Peptard D capsule contains a combination of rabeprazole and domperidone, an anti-reflux medicine as its active ingredient. It is used to treat Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) also known as aci

This medicine lowers the acid secretion in the stomach and prevents the outflow of contents of the stomach to the food pipe. Peptard D capsule should be taken at least 30 minutes before meals for the best result. Avoid the consumption of spicy and oily food while on this medicine.
