Domperidone (30mg SR), Rabeprazole (40mg) & RABISTRUM DSR 40 : Tablet - Steris Healthcare PVT LTD………

May 25, 2024

RABISTRUM DSR 40 is an enteric-coated, delayed-release capsule containing the combination of domperidone and rabeprazole. This prescription medicine is commonly prescribed by healthcare professionals for the management of acid-related gastrointestinal conditions where excess stomach acid and impaired gastric motility occur together. The dual-action formulation helps reduce gastric acid secretion while supporting normal stomach emptying.

The delayed-release technology protects the active ingredients until they reach the appropriate part of the digestive system, helping ensure effective delivery. As a prescription medicine, RABISTRUM DSR 40 should always be taken exactly as directed by a qualified medical practitioner.

Manufactured under WHO-GMP certified quality standards and marketed by Steris Healthcare Pvt. Ltd., the product is intended to meet recognized pharmaceutical manufacturing requirements.

How Domperidone and Rabeprazole Work

RABISTRUM DSR 40 combines two medicines with different mechanisms of action.

Rabeprazole belongs to the proton pump inhibitor (PPI) class. It works by reducing the amount of acid produced in the stomach, which can help promote healing of acid-related conditions and relieve symptoms associated with excess stomach acid.

Domperidone is a prokinetic medicine that helps improve stomach motility and supports the movement of food through the digestive tract. It may also help reduce symptoms such as nausea and vomiting when prescribed for appropriate conditions.

Together, these medicines provide a complementary approach for selected gastrointestinal disorders when recommended by a healthcare professional.

Common Uses

Doctors may prescribe Domperidone + Rabeprazole capsules for appropriate patients with conditions such as:

  • Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
  • Acid reflux

  • Gastritis (in appropriate clinical situations)
  • Peptic ulcer disease (as determined by a physician)
  • Dyspepsia (indigestion)

The exact indication, dose, and duration depend on the patient's medical condition and the treating physician's judgment.
