NOGACID D CAPSULE 15'S

How NOGACID D CAPSULE 15'S Works

• NOGACID D CAPSULE 15'S is a combination medicine used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcers by reducing acidity, relieving symptoms like heartburn, acid indigestion, and stomach discomfort. It contains two active ingredients: Rabeprazole and Domperidone. Rabeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that works by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach. Domperidone is a prokinetic agent that helps to speed up the emptying of the stomach and prevent acid reflux.
• Rabeprazole's mechanism involves specifically blocking the hydrogen-potassium ATPase enzyme system (the 'proton pump') of the gastric parietal cell. By inhibiting this final step in acid production, rabeprazole effectively reduces gastric acidity. This helps to heal ulcers, reduce inflammation in the esophagus, and relieve symptoms associated with GERD.
• Domperidone works by blocking dopamine receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) of the brain and in the gastrointestinal tract. The CTZ is responsible for triggering nausea and vomiting. By blocking dopamine receptors in this area, domperidone reduces nausea and vomiting. In the GI tract, domperidone increases peristalsis (the movement of food through the digestive system) and promotes gastric emptying. This prevents acid from backing up into the esophagus, reducing heartburn and other reflux symptoms. The synergistic action of rabeprazole reducing acid production and domperidone promoting gastric emptying and reducing nausea provides comprehensive relief in GERD and peptic ulcer conditions.
