About
This combination medication contains Rabeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), and Domperidone, a prokinetic agent. Rabeprazole works by irreversibly blocking the proton pump in the stomach's parietal cells, significantly reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach. This provides effective relief from acid-related symptoms and allows the esophagus to heal from erosions caused by reflux. Domperidone enhances the movement of food through the stomach and intestines by blocking dopamine receptors, preventing reflux and reducing feelings of fullness, nausea, and vomiting.
The synergistic action of these two components addresses both the acid production and motility issues often seen in gastrointestinal disorders. This makes it a highly effective treatment for conditions where both acid suppression and improved gastric emptying are required, leading to comprehensive symptom relief and improved patient comfort.
