ACIREST DSR CAPSULE 10'S

How ACIREST DSR CAPSULE 10'S Works

• ACIREST DSR CAPSULE 10'S is a combination medication designed to alleviate the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcers. It contains two active ingredients: Domperidone and Rabeprazole. Each component works differently to provide comprehensive relief from acid-related discomfort.
• Rabeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), is the primary component responsible for reducing acid production in the stomach. Parietal cells in the stomach lining secrete hydrochloric acid, which is essential for digestion but can cause problems when produced in excess. Rabeprazole selectively binds to and inhibits the hydrogen-potassium ATPase enzyme system (the proton pump) in these parietal cells. By blocking this enzyme, Rabeprazole effectively reduces the amount of acid released into the stomach. This action helps to heal existing ulcers, prevent new ones from forming, and alleviate symptoms such as heartburn, acid regurgitation, and difficulty swallowing. Rabeprazole's effects are long-lasting, providing sustained acid control throughout the day.
• Domperidone, the second active ingredient, is a prokinetic agent. It primarily works by blocking dopamine receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) of the brain, which is involved in initiating nausea and vomiting. By blocking these receptors, Domperidone reduces feelings of nausea and the urge to vomit. Furthermore, Domperidone enhances gastric motility, which means it helps to speed up the emptying of the stomach. This is particularly beneficial in GERD, where delayed gastric emptying can contribute to acid reflux. By promoting faster gastric emptying, Domperidone reduces the amount of time acid remains in the stomach, decreasing the likelihood of it refluxing into the esophagus.
• The synergistic action of Rabeprazole and Domperidone provides a multi-pronged approach to managing acid-related disorders. Rabeprazole reduces acid production, while Domperidone helps to control nausea, vomiting, and promotes gastric emptying. Together, they address both the cause and the symptoms of GERD and peptic ulcers, resulting in effective relief and improved quality of life for patients. The delayed-release formulation of ACIREST DSR CAPSULE 10'S ensures that Rabeprazole is protected from stomach acid, allowing it to be absorbed efficiently in the small intestine for optimal effect. It's important to take this medication as prescribed by your doctor to achieve the best possible outcome.
