RABIFRENCH DSR 10.S

About

RABIFRENCH DSR is a combination medication primarily used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and other acid-related conditions. It combines Rabeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), with Domperidone in a sustained-release (SR) formulation. 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 existing ulcers, prevent new ones, and alleviate symptoms like heartburn and acid regurgitation. Domperidone, a prokinetic agent, enhances gastric motility by blocking dopamine receptors in the gut. This accelerates gastric emptying and reduces nausea and vomiting, which are common symptoms associated with GERD and dyspepsia. The sustained-release formulation ensures prolonged action, providing consistent symptom control throughout the day and night, making it an effective treatment for complex acid reflux issues.
