Asidita 30mg/20mg Capsule SR Patient Guide

Overview

Welcome to the Asidita 30mg/20mg Capsule SR patient guide. Asidita is a prescription medication manufactured by Truecure Healthcare Private Limited, designed to promote general health. This guide will provide you with essential information about the medication, its uses, and what to expect during treatment.

Uses

Asidita 30mg/20mg Capsule SR is a combination medication that contains Domperidone (30mg) and Rabeprazole (20mg). Domperidone is an anti-emetic and prokinetic agent, while Rabeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). This combination is used to treat various gastrointestinal symptoms, including:

• Nausea and vomiting
• Heartburn and acid reflux
• Dyspepsia (indigestion)
• Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)

Mechanism of Action

Domperidone works by blocking the action of dopamine in the brain, which helps to alleviate nausea and vomiting. Rabeprazole, on the other hand, reduces the production of stomach acid by inhibiting the proton pump in the stomach lining. This helps to prevent acid reflux and reduce inflammation in the esophagus.

Dosage

Asidita 30mg/20mg Capsule SR is available in a sustained-release (SR) formulation, which allows for once-daily dosing. The recommended dosage is one capsule per day, taken with food. However, your doctor may adjust the dosage based on your individual needs and response to treatment.
