Puricid L 75/40 Mg Capsule 10 is taken orally.

Puricid L 75/40 Mg Capsule 10 contains two active ingredients:

• Levosulpiride (75 mg): As an atypical antipsychotic and prokinetic agent, levosulpiride works by selectively antagonising dopamine D2 receptors in your central nervous system and gastrointestinal tract. This action enhances gastrointestinal motility and accelerates gastric emptying. Additionally, levosulpiride has anti-emetic and antidepressant effects due to its interaction with dopamine and serotonin receptors.

• Pantoprazole (40 mg): As a proton pump inhibitor, pantoprazole suppresses gastric acid secretion by irreversibly blocking the hydrogen/potassium adenosine triphosphatase enzyme system at the secretory surface of gastric parietal cells. This action decreases both basal and stimulated gastric acid secretion, increasing the pH of your stomach.

The combined action of levosulpiride and pantoprazole in Puricid L 75/40 Mg Capsule 10 helps manage gastrointestinal symptoms by improving gut motility and reducing excess acid production.

• If you're managing gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD) with Puricid L 75/40 Mg Capsule 10, consider reducing the consumption of spicy foods, caffeine, and alcohol, which can aggravate acid reflux.

• For those dealing with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), incorporating a high-fibre diet along with regular exercise can help manage symptoms.
