RABIUM DSR

About

Rabium DSR is a combination medication containing rabeprazole (a proton pump inhibitor) and domperidone (a prokinetic agent), often formulated for delayed-release or sustained-release to optimize therapeutic effect. Rabeprazole effectively reduces gastric acid secretion by inhibiting the proton pump in stomach cells, thereby alleviating symptoms of acid reflux and promoting healing of esophageal damage. Domperidone acts by blocking dopamine receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone and the gastrointestinal tract, which helps to reduce nausea and vomiting while also accelerating gastric emptying. This synergistic action makes Rabium DSR highly effective in managing complex gastrointestinal conditions such as severe GERD, dyspepsia, and gastroparesis, where both acid control and improved gut motility are crucial for symptom resolution.
