Uses, Side Effects, Price of NEUTOCID LS Capsule 10's:
NEUTOCID LS CAPSULE is a combination of Levosulpiride and Rabeprazole which belongs to the group of medicines called Dopamine D2 antagonists and Proton-pump inhibitors respectively. NEUTOCID LS CAPSULE is indicated for the treatment of Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). GERD is a chronic digestive disease in which stomach acid frequently flows into the esophagus leading to irritation and inflammation of the lining of the food pipe. Symptoms include heartburn, chest pain, nausea, the sensation of a lump in the throat, and stomach discomfort.
NEUTOCID LS CAPSULE can also be used to treat peptic ulcer (painful sores in the gut), Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (tumors in the pancreas causing the stomach to secrete more acid), functional dyspepsia (recurrent signs and symptoms of indigestion without an obvious cause) and diabetic gastroparesis (delayed gastric emptying caused due to diabetes).
Take NEUTOCID LS CAPSULE preferably on an empty stomach. Avoid consumption of alcohol while taking NEUTOCID LS CAPSULE as it could potentiate CNS depressive side effects.
Patients receiving long-term treatment (>1 year) with NEUTOCID LS CAPSULE should be kept on regular surveillance because it can increase the risk of bone fracture (i.e., in the hip, wrist or spine) which is more predominant in the patients having osteoporosis or taking corticosteroids.
