Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Check the dosage form and strength:

Uses

VELOZ M CAPSULE is used in the treatment of Gastro Esophageal reflux disease (GERD), Heartburn, Hyperacidity, and Stomach ulcer. The detailed uses of VELOZ M CAPSULE are as follows:

  • Treatment of Acid Reflux and Indigestion: VELOZ M CAPSULE is primarily used to relieve symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), heartburn, and indigestion. It combines two active ingredients that work synergistically to reduce stomach acid and improve digestive motility.
  • Dual-Action Gastrointestinal Relief: VELOZ M CAPSULE contains Rabeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor that suppresses acid production in the stomach, and Mosapride, a prokinetic agent that enhances movement of food through the digestive tract. Together, they help alleviate bloating, nausea, and abdominal discomfort.

Medicinal Benefits

VELOZ M CAPSULE belongs to a group of gastrointestinal agents used to treat gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD). VELOZ M CAPSULE is a combination of two drugs: Rabeprazole (proton pump inhibitor) and Mosapride (prokinetic agent). Rabeprazole works by blocking an enzyme called the gastric proton pump, which is responsible for acid production. Mosapride works by accelerating the gastric emptying time, increasing the food pipe, intestine, and stomach movement. It also increases the inferior oesophageal (food pipe) sphincter pressure, thereby preventing the backflow of food and acid into the mouth. Besides this, it also facilitates the intestine's movement, thereby increasing the frequency of bowel movements, softening stools, and reducing abdominal discomfort and pain. Mosapride enhanced the acid-inhibitory effect of PPIs such as Rabeprazole. Collectively, VELOZ M CAPSULE helps prevent acid reflux, thereby providing relief from acidity, heartburn, and dyspepsia (indigestion and abdominal pain).
