Rabeprazole 20mg + Domperidone 30mg SR

Description

Rabjest-DSR capsule is a combination gastrointestinal medication used to manage conditions related to excess stomach acid, reflux, and motility disorders. It contains two active components that work through complementary mechanisms to provide effective relief from symptoms such as acidity, heartburn, bloating, and regurgitation. Rabeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that suppresses the secretion of gastric acid in the stomach. It acts by blocking the H+/K+ ATPase pump located in the gastric parietal cells, thereby reducing acid production at the final step of acid secretion. This helps in the healing of acid-related damage to the esophageal and gastric lining and provides long-lasting relief from symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), gastritis, and peptic ulcers. Domperidone, a prokinetic agent, enhances gastrointestinal motility by blocking dopamine D2 receptors in the upper digestive tract. This action promotes faster gastric emptying, reduces nausea, and prevents reflux by increasing the tone of the lower esophageal sphincter. Domperidone helps alleviate symptoms caused by delayed stomach emptying, such as fullness, nausea, and bloating. The capsule is commonly formulated as a modified-release or sustained-release dosage, ensuring that each component is delivered effectively for optimal absorption and action. Inactive ingredients may include microcrystalline cellulose, lactose, and capsule shell components, varying by manufacturer. This combination is generally taken orally, often before meals, depending on medical advice. It is intended for use under the supervision of a healthcare professional, especially because domperidone may require caution in patients with cardiac conditions. Common side effects can include headache, dry mouth, dizziness, stomach discomfort, or mild gastrointestinal disturbances. Rare but serious side effects may involve allergic reactions or heart rhythm changes, requiring prompt medical attention. Rabjest DSR capsule provides an effective dual approach—acid suppression and improved gastric motility—to manage persistent acidity and reflux-related disorders.
