Medical Description
Rabekind DSR is a combination medicine containing rabeprazole and domperidone, and it is used to treat acid reflux disease. It works by alleviating acid-related symptoms like heartburn, stomach pain, and irritation. It also neutralises acid and improves gas flow, hence reducing stomach discomfort.
GERD is a condition in which acid from the stomach comes back up to the food pipe and causes heartburn, belching, nausea and chest pain. Rabekind-DSR works by decreasing the amount of acid produced in the stomach. Thereby improving the mortality in the gut and reducing the backflow of stomach content to the food pipe.
Along with taking medicine on time, making certain lifestyle modifications can help to manage your acidity problem better. Try eating smaller meals, eating slowly avoiding overeating and lying down immediately after having a meal. Limit your intake of alcohol, avoid smoking and maintain a healthy weight. Consult the doctor to understand what works best for you. Some other capsules containing rabeprazole and domperidone are Razo D capsule, Cyra D capsule, Rabesec DSR capsule, and Rabium DSR capsule.
Take Rabekind DSR at least 30 minutes before breakfast. This capsule should not be used in children below 12 years of age. Before using the Rabekind DSR capsule, inform the doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding and about your detailed medical history.
