Introduction to Eprakast DSR Capsule
Eprakast DSR Capsule is a combination medication that belongs to the proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and dopamine antagonists category containing the active ingredients Esomeprazole and Domperidone.
This drug treats conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (in which the stomach acid and contents flow back into the esophagus), peptic ulcers (a sore or erosion that forms on the stomach lining), and nausea and vomiting.
This medicine is contraindicated in people with a history of cardiac arrhythmias such as ventricular fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, or QT prolongation or in those taking medications that prolong the QT interval.
This tablet may cause side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, or vision changes in some individuals. If these effects occur, avoiding activities requiring alertness, such as driving, cycling, or operating machinery, is important until you feel better.

Therapeutic Effects of Eprakast DSR Capsule
Esomeprazole works by irreversibly binding to the proton pump and inhibiting its function. By doing so, it blocks the final step of acid production. Specifically, this drug inhibits the enzyme's ability to transport hydrogen ions (protons) into the stomach, thereby reducing gastric acid secretion. Domperidone enhances the movement and contractions of the stomach and intestines. It helps to improve gastrointestinal motility and facilitates the food to pass through the digestive part.
