Albis-DSR Capsule - Uses, Price, Side Effects
What is albis-dsr capsule used for?
Albis-DSR Capsule is a combination medicine containing Domperidone (30mg) and Rabeprazole (20mg). It is used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), acidity, and heartburn. Domperidone helps control nausea and vomiting by blocking dopamine receptors, while Rabeprazole reduces stomach acid production by inhibiting the proton pump. Together, they provide relief from acid-related discomfort and improve digestive motility.
