Medical Description

Rabalkem-DSR capsule is an anti-reflux medicine. Rabalkem DSR is used to treat gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD). GERD is a condition in which acid from the stomach flows back to the food pipe and causes heartburn, belching, nausea and chest pain. Rabalkem-DSR capsule contains a combination of two medicines - Rabeprazole and Domperidone. It works by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach and improving the motility in the gut, thus, reducing the backflow of stomach content into the food pipe. Avoid spicy and oily food while you are on this medicine. Rabalkem DSR capsules should be taken at least 30 minutes before meals for the best results.
