How BrandName works
Rabeprazole works by blocking the acid pumps in the stomach so less acid is made, while domperidone helps the stomach muscles push food down faster. Together they reduce burning, indigestion, and nausea by lowering acid and improving movement. This makes food digest more smoothly and prevents acid from flowing back into the food pipe.
