Benefits of Moza Plus Capsule SR
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. Moza Plus 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.
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). Moza Plus 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 the
medicine as it is prescribed for it to be effective, even if the symptoms seem
to disappear.

How Moza Plus Capsule SR works
Moza Plus Capsule SR is a combination of two medicines: Pantoprazole and mosapride which relieve symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Pantoprazole 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 heartburn. Mosapride is a prokinetic which facilitates the movement of intestines, thereby increasing the frequency of bowel movements, softening stools, and reducing abdominal pain/discomfort.
