Piza-D Tablet

Introduction

Piza-D Tablet is a combination medication commonly prescribed to manage conditions related to acid reflux, heartburn, and digestive disorders. It contains Rabeprazole and Domperidone, which work together to provide relief from symptoms like acid indigestion and nausea. Rabeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces stomach acid production, while Domperidone is a dopamine antagonist that promotes gastric motility, easing symptoms like bloating and discomfort. Piza-D Tablet is often used for conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), gastritis, and functional dyspepsia.

Uses of Piza-D Tablet

Piza-D Tablet is primarily used for the following medical conditions:

• Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) – to reduce acid reflux and relieve heartburn.
• Functional dyspepsia – to improve digestion and alleviate bloating and discomfort.
• Gastritis – to reduce inflammation and irritation of the stomach lining.
• Prevention of acid-related stomach issues, especially after certain types of meals or medications.
• Indigestion and nausea – to help regulate gastric motility and prevent vomiting.

How Piza-D Tablet Works

Piza-D Tablet works through the synergistic effects of its two active ingredients. Rabeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, works by inhibiting the proton pumps in the stomach lining, reducing the production of stomach acid. This helps control acid reflux and prevents damage to the stomach and esophagus. Domperidone, on the other hand, helps by enhancing gastric motility, accelerating the emptying of the stomach, and preventing nausea and bloating.

Benefits of Piza-D Tablet

• Reduces symptoms of acid reflux and heartburn by lowering stomach acid levels.
• Improves digestion and alleviates bloating, discomfort, and nausea associated with functional dyspepsia.
• Relieves inflammation and irritation in the stomach lining caused by gastritis.
• Helps prevent vomiting and regurgitation in individuals with gastric motility issues.
• Promotes faster gastric emptying, reducing the chances of acid reflux and indigestion.
