Ripgas-LSR

General information

Working and uses of RIPGAS-LSR:- 

RIPGAS-LSR belongs to a group of medicines called gastrointestinal agents used to treat gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), acidity, heartburn, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, Helicobacter pylori infection, irritable bowel syndrome, indigestion, duodenal and gastric ulcers. The stomach is usually protected from acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excess acid production, the mucous layer gets eroded, which leads to acidity. 

Rabeprazole (proton pump inhibitor) works by blocking an enzyme, called the gastric proton pump, which is responsible for acid production. 

Levosulpiride (prokinetic agent) works by increasing the pressure of the inferior oesophageal (food pipe) sphincter, thereby preventing the backflow of food and acid into the mouth. 

Together they help in preventing acid reflux, thereby providing relief from acidity and heartburn.
