Nexpro Rd 20mg Strip Of 10 Capsules Description

Nexpro RD 20 capsule is an anti-reflux medicine. It is used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which does not respond to esomeprazole medication alone. It contains a combination of esom

eprazole and domperidone. GERD is a condition in which acid from the stomach flows back up to the food pipe and causes heartburn, belching, nausea and chest pain. Nexpro RD 20 capsule works by decreasing the amount of acid produced in the stomach and improves mortality in the gut. Thus, it reduces the backflow of stomach content to the food pipe. Take this medicine as per the prescribed duration. It should preferably be taken at least an hour before the meal. Do not stop taking this medicine without informing your doctor. Nexpro RD 20 capsule is not recommended for use in children below 18 years of age.
