Description
Rabemac-DSR Capsule is a combination medicine containing Domperidone (30mg) and Rabeprazole (20mg).
-
Rabeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces excess stomach acid.
-
Domperidone is a prokinetic agent that improves stomach emptying and prevents nausea, bloating, and vomiting.
Together, they provide effective relief from acid reflux, GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), heartburn, indigestion, and regurgitation. The dual action not only controls acidity but also relieves associated symptoms like nausea, bloating, and discomfort.
