JOPAN DSR CAP 10

About

Jopan DSR Capsules combine a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) with a prokinetic agent, offering comprehensive relief for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and related conditions. The PPI component, typically rabeprazole, works by irreversibly blocking the proton pumps in the stomach lining, thereby significantly reducing the production of stomach acid. This action helps to heal esophageal damage, alleviate heartburn, and prevent acid reflux. The prokinetic component, usually domperidone, enhances gastrointestinal motility by increasing the contractions of the stomach and intestines, facilitating the movement of food through the digestive tract. It also helps to tighten the lower esophageal sphincter, preventing acid and food from flowing back into the esophagus. This dual action effectively manages symptoms like heartburn, regurgitation, nausea, and bloating, providing sustained relief and promoting digestive comfort.
