Product Introduction

Parit D 20mg Capsule is a combination medication containing Rabeprazole and Domperidone, belonging to the proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and dopamine antagonists category. It is used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (in which stomach acid and contents flow back into the oesophagus), peptic ulcers (a sore or erosion that forms on the stomach lining), and nausea and vomiting.

This medicine is contraindicated in patients with a history of cardiac arrhythmias such as ventricular fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, or QT prolongation, or in those taking medications that prolong the QT interval. Parit D 20mg Capsule may cause side effects including dizziness, drowsiness, or vision changes in some individuals. If these effects occur, avoid activities requiring alertness, such as driving, cycling, or operating machinery, until you feel better.

Long-term use of this medicine may result in low magnesium levels in the body (hypomagnesemia). Symptoms of low magnesium levels include fatigue, muscle spasms or weakness, irregular heartbeat, and seizures. If you develop any of these symptoms, notify your doctor immediately. Discuss use of Parit D 20mg Capsule with your physician if you are pregnant, suspecting pregnancy, or breastfeeding.

Uses

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) Peptic Ulcer Treats Nausea and Vomiting

How it works

Rabeprazole works by irreversibly binding to the proton pump and inhibiting its function. By doing so, it blocks the final step of acid production. Specifically, this drug inhibits the enzyme's ability to transport hydrogen ions (protons) into the stomach, thereby reducing gastric acid secretion. Domperidone enhances the movement and contractions of the stomach and intestines. It helps to improve gastrointestinal motility and facilitates the food to pass through the digestive part.

How to Use

Take the Parit D 20mg Capsule as your physician advises. Usually, the capsules will be taken with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or open the medicine. Your physician will decide the correct dosage and duration based on age, body weight, and disease condition. Only stop taking the capsule if your doctor advises you to stop.

Side Effects

Expert Tips

Take the Parit D 20mg Capsule, exactly as your physician prescribes. Do not change the dose or stop taking the medication without consulting your doctor first.

Consider elevating the head of your bed to help reduce nighttime acid reflux.
