Uses:

Treatment of Hyperacidity, Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, Peptic ulcer.

Medicinal Benefits:

HSZ-IT Capsule is a combination of two drugs:  Rabeprazole and Itopride. Rabeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that works by blocking the action of an enzyme called gastric proton pump, which is responsible for acid production. It minimizes the release of acid from the stomach, which provides relief from heartburn and acid-related digestion. While Itopride works on the part of the brain responsible for controlling vomiting.  It increases gastric emptying and improves gastric sensitivity and tension by increasing the stomach's movement and intestines in the upper digestive tract. It also has anti-emetic action. Together, HSZ-IT Capsule helps prevent acid reflux, thereby relieving acidity.
