How Does It Work?

• Rabekind-DSR capsule works by the combined effect of Rabeprazole and Domperidone.
• A pump called the proton pump in the stomach is responsible for the secretion of stomach acids. Rabeprazole binds to this proton pump in stomach cells, thus blocking acid secretion.
• Domperidone increases the motility of the stomach and intestines so that acid does not reflux back into the food pipe.
