RABEZ D CAPSULE 15'S

How RABEZ D CAPSULE 15'S Works

• RABEZ D CAPSULE 15'S is a combination medication designed to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcers, conditions characterized by stomach acid flowing back into the esophagus, causing heartburn and potential damage. It contains two active ingredients: Rabeprazole and Domperidone. Each component addresses the symptoms and underlying causes through distinct mechanisms.
• Rabeprazole belongs to a class of drugs called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). PPIs work by directly reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach. The cells lining the stomach wall, known as parietal cells, contain proton pumps that are responsible for secreting hydrochloric acid (HCl), the primary component of stomach acid. Rabeprazole selectively binds to and irreversibly inhibits these proton pumps. By blocking the action of these pumps, Rabeprazole effectively decreases the production of stomach acid. This reduction in acidity helps to alleviate symptoms such as heartburn, acid regurgitation, and difficulty swallowing. It also creates an environment conducive to the healing of ulcers in the stomach and esophagus, as the reduced acidity prevents further erosion of the tissue.
• Domperidone is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs called prokinetic agents or dopamine antagonists. It primarily works by increasing the motility (movement) of the stomach and intestines. Domperidone blocks dopamine receptors in the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ), an area in the brain that signals nausea and vomiting. By blocking these receptors, Domperidone reduces nausea and vomiting. Furthermore, Domperidone enhances the contractions of the stomach, facilitating the emptying of stomach contents into the intestines more quickly. This action helps to prevent acid reflux by reducing the pressure in the stomach and minimizing the amount of time acid remains in contact with the esophagus. The combined effect of Rabeprazole reducing acid production and Domperidone promoting gastric emptying provides comprehensive relief from GERD and peptic ulcer symptoms, while also addressing the underlying causes of these conditions.
• In summary, Rabeprazole directly inhibits acid production in the stomach, while Domperidone increases the rate at which the stomach empties its contents and reduces nausea. This dual action effectively manages acid reflux, heals ulcers, and alleviates associated symptoms, promoting overall digestive health and well-being.
