**Treatment of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)** Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic condition characterized by excessive stomach acid production. Douxrab-DSR Capsule helps reduce this acid production and alleviates the discomfort associated with heartburn and acid reflux. It’s important to take it exactly as prescribed for optimal effectiveness. Additionally, implementing certain lifestyle changes can help mitigate GERD symptoms. Identify foods that trigger heartburn and avoid them, consume smaller, more frequent meals, work on weight loss if necessary, and explore relaxation techniques. Avoid eating within 3-4 hours before bedtime. **Treatment of Peptic Ulcer Disease** Peptic ulcer disease occurs when painful sores or ulcers form in the inner lining of the stomach or intestines. Douxrab-DSR Capsule decreases stomach acid production, which aids in preventing further damage to the ulcer as it naturally heals. Depending on the cause of the ulcer, you may be prescribed other medications in conjunction with Douxrab-DSR. It is essential to continue taking the medication as directed, even if symptoms improve, to ensure effective treatment.
Douxrab-DSR Capsule is a combination medication used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (acid reflux) and peptic ulcer disease. It alleviates symptoms of acidity, such as heartburn, stomach pain, and irritation, while also neutralizing stomach acid and facilitating the passage of gas to relieve discomfort. This medication is typically taken without food, in accordance with your doctor’s prescribed dosage and duration. The dosage will be determined by your specific condition and your response to treatment. It is important to continue taking the medicine for as long as recommended by your doctor, as discontinuing it too early may lead to a resurgence of symptoms or the worsening of your condition. Make sure to inform your healthcare provider of all other medications you are currently taking, as some may interact with this drug. Common side effects may include diarrhea, stomach pain, dry mouth, headache, gas, and weakness; these are usually temporary and resolve over time. If you have any concerns about side effects, contact your doctor promptly. This medication may cause dizziness and sleepiness, so avoid driving or performing tasks that require mental alertness until you understand how it affects you. It is advisable to avoid alcohol while on this medication, as it can increase drowsiness. In addition, lifestyle changes such as consuming cold milk and steering clear of hot beverages, spicy foods, or chocolate may enhance your results. Prior to starting this medication, inform your doctor if you have any kidney or liver conditions. Also, disclose if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
Douxrab-DSR Capsule is a combination of two medicines: Domperidone and Rabeprazole.

Rabeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) which works by reducing the amount of acid in the stomach which helps in the relief of acid-related indigestion and heartburn.
