PAXITUS DSR CAPSULE 10'S

How PAXITUS DSR CAPSULE 10'S Works

• PAXITUS DSR CAPSULE 10'S is a combination medication designed to alleviate symptoms associated with acid reflux and peptic ulcers. It combines a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), which reduces stomach acid production, with a prokinetic agent, which enhances gastric emptying. This dual action provides comprehensive relief from heartburn, acid regurgitation, and abdominal discomfort.
• The active ingredients in PAXITUS DSR CAPSULE 10'S work synergistically to address the underlying causes of acid-related disorders. The PPI component, typically a drug like Domperidone, functions by irreversibly blocking the hydrogen-potassium ATPase enzyme system, also known as the proton pump, in the parietal cells of the stomach lining. This enzyme is responsible for the final step in gastric acid production. By inhibiting this pump, the PPI effectively reduces the amount of acid secreted into the stomach lumen.
• Domperidone, the prokinetic agent, works by blocking dopamine receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) of the brain and in the gastrointestinal tract. The CTZ is involved in triggering nausea and vomiting. By blocking dopamine receptors in the CTZ, domperidone helps to reduce feelings of nausea. Furthermore, domperidone increases the motility of the stomach and intestines, speeding up gastric emptying and preventing acid from refluxing back into the esophagus. This action helps to relieve bloating, fullness, and discomfort after meals.
• The combined effect of reduced acid production and enhanced gastric emptying is crucial in managing acid reflux and peptic ulcers. Lowering stomach acid levels helps to heal existing ulcers and prevent new ones from forming. Faster gastric emptying reduces the amount of time acid remains in the stomach, minimizing the risk of acid reflux into the esophagus. This helps to soothe inflammation and prevent further damage to the esophageal lining.
