About Pregard-Dsr Capsule

Pregard-Dsr Capsule belongs to the class of drugs known as Proton pump inhibitors, which reduce the amount of acid your stomach produces. It treats gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), stomach ulcers, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (overproduction of acid due to a pancreatic tumour), duodenal ulcers, gastric ulcers, and Crohn’s disease-associated ulcers.

Pregard-Dsr Capsule helps reduce stomach acid by blocking the action of an enzyme (H+/K+ ATPase, also known as the gastric proton pump), thus preventing the release of stomach acid and relieving symptoms of food pipe lining inflammation (esophagitis), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or heartburn.

Not everyone who is taking Pregard-Dsr Capsule will get these side effects. Pregard-Dsr Capsule may have common side effects, such as headache, diarrhoea, nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, dizziness, and joint pain. These side effects are temporary and may resolve on their own over time. However, if these side effects persist, don't hesitate to contact your doctor.

Take Pregard-Dsr Capsule as advised. Your physician will decide the dosage based on your medical condition. You should take Pregard-Dsr Capsule 30 minutes before food. It is recommended not to exceed the recommended dose of Pregard-Dsr Capsule . Do not chew, crush, or break the medicine.

Inform your physician if you are allergic to Pregard-Dsr Capsule . Tell your doctor if you have stomach or intestinal cancer, liver problems, are allergic to Pregard-Dsr Capsule  or will have an endoscopy in the future. Prolonged intake of Pregard-Dsr Capsule may cause a deficiency of Vitamin B12 and low levels of calcium, magnesium and Vitamin D, leading to osteoporosis. Pregard-Dsr Capsule is not recommended for children below 5 years of age. Consult the doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Uses of Pregard-Dsr Capsule

Pregard-Dsr 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 Pregard-Dsr Capsule are as follows:
• Support Digestive Health: Pregard-Dsr Capsule help alleviate digestive discomfort, promoting a balanced and regular digestive system.
• Reduce Gastrointestinal Disorders: Pregard-Dsr Capsule provides relief from various gastrointestinal issues, such as gas, bloating, and irregular bowel movements.
• Relieve Indigestion: Pregard-Dsr Capsule offers quick relief from indigestion and related symptoms, soothing the stomach and enhancing overall comfort.

Directions for Use

• Take Pregard-Dsr Capsule one hour before a meal or as advised by your doctor. • Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication. • Swallow Pregard-Dsr Capsule as a whole with a glass of water. • Do not crush, chew or break it.

Medicinal Benefits

  • Pregard-Dsr Capsule is effective in healing erosive esophagitis (inflammation of the food pipe), heartburn, Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, duodenal ulcers, gastric ulcers, and Crohn’s disease-associated ulcers.
  • Pregard-Dsr Capsule works by irreversibly blocking the proton pump gate, which secretes stomach acid. It can be prescribed to all age groups, including special populations like the elderly, pregnant, lactating mothers, and patients with kidney and liver disease.
  • Pregard-Dsr Capsule helps manage acidity-related conditions, promotes digestion, and provides relief from associated discomfort.

How Pregard-Dsr Capsule Works

Pregard-Dsr Capsule contains two medicines, namely Rabeprazole and Domperidone. Rabeprazole 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 increases the motility of the upper gastrointestinal tract and blocks the vomiting-inducing centre (chemoreceptor trigger zone-CTZ).

Drug Warnings

  • Avoid taking Pregard-Dsr Capsule if you are allergic to Pregard-Dsr Capsule or have any history of gastric cancer, liver disease, low magnesium levels, or low vitamin B1.
  • Prolonged intake of Pregard-Dsr Capsule may cause lupus erythematosus (an inflammatory condition in which the immune system attacks its own tissues), vitamin B12, and magnesium deficiency.
  • Pregard-Dsr Capsule may interact with blood thinners, antifungals, anti-HIV drugs, iron supplements, and anti-cancer medications. Please inform your doctor if you are taking any of these medications.
  • Intake of Pregard-Dsr Capsule may mask the symptoms of gastric cancer, so if you have any severe stomach pain or blood in stool, immediately consult the doctor.
  • It is advised to stop consuming alcohol and smoking, as it can cause serious side effects. This medicine is not recommended for use in children below 16 years of age.
  • Avoid caffeine-containing beverages (coffee, tea), spicy/deep-fried/processed foods, carbonated drinks, and acidic foods like citrus fruits/vegetables (tomatoes).
  • Although Pregard-Dsr Capsule is safe for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding, inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before starting treatment with Pregard-Dsr Capsule . Let your doctor know if you are taking any other medicines, including supplements and herbal products, to prevent any interactions.
  • Store Pregard-Dsr Capsule at room temperature. Keep the medicine out of reach of children. Do not take more than the recommended dose of medicine, as it can cause undesirable effects.
  • It is always important to check the expiry date of the medicine. Discard the medicine if it reaches the expiry date.

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.
