tomach flow back up to the food pipe and causes heartburn, belching, nausea and chest pain. It contains Esomeprazole and Domperidone as its active ingredients.

Take Esokem-D capsule for the prescribed duration. It should preferably be taken at least an hour before a meal. This medicine is not for use in patients below 18 years of age. An active and healthy lifestyle is the key to control and manage acid reflux or related symptoms.
