Side Effects

No common side effects listed

Esp 40 IT Capsule is a combination of two medicines: Esomeprazole and Itopride. Esomeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces the amount of acid in the stomach, helping in the relief of acid-related indigestion and heartburn. Itopride is a prokinetic that works on the region in the brain that controls vomiting and acts on the upper digestive tract to increase the movement of the stomach and intestines, allowing food to move more easily through the stomach.

You have been prescribed Esp 40 IT Capsule for the treatment of acidity and heartburn. Take it one hour before the meal, preferably in the morning. Inform your doctor if you get watery diarrhea, fever, or stomach pain that does not go away. Inform your doctor if you do not feel better after taking it for 14 days as you may be suffering from some other problem that needs attention. Long-term use can cause weak bones and deficiency of minerals such as magnesium. Take adequate dietary intake of calcium and magnesium or their supplements as prescribed by your doctor.
