Benefits of Ezop Capsule

In Treatment of Gastroesophageal reflux disease (Acid reflux)

It happens because a muscle above your stomach relaxes too much and allows stomach contents to come back up into your esophagus and mouth.

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.
