Rabsig-DSR Capsule

Introduction

Rabsig-DSR Capsule is a combination medication commonly prescribed to treat conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), acid reflux, and peptic ulcers. It contains two active ingredients: Rabeprazole and Domperidone. Rabeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that works by reducing stomach acid production, while Domperidone is a prokinetic agent that helps in improving gastric motility and reducing nausea. This medication is effective in alleviating symptoms such as heartburn, acid regurgitation, and discomfort caused by digestive issues.

Uses of Rabsig-DSR Capsule

Rabsig-DSR Capsule is used for:

• Treating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
• Relieving symptoms of acid reflux and heartburn
• Managing peptic ulcers and duodenal ulcers
• Reducing nausea and improving gastric motility
• Alleviating bloating and fullness caused by delayed gastric emptying

How Rabsig-DSR Capsule Works

Rabsig-DSR Capsule works through its two active components. Rabeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, decreases the production of stomach acid by blocking the enzyme responsible for acid secretion. This helps to heal ulcers and reduces irritation caused by excess acid. Domperidone, a prokinetic agent, enhances the movement of the stomach and intestines, promoting faster gastric emptying and reducing symptoms like nausea and bloating.

Benefits of Rabsig-DSR Capsule

• Reduces acid production, providing relief from heartburn and acid reflux
• Promotes faster gastric emptying and reduces nausea
• Helps in the healing of peptic ulcers
• Improves digestion and reduces bloating
• Provides long-lasting relief from GERD symptoms
