Nexpro Rd 40mg Strip Of 10 Capsules
Medical Description
Nexpro RD 40 capsule is used to treat stomach reflux disease in which acid from the stomach flows back to the food pipe and results in heartburn, belching, nausea and chest pain. This capsule is an anti-reflux medicine. It is a combination of medicines containing esomeprazole and domperidone.
Nexpro RD 40 capsule acts by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach and improves the passage of food in the gut, thereby reducing the backflow of stomach content to the food pipe. It should be taken as directed by the doctor and in doses and duration as prescribed. Take this medicine on an empty stomach, preferably at least 30mins before a meal in the morning.
Esmetru D capsule, Esogress D 40mg capsule, Raciper D capsule, and Es Omepraz Dsr capsule are some other medications with domperidone and esomeprazole. Never skip any meal of the day. Always have small but frequent meals. You should avoid eating late, before bedtime, spicy, oily food, carbonated or caffeinated drinks, smoking or alcohol.

Mode of Action of NEXPRO RD 40MG STRIP OF 10 CAPSULES
How Does It Work?
- Nexpro RD 40 mg capsule is a combination of two components - Esomeprazole and Domperidone and it works via combined action of these components.
- Esomeprazole belongs to the class of medicines called proton pump inhibitors. The lining of the stomach secretes acid by certain processes that involve the intake of ions via proton pumps in the cells. Esomeprazole reduces the intake of the ions in the stomach cells that are necessary for the production of digestive acids in the stomach and hence leads to reduced acid production....
- Domperidone acts by increasing the motility of the stomach and intestines so that acid does not reflux back into the food pipe.
