RABEPRAZOLE SODIUM AND DOMPERIDONE

RABEPRAZOLE SODIUM AND DOMPERIDONE: Rabeprazole Sodium and Domperidone is a combination medication that is used for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and other conditions where the stomach produces excess acid.

Rabeprazole Sodium is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that works by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach. It inhibits the enzyme responsible for the final step in acid production, thereby decreasing the overall acidity of gastric secretions. This helps to relieve symptoms such as heartburn, acid regurgitation, and stomach pain caused by excessive acid.

Domperidone, on the other hand, is a dopamine antagonist that stimulates the muscles in the gastrointestinal tract, promoting faster movement and emptying of the stomach. It helps to reduce the symptoms of bloating, nausea, and vomiting associated with conditions such as GERD.

The usual recommended dose of Rabeprazole Sodium and Domperidone is one tablet taken orally, usually 30 minutes before a meal. The exact dosage may vary depending on the severity of the condition and the individual patient’s response.

Common side effects of Rabeprazole Sodium and Domperidone may include headache, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, flatulence, dizziness, and dry mouth. These side effects are usually mild and go away on their own. However, if any severe or persistent side effects occur, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
