Description
Razo-D Capsule SR is a combination medication commonly used for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), also known as acid reflux, and peptic ulcer disease. It works by relieving the symptoms associated with acidity, such as heartburn, stomach pain, irritation, and discomfort, and helps reduce stomach acid production.
Key Ingredients:
- Domperidone (30mg): A prokinetic agent that helps to increase the movement of the stomach and intestines, facilitating the easier passage of food and gas through the digestive system.
- Rabeprazole (20mg): A proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces the production of stomach acid, thus providing relief from acid-related indigestion, heartburn, and irritation.
Key Benefits:
- Reduces Acid Production: Rabeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, helps decrease the amount of acid your stomach produces, thereby relieving symptoms of heartburn, acid reflux, and discomfort caused by excessive acid.
- Promotes Gastrointestinal Movement: Domperidone enhances gastric motility, which allows food and gas to pass more easily through the stomach, helping to relieve bloating and gas buildup.
- Relieves GERD Symptoms: It is effective in treating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a chronic condition that leads to excess acid in the stomach, causing discomfort, heartburn, and indigestion.
- Helps in Peptic Ulcer Treatment: It also assists in healing peptic ulcers by reducing stomach acid and promoting better gastrointestinal motility.
Uses:
- Treatment of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): GERD is a long-term condition where stomach acid frequently flows back into the esophagus, causing irritation, heartburn, and discomfort. Razo-D Capsule SR helps control this acid reflux by reducing stomach acid production and improving digestive motility.
- Treatment of Peptic Ulcer Disease: Peptic ulcers occur when there are open sores on the inner lining of the stomach or intestines. The medication helps reduce stomach acid and promotes the healing of these ulcers.
Side Effects:
Most side effects are temporary and resolve with time, but you should consult your doctor if any of them persist or become bothersome:
- Common side effects:
- Diarrhea
- Stomach pain
- Dryness in the mouth
- Headache
- Flatulence
- Weakness
- Dizziness and sleepiness (avoid activities that require mental focus, such as driving)
How to Use Razo-D Capsule SR:
- Dosage: Follow your doctor’s prescribed dosage. Generally, it should be taken on an empty stomach, usually once a day.
- Administration: Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, crush, or break the capsule.
- Duration: Continue the medication as prescribed by your doctor. Do not stop treatment prematurely, as this could cause your symptoms to return.
How Razo-D Capsule SR Works:
- Domperidone: Increases motility in the upper gastrointestinal tract, making it easier for food and gas to move through the stomach and intestines, reducing bloating and discomfort.
- Rabeprazole: A proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that decreases the amount of acid produced in the stomach, providing relief from the symptoms of acid reflux, heartburn, and indigestion.
