Akums Drugs & Pharmaceuticals Ltd. on Monday announced that it has launched Rabeprazole + Levosulpiride SR Capsules. Approved by the Drug Controller General of India (DCGI), the company claims this new formulation aims to enhance relief for patients suffering from gastrointestinal tract (GIT) disorders.
GERD, or gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, is a debilitating condition characterised by the reflux of stomach contents into the oesophagus, leading to troublesome symptoms and potential complications. With GERD often dubbed as chronic acid reflux, its prolonged presence not only impacts the quality of life but also poses risks of serious health complications, including stomach and esophageal cancer.
“Rabeprazole sodium, a potent antisecretory compound, selectively inhibits gastric acid secretion by targeting the H+ and K+ ATPase at the surface of gastric parietal cells. It has demonstrated efficacy in treating gastric and duodenal ulcers, as well as GERD. Complementing rabeprazole, Levosulpiride, the levo-enantiomer of sulpiride, exhibits significant central antidopaminergic activity and antiemetic effects,” the company said in a statement.
