ESPRA DSR CAPSULE 10'S

How ESPRA DSR CAPSULE 10'S Works

• ESPRA DSR CAPSULE 10'S is a combination medicine used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcers. It effectively reduces stomach acid production, relieving symptoms like heartburn, acid reflux, and indigestion. The capsule contains two active ingredients: Esomeprazole and Domperidone, which work synergistically to provide relief.
• Esomeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), works by blocking the enzyme (H+/K+-ATPase) responsible for producing stomach acid. It specifically targets the parietal cells in the stomach lining, which secrete hydrochloric acid. By inhibiting this enzyme, esomeprazole significantly reduces the amount of acid released into the stomach. This helps to heal ulcers, prevent new ones from forming, and alleviate the discomfort associated with acid reflux.
• Domperidone is a prokinetic agent that enhances the movement of food through the digestive tract. It works by blocking dopamine receptors in the upper digestive system. Dopamine can slow down gastric emptying, which can lead to food sitting in the stomach for longer periods and increase the risk of acid reflux. By blocking dopamine, domperidone accelerates gastric emptying and strengthens the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), the muscular valve that prevents stomach acid from flowing back into the esophagus. This helps to reduce nausea, vomiting, and the backward flow of stomach acid.
• The combined action of esomeprazole and domperidone provides comprehensive relief from GERD and peptic ulcer symptoms. Esomeprazole reduces acid production, while domperidone facilitates gastric emptying and prevents acid reflux. This combination helps to heal ulcers, reduce inflammation in the esophagus, and alleviate symptoms like heartburn, regurgitation, and abdominal discomfort. ESPRA DSR CAPSULE 10'S is generally taken before meals to maximize its effectiveness.
