Mode of Action of Piltop Dsr Strip Of 10 Capsules
How Does It Work?
- Rabeprazole belongs to the class of medicines called proton pump inhibitors. The lining of the stomach secretes acid by certain processes that involve the intake of ions via proton pumps in the cells. Rabeprazole reduces the intake of the ions in the stomach cells that are necessary for the production of digestive acids in the stomach and hence leads to reduced acid production....
- Domperidone increases the motility of the stomach and intestines so that acid does not reflux back into the food pipe.
