Hi Mitra TK
Welcome to heathcare Magic!
The nexium is an acidity reducing drug and the other drugs belong to a category of drugs called the prokinetics. They also improve the esophageal tone.
So a control of acidity reduces the corrosiveness of gastric juice and prokinetics will reduce reflux.
So the combination is synergistic and you can get good response if you take the medicines regularly.
Also ensure an upright posture for at least 2 hours post meals to reduce the damage to esophagus.
Wish you a great health!

Neopride is a drug belonging to Benzamide anti-psychotic group of drugs.

Esmoprazole is a good drug to counter act the reflux. You may continue taking it.

Hope this helps you.
