NEOPRIDE TOTAL CAP

About

NEOPRIDE TOTAL CAP is a combination medication typically containing a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) like Rabeprazole and a prokinetic agent such as Levosulpiride. Rabeprazole works by reducing the production of stomach acid, thereby alleviating symptoms associated with acid reflux and promoting the healing of acid-related damage to the esophagus and stomach lining. This action is crucial for managing conditions like GERD and peptic ulcers.

Levosulpiride, on the other hand, acts as a prokinetic agent by increasing the motility of the gastrointestinal tract. It enhances the movement of food through the stomach and intestines, which helps to reduce symptoms like bloating, early satiety, and nausea, often associated with impaired gastric emptying. The combination provides comprehensive relief by both controlling acid secretion and improving digestive motility, offering a dual approach to managing complex gastrointestinal disorders.

Uses

• Treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) with associated motility issues.
• Management of dyspepsia (indigestion) with symptoms like bloating and nausea.
• Relief from symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) with predominant upper GI symptoms.
• Healing of peptic ulcers where gastric motility is also a concern.
