How Razo D Capsule SR works
Domperidone acts on the upper digestive tract, encouraging stomach contents to move forward more efficiently and easing nausea and bloating. Rabeprazole, a proton-pump inhibitor, reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach. Used together, they target both the acid and motility aspects of reflux symptoms.
