Description
Pepcia-D Capsule SR is a prescription medicine that combines Rabeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), with Domperidone SR, a prokinetic and antiemetic medicine. This combination is commonly prescribed for patients suffering from acid reflux, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), gastritis, peptic ulcers, and persistent acidity accompanied by nausea or bloating.
Rabeprazole reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach, while Domperidone improves stomach motility, helping food move more easily through the digestive tract and reducing nausea.
