Enteric Coated Rabeprazole Sodium & Domperidone (SR) Capsules
Description:
This is a combination medication containing two active ingredientsr:
- Rabeprazole Sodium – A proton pump inhibitor (PPI) with enteric coating to prevent degradation in stomach acid.
- Domperidone (Sustained-Release, SR) – A dopamine antagonist that acts as a prokinetic agent to enhance gastric motility.
Uses:

- Acid-related disorders (peptic ulcers, gastritis, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome)
- Dyspepsia (indigestion, bloating, nausea)
- Gastroparesis (delayed gastric emptying)
Mechanism of Action:
- Rabeprazole Sodium: Inhibits gastric acid secretion by blocking the H+/K+ ATPase enzyme in stomach parietal cells.
- Domperidone (SR): Blocks dopamine D2 receptors, enhancing gastrointestinal motility and preventing nausea/vomiting.
Dosage & Administration:
