About RYBEZOLE-DSR

Rabeprazole Sodium and Domperidone Capsules are a combination medication commonly used to treat conditions related to acid reflux, gastritis, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)  especially when symptoms include acidity, bloating, nausea, and heartburn.

Heres a detailed overview

Each capsule typically contains:

• Rabeprazole Sodium  20 mg (or 10 mg)
  A proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces acid production in the stomach.

• Domperidone  30 mg (usually in a sustained-release form)
  A prokinetic and antiemetic agent that helps move food through the stomach faster and prevents nausea.

This combination is prescribed for:

• Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

• Peptic ulcers (stomach and duodenal)

• Dyspepsia (indigestion)

• Gastritis

• Nausea and vomiting related to acid reflux

• Rabeprazole blocks the enzyme responsible for acid secretion in the stomach, providing long-lasting acid suppression.

• Domperidone increases the movement of the stomach and intestines, helping relieve bloating, early satiety, and nausea.

• Usually taken once daily, before food (preferably in the morning).

• Do not chew or crush the capsule swallow it whole with water.

• Always follow your doctors specific dosage and duration.

• Headache

• Dizziness

• Dry mouth

• Abdominal pain or diarrhea

• Mild nausea

• Rare: long-term use may lead to vitamin B12 deficiency or low magnesium (due to PPI use)

• Not advised during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless prescribed.

• Avoid in patients with severe liver disease or prolonged QT interval (heart rhythm condition).

• Long-term or unnecessary use of PPIs should be avoided.
