Ripgas-DSR

General information

Working and uses of RIPGAS-DSR Capsule:- 

RIPGAS-DSR is a gastrointestinal medicine composed of Rabeprazole (stomach acid reducer) and Domperidone (nausea,vomiting reducer). Together they reduce the amount of acid your stomach makes and decrease the symptoms of nausea and vomiting. It treats symptoms of acid reflux due to hyperacidity, stomach ulcer, and Zollinger Ellison syndrome (overproduction of acid due to a pancreatic tumour). 

Besides this, it is used short term to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms.GERD is a condition in which the sphincter (valve) located at the upper most part of the stomach gets irritated and damaged due to excessive stomach acid production. As a result the stomach acid flows back into the food pipe, leading to stomach upset and heartburn. 

The Rabeprazole in this capsule is a proton pump inhibitor that helps to reduce stomach acid by blocking the actions of an enzyme. This gastric proton pump lies in the cells of the stomach wall. It is responsible for releasing gastric acid, secretion, and damaging tissues in the food pipe, stomach and duodenum (upper most part of the small intestine). 

The Domperidone is a prokinetic agent that increases the motility of the above gastrointestinal tract and blocks the vomiting inducing centre.
