The most common side effects are diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, flatulence, constipation, and headache. Most of these are temporary and usually resolve with time. Contact your doctor straight away if you are at all concerned about any side effects. To overcome constipation, you should add fibre-rich foods in your diet and stay hydrated.

Benefits of Easemo-L Capsule SR
Treatment of Gastroesophageal reflux disease (Acid reflux)
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic (long-term) condition in
which there is an excess production of acid in the stomach. Easemo-L Capsule SR reduces
the amount of acid your stomach makes and relieves the pain associated with
heartburn and acid reflux. You should take it exactly as it is prescribed for
it to be effective.
Some simple lifestyle changes can help reduce the symptoms of GERD. Think
about what foods trigger heartburn and try to avoid them; eat smaller, more
frequent meals; try to lose weight if you are overweight and try to find ways
to relax. Do not eat within 3-4 hours of going to bed.
Treatment of Peptic ulcer disease
Peptic ulcer disease is a condition in which painful sores or ulcers develop
in the inner lining of the stomach or gut (intestine). Easemo-L Capsule SR reduces the
amount of acid your stomach makes which prevents further damage to the ulcer
as it heals naturally. You may be given other medicines along with this
medicine depending on what caused the ulcer. You need to keep taking
Easemo-L Capsule SR as prescribed by the doctor for it to be effective, even if the
symptoms seem to disappear.

How Easemo-L Capsule SR works
Easemo-L Capsule SR is a combination of two medicines: Levosulpiride and Esomeprazole. Levosulpiride is a prokinetic which works by increasing the release of acetylcholine (a chemical messenger). This increases the movement of stomach and intestines, and prevents reflux (acid going up to the food pipe). Esomeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). It works by reducing the amount of acid in the stomach which helps in the relief of acid-related indigestion and ulcers.
