REKOOL-D 40MG CAPSULE

Uses and Benefits of REKOOL-D 40MG CAPSULE (Rabeprazole 40mg + Domperidone 30mg)

This combination medicine is mainly prescribed for acid-related digestive problems along with symptoms of poor stomach emptying such as nausea, bloating, and vomiting.

WHAT THIS MEDICINE IS USED FOR

• Acidity and heartburn caused by acid reflux (GERD)
• Stomach ulcers and duodenal ulcers linked to excess acid
• Nausea, vomiting, bloating, and early fullness related to slow stomach emptying
• Relief of indigestion symptoms when acid and motility problems occur together

HOW IT WORKS

• Rabeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that reduces the amount of acid produced by the stomach lining
• Domperidone helps the stomach and intestines move food forward faster, reducing nausea, vomiting, and bloating
