Miracid Capsule is used to treat symptoms of acid reflux due to hyperacidity, stomach ulcer (Peptic ulcer disease), and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (overproduction of acid due to a pancreatic tumour). Besides this, it is used short-term to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms. It contains Rabeprazole and Domperidone, which helps reduce stomach acid and increases the motility of the upper gastrointestinal tract and blocks the vomiting-inducing centre (chemoreceptor trigger zone-CTZ). In adults, it may cause common side effects such as headache, diarrhoea, nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, flatulence, dizziness, and arthralgia (joint pain). In the case of children, it may cause side effects such as upper respiratory tract infections, headache, fever, diarrhoea, vomiting, rash, and abdominal pain.

About Miracid Capsule

Miracid Capsule is used to treat symptoms of acid reflux due to hyperacidity, stomach ulcer (Peptic ulcer disease), and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (overproduction of acid due to a pancreatic tumour). Besides this, it is used short-term to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) symptoms. GERD is a condition in which the sphincter (valve) located at the uppermost part of the stomach gets irritated and damaged due to excessive stomach acid production. As a result, the stomach acid and juice flow back into the food pipe, leading to stomach upset and heartburn. Heartburn is the post-effect of acid reflux with a burning-like feeling that rises from the stomach towards the neck.

Miracid Capsule contains two medicines, namely Rabeprazole and Domperidone. Rabeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that helps reduce stomach acid by blocking the actions of an enzyme (H+/K+ ATPase or gastric proton pump). This gastric proton pump lies in the cells of the stomach wall. It is responsible for releasing gastric acid secretion and damaging tissues in the food pipe, stomach, and duodenum (uppermost part of the small intestine). On the other hand, Domperidone is a prokinetic agent that increases the motility of the upper gastrointestinal tract and blocks the vomiting-inducing centre (chemoreceptor trigger zone-CTZ).

It is better to take Miracid Capsule an hour before a meal or without a meal for its best results. Miracid Capsule should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, crush, or break it. You should keep taking this medicine for as long as your doctor recommends. If you stop treatment too early, your symptoms may come back, and your condition may worsen. An adult taking Miracid Capsule might have common side effects like headache, diarrhoea, nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, flatulence, dizziness, and arthralgia (joint pain). In the case of children taking Miracid Capsule , they might report upper respiratory tract infections (URI), headache, fever, diarrhoea, vomiting, rash, and abdominal pain. These side effects are temporary and may resolve after some time; however, if this persists, contact the doctor.

You can increase the efficacy of Miracid Capsule by taking a small meal or snacks frequently. Avoid caffeine-containing beverages (coffee, tea), spicy/deep-fried/processed foods, carbonated drinks, and acidic foods like citrus fruits/vegetables (tomatoes). Tell your doctor if you have stomach or intestinal cancer, liver problems, are allergic to Miracid Capsule or will have an endoscopy in the future. Prolonged intake of Miracid Capsule may cause a deficiency of Vitamin B-12 and low levels of calcium, magnesium, and Vitamin D, leading to osteoporosis (brittle or weak bones).

Uses of Miracid Capsule

Miracid Capsule is used in the treatment of acid reflux symptoms caused by peptic ulcer, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (overproduction of acid due to a pancreatic tumour) and gastro-esophagal reflux disease (GERD). The detailed uses of Miracid Capsule are as follows:
• Support Digestive Health: Miracid Capsule help alleviate digestive discomfort, promoting a balanced and regular digestive system.
• Reduce Gastrointestinal Disorders: Miracid Capsule provide relief from various gastrointestinal issues, such as gas, bloating, and irregular bowel movements.
• Relieve Indigestion: Miracid Capsule offers quick relief from indigestion and related symptoms, soothing the stomach and enhancing overall comfort.

Directions for Use

Swallow it as a whole with water; do not crush, break or chew it.

Medicinal Benefits

Miracid Capsule helps in reducing the excess amount of stomach. In turn, it prevents the formation of an ulcer in the upper part of the intestine (duodenal ulcer), gastro-esophagal reflux disease (GERD) with or without ulcer and Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome, in which the stomach makes exceptionally high amounts of acid. Besides, the Miracid Capsule also treats symptoms of nausea and vomiting in adults and children over 12 years of age (with at least 35 kg or more).

How Miracid Capsule Works

Miracid Capsule contains two medicines, namely Rabeprazole and Domperidone. Rabeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that helps reduce stomach acid by blocking the actions of an enzyme (H+/K+ ATPase or gastric proton pump). This gastric proton pump lies in the cells of the stomach wall. It is responsible for releasing gastric acid secretion and damaging tissues in the food pipe, stomach, and duodenum (uppermost part of the small intestine). On the other hand, Domperidone is a prokinetic agent that increases the motility of the upper gastrointestinal tract and blocks the vomiting-inducing centre (chemoreceptor trigger zone-CTZ).

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Avoid intake of acid or heartburn-triggering foods or drinks like onions, peppermint, chocolate, caffeinated beverages, citrus fruits or juices, tomatoes and high-fat and spicy foods.

  • Avoid taking alcohol and smoking cigarette. Alcohol can raise the level of production of stomach acid leading to heartburn and acid reflux. On the other hand, nicotine smoking damages the valve (sphincter), preventing stomach acid backflow into the food pipe.

  • Avoid regular sitting continuously, as it can increase stomach acid production. Try to take a break of 5 minutes in 1 hour by brisk walking or stretching.

  • Before going to sleep, try to raise your bedhead so that your head and chest are higher than your feet. Do not use piles of pillows, instead, one raised block is fine. This will not allow the stomach acid to backflow through your food pipe.

  • Include high fibre containing foods, berries, cherries, leafy green veggies (kale, spinach) and black peppers in your meal. These foods are full of antioxidants, calcium and vitamin B 12 that can help cope with the long-term effects of the medicine. Fermented dairy products like miso, sauerkraut, and kimchi contain probiotics which help in the prevention of excess stomach acid production. Cranberry juice can be beneficial in the peptic ulcer and H Pylori infection.
