Overview

Rd capsule is a combination medication used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), commonly known as acid reflux. It helps relieve symptoms of acidity, such as heartburn, stomach pain, and irritation. Rd capsule neutralises stomach acid and promotes the easy passage of gas, which can reduce stomach discomfort.

Take Rd capsule without food, following the dosage and duration prescribed by your doctor. The prescribed dose will depend on your individual condition and your response to the medication. It is important to continue taking this medicine for as long as your doctor recommends.

Stopping treatment prematurely may cause your symptoms to return or worsen. Common side effects of Rd capsule may include diarrhoea, stomach pain, dry mouth, headache, gas, and weakness. Most of these side effects are temporary and typically resolve over time.

Contact your doctor immediately if you have any concerns about these side effects. Making certain lifestyle changes can also promote better results, such as consuming cold milk and avoiding hot tea, coffee, spicy foods, or chocolate. Before starting this medication, inform your doctor if you have any kidney or liver conditions.

It is also essential to let your doctor know if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Rabeprazole belongs to the class of medicines called proton pump inhibitors. The lining of the stomach secretes acid by certain processes that involve the intake of ions via a proton pump in the cells. Rabeprazole reduces the intake of the ions in the stomach cells that are necessary for the production of digestive acids in the stomach and hence leads to reduced acid production.Read less
Domperidone increases the motility of the stomach and intestines so that acid does not reflux back into the food pipe.
