Esocet-L Cap

Capsule

Relief of acidity/heartburn and reflux (GERD), gastritis with associated allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itching, watery eyes; used when both acid-related symptoms and allergic symptoms coexist.

Esomeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that reduces stomach acid by blocking the H+/K+ ATPase pump in gastric parietal cells. Levocetirizine is a selective H1 antihistamine that reduces allergy symptoms like sneezing, itching and watery eyes.

Capsule: take as prescribed by the doctor. Generally taken once daily; preferably on an empty stomach 30–60 minutes before food (often before breakfast). Swallow whole; do not crush or chew.
