ACIBIN-L TAB

About

Acibin-L Tab is a combination medication used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and other acid-related conditions, particularly when associated with symptoms like nausea, vomiting, or delayed gastric emptying. It typically combines a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) like Rabeprazole with Levosulpiride, a prokinetic and anti-emetic agent. Rabeprazole works by reducing the production of stomach acid, thereby alleviating heartburn and promoting healing of the esophagus. Levosulpiride enhances gastrointestinal motility by blocking dopamine D2 receptors, which helps in accelerating gastric emptying and reducing reflux, while also providing anti-emetic effects. This dual action provides comprehensive relief from acid reflux and associated digestive discomforts.
