Composition

• Rabeprazole Sodium IP — 20 mg: a proton pump inhibitor that reduces stomach acid production.
• Domperidone IP — 30 mg SR: a sustained-release medicine that influences upper digestive tract movement and may help relieve nausea.

SR means sustained release. Confirm the exact formulation and instructions from the product packaging or package insert.

Product Introduction

This combination works through two different mechanisms: reducing stomach acid and influencing upper digestive tract movement. A clinician may consider it for selected patients with gastroesophageal reflux symptoms when the combination is suitable.

It is not appropriate for everyone with acidity, indigestion or nausea. Domperidone has important safety restrictions, so the need for both ingredients should be assessed by the prescriber.

Uses of RABKAND DSR Capsules

• May be prescribed for selected cases of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
• May help manage acid-related heartburn and regurgitation when appropriate.
• May be considered when reflux symptoms occur alongside nausea or related upper digestive symptoms.

These are general uses of the ingredients, not a diagnosis or recommendation for self-treatment. Suitability depends on individual medical assessment.

Potential Benefits

• Rabeprazole reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach.
• Domperidone can influence upper digestive tract movement and may help relieve nausea in selected situations.
• The combination may help manage specific reflux symptoms when appropriately prescribed.

Results vary between individuals. This medicine does not treat every cause of abdominal discomfort, nausea or indigestion.

Possible Side Effects

Possible side effects include headache, abdominal discomfort, diarrhoea, dry mouth or other digestive symptoms. Domperidone may also cause hormonal effects, including breast tenderness or milk discharge.

Serious warning: Domperidone can increase the risk of abnormal heart rhythms, which can rarely be life-threatening. Seek urgent medical care for a fast or irregular heartbeat, fainting or unexplained loss of consciousness.

How to Use

• Take only at the dose and for the duration prescribed by a qualified healthcare professional.
• Follow the product label or pharmacist's instructions about timing in relation to meals.
• Swallow the capsule whole with water. Do not crush or chew the sustained-release contents.
• Do not take an extra capsule to make up for a missed dose. Ask a pharmacist or prescriber for advice if unsure.

Do not start, extend or repeat treatment without professional advice.

How It Works

Rabeprazole

Rabeprazole inhibits the stomach's proton pump, reducing gastric acid secretion and helping manage acid-related symptoms.

Domperidone

Domperidone acts on dopamine receptors and influences upper gastrointestinal movement. It may help with nausea but can also affect the heart's electrical rhythm.

Safety Advice

• Tell your doctor if you have heart disease, an irregular heartbeat, a prolonged QT interval, significant electrolyte abnormalities or liver problems.
• Inform your healthcare professional about all medicines and supplements you take, especially those that affect heart rhythm or interact with domperidone.
• Domperidone may be unsuitable with certain antibiotics, antifungals and other interacting medicines.
• Older adults may have a higher risk of serious heart-related adverse effects.
• Discuss pregnancy or breastfeeding with your clinician before using this combination.
• Seek medical advice if symptoms persist, worsen or recur frequently.
