REKOOL L CAPSULE

Uses and Benefits of REKOOL L CAPSULE (Rabeprazole 20mg + Levosulpiride 75mg)

This combination medicine is mainly used to treat acid reflux, indigestion, and related digestive symptoms caused by slow stomach emptying and excess acid.

WHAT THIS MEDICINE IS USED FOR

• Heartburn and acid reflux (GERD)
• Functional dyspepsia (indigestion without a clear cause)
• Bloating, fullness, and discomfort after meals
• Nausea or vomiting linked to slow stomach emptying

HOW IT WORKS

• Rabeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that blocks acid-producing pumps in the stomach lining, reducing acid levels
• Levosulpiride is a prokinetic agent that helps the stomach and intestines move food along faster, reducing bloating and nausea
• Together they relieve both excess acid and poor stomach emptying

WHAT IT IS NOT USED FOR

• Not a painkiller for general stomach pain unrelated to acid or motility
• Not used for infections or ulcers caused by bacteria without other treatment
• Not meant for long-term use without medical supervision
• Not a treatment for psychiatric or neurological conditions, despite Levosulpiride having some central effects
