REKOOL L CAP 10 S

About

REKOOL L CAP is a combination medication typically containing a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) like Rabeprazole or Omeprazole, along with a prokinetic agent such as Levosulpiride. The PPI component works by irreversibly blocking the proton pumps in the stomach lining, thereby reducing the production of gastric acid. This action is highly effective in treating conditions characterized by excessive acid secretion, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcers. Levosulpiride, on the other hand, acts as a prokinetic agent, enhancing gastrointestinal motility by increasing the release of acetylcholine in the gut.

This dual mechanism of action provides comprehensive relief for digestive disorders. The PPI reduces acid-related symptoms like heartburn and acid regurgitation, while Levosulpiride helps in faster emptying of the stomach and improves the movement of food through the digestive tract, reducing symptoms like bloating, nausea, and discomfort. This combination is particularly useful in cases where acid suppression alone is insufficient or when impaired gastric motility contributes significantly to the patient's symptoms.
