Rabeprazole Sodium (EC) and Domperidone SR Capsules (20mg + 30mg)
Product Description:
This combination capsule is designed to manage gastrointestinal conditions, specifically targeting issues related to acid reflux and gastric motility. Each ingredient in the capsule works synergistically to provide relief from symptoms and promote gastrointestinal health.
Ingredients and Their Functions:

- Function: Rabeprazole Sodium reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach by blocking the enzyme responsible for acid secretion. This helps in healing acid-related damage to the stomach and esophagus, preventing ulcers, and treating conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
- Domperidone SR:

- Function: Domperidone SR (Sustained Release) enhances gastrointestinal motility by blocking dopamine receptors, which facilitates the movement of food through the stomach and intestines. It also helps in reducing nausea and vomiting.
