Acera It Capsule
Acera It Capsule Description
Acera It Capsule is used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) also known as acid reflux condition. This condition leads to acid regurgitating from the stomach into the food pipe, causing h
eartburn, chest discomfort and acidity. Acera It contains rabeprazole and itopride as its active ingredient. This Capsule lowers the acid secretion in the stomach and prevents the outflow of contents of the stomach to the food pipe. Acera It Capsule should be taken at least 30 minutes before meals for the best result. It is advised to avoid the consumption of spicy and oily food while on this medicine, for effective results.
