• Esomeprazole: Nexpro L contains esomeprazole. It is an inactive form of medicine that is converted into an active form upon entering the acidic environment of the stomach. After conversion to the active form, it inhibits a protein which is responsible for acid production. This inhibition of acid production reduces symptoms of GERD. 
• Levosulpiride: Nexpro L contains Levosulpiride, which helps improve digestion by promoting gastric motility and facilitating the movement of food through the digestive system. It exerts dual medicinal actions at two different sites: the D2 site and the 5HT-4 site, where it decreases the action of dopamine and increases the action of serotonin. These actions help control body movements and regulate digestive functions.
