esophagus.
These drugs work well together to lower acidity, help digestion, and stop reflux symptoms.

Clopidogrel's antiplatelet activity was lower when taken with Esomeprazole.
Warfarin, Phenytoin, or Diazepam - higher blood levels, higher risk of negative effects.
Antidepressants (SSRIs, MAOIs) - work better with Levosulpiride.
Antacids or H2 blockers may make it harder for your body to absorb Esomeprazole.
Alcohol makes you more sleepy and acidic.
