REKOOL D CAP 15.S

About

REKOOL D CAP is a combination medication typically comprising a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) such as Rabeprazole or Omeprazole, and a prokinetic agent, Domperidone. The PPI component works by significantly reducing the production of stomach acid by inhibiting the H+/K+-ATPase enzyme system (proton pump) in the gastric parietal cells. This action is crucial for treating acid-related conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Domperidone, a dopamine antagonist, acts as a prokinetic agent by increasing the tone of the lower esophageal sphincter and enhancing gastric motility, thereby facilitating the movement of food through the digestive tract.

The synergistic effect of these two drugs provides comprehensive relief for various upper gastrointestinal disorders. The PPI effectively controls acid secretion, alleviating symptoms such as heartburn and acid regurgitation, while Domperidone helps to reduce nausea, vomiting, bloating, and discomfort by improving gastric emptying. This combination is particularly beneficial for patients experiencing both acid reflux symptoms and impaired gastric motility, leading to improved symptom control and quality of life.
