Description
Rabeprazole sodium (EC) and domperidone (SR) capsules are a combination medication that works in two ways to treat gastrointestinal conditions. Rabeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach by inhibiting the proton pump in the acid-secreting cells. This helps to alleviate symptoms such as heartburn, acid reflux and bloating. Domperidone is a dopamine antagonist that blocks dopamine receptors in the brain and gut, leading to increased gut motility and reduced nausea and vomiting. The combination medication can provide relief for symptoms associated with gastroesophageal reflux diseases (GERD), such as heartburn, acid reflux, bloating, nausea, and vomiting. It can also be used to treat other conditions related to excess stomach acids production, such as peptic ulcers and dyspepsia. The medication is particularly useful for patients who experience both acid-related symptoms and motility disorders of the upper digestive tract, such as delayed gastric emptying. Common side effects of rabeprazole sodium and domperidone capsules include headache, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, and dry mouth. Rare but serious side effects can include allergic reactions, liver problems, and irregular heartbeat. Patients should contact their healthcare provider immediately if they experience any severe or unusual symptoms. The dosage and administration instructions for rabeprazole sodium (EC) and domperidone (SR) capsules should be followed as prescribed by the healthcare provider. The medication is typically taken orally, usually before meals, and patients should not exceed the recommended dose. It is important to take the medication regularly and complete the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve.
