R TAK DSR
Composition:
Rabeprazole Sodium 20mg (EC) and Domperidone 30 mg (SR)
R TAK Dsr is a combination medication often prescribed to treat gastrointestinal disorders, especially conditions related to excessive acid production and issues with gastric motility.
Here’s a breakdown of each component:
1. Rabeprazole Sodium (EC)
- Formulation: EC stands for enteric-coated, which means the rabeprazole is protected by a coating that prevents it from being dissolved by stomach acid, ensuring it reaches the intestine before being absorbed.
- Class: Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI)
- Mechanism: Rabeprazole works by inhibiting the proton pump in the stomach lining, which reduces the production of stomach acid. This helps in conditions where acid erosion or irritation occurs.
- Uses:
- Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
- Peptic Ulcer Disease
- Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome.
2. Domperidone SR
- Formulation: SR stands for sustained-release, meaning the drug is released slowly over time for prolonged action.
- Class: Dopamine Antagonist (Prokinetic agent)
- Mechanism: Domperidone works by blocking dopamine receptors in the gastrointestinal tract, which enhances the movement of the stomach and intestines, aiding in better digestion and reducing nausea and vomiting.
- Uses:
- Relief of symptoms like nausea, vomiting, bloating, and discomfort due to delayed gastric emptying.
- Improves motility in conditions like GERD when used with PPIs.
