About Evopride-DX Capsule

Evopride-DX Capsule is used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), acidity, heartburn, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, Helicobacter pylori infection, irritable bowel syndrome, indigestion, and duodenal and gastric ulcers. The stomach is usually protected from acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, excess acid production erodes the mucous layer, which leads to acidity.

Evopride-DX Capsule combines two drugs: dexrabeprazole (proton pump inhibitor) and levosulpiride (prokinetic agent). Dexrabeprazole works by blocking the action of an enzyme called the gastric proton pump, which is responsible for the production of acid. Levosulpiride works by increasing the pressure of the inferior oesophageal (food pipe) sphincter, thereby preventing the backflow of food and acid into the mouth. Together, Evopride-DX Capsule helps prevent acid reflux, thereby relieving acidity and heartburn.

Depending on your medical condition, you are advised to take Evopride-DX Capsule for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you. Sometimes, you may experience common side effects, such as headache, nausea, vomiting, gas, abdominal pain, dizziness, and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Let your doctor know if you have a history of intestinal blockage or gastrointestinal bleeding. Long-term usage of Evopride-DX Capsule may result in hypomagnesemia and osteoporosis. If you are pregnant or nursing, see a doctor. Drive only if you are aware since Evopride-DX Capsule may make you drowsy and dizzy. Evopride-DX Capsule is not recommended for children as safety and effectiveness have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Evopride-DX Capsule as it could lead to increased drowsiness and elevate stomach acid production.

Uses of Evopride-DX Capsule

Evopride-DX Capsule is used in the treatment of Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, acidity, indigestion, heartburn, and peptic ulcers. When used combined, Dexrabeprazole and Levosulpiride have a synergistic impact in treating disorders such as GERD or functional dyspepsia, in which both acid reflux and impaired motility contribute to symptoms.
Common Conditions Treated:
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): This combination, which controls acid production and improves motility, can help alleviate symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation, and chest discomfort.
Functional dyspepsia: Reduces symptoms of indigestion and bloating.
Gastroparesis: May promote stomach emptying and relieve symptoms such as nausea and fullness.

Directions for Use

Take Evopride-DX Capsule as prescribed by your doctor. It should be taken 1 hour before food. Swallow Evopride-DX Capsule as a whole with a glass of water; do not chew or crush it.
