Introduction
Rabipride DSR 30mg/40mg Capsule is a combination medicine used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (Acid reflux).

It is important to consult your doctor if you experience persistent symptoms or side effects.
Directions for Use

How it works
Rabipride DSR 30mg/40mg Capsule is a combination of two medicines: Domperidone and Rabeprazole. Domperidone is a prokinetic which works on the upper digestive tract to increase the movement of the stomach and intestines, allowing the food to move more easily through the stomach. Rabeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) which works by reducing the amount of acid in the stomach, helping in the relief of acid-related indigestion and heartburn.
Quick Tips
You have been prescribed Rabipride DSR 30mg/40mg Capsule for the treatment of acidity and heartburn. Take it one hour before the meal, preferably in the morning. It is a well-tolerated medicine and provides relief for a long time. Inform your doctor if you get watery diarrhea, fever, or stomach pain that does not go away. Inform your doctor if you do not feel better after taking it for 14 days as you may be suffering from some other problem that needs attention. Long-term use can cause weak bones and deficiency of minerals such as magnesium. Take adequate dietary intake of calcium and magnesium or their supplements as prescribed by your doctor.
