Rekool D Capsule 15's

Rekool D 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 Rekool D Capsule

Rekool D Capsule is a prescription medication used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), acid reflux, and peptic ulcers. It helps relieve troublesome digestive symptoms such as severe heartburn, sour stomach, and upper abdominal discomfort.

To get the best results, you should take this medicine consistently every day at the same time. It is highly recommended to take Rekool D Capsule on an empty stomach, typically in the morning before breakfast, to ensure the medicine is properly absorbed. Adopting simple diet and lifestyle adjustments alongside your treatment can also greatly improve your recovery.

While taking Rekool D Capsule , some people may experience mild and temporary side effects, such as headache, dizziness, stomach discomfort, or mild digestive symptoms. If you notice any severe side effects like an irregular heart rate or signs of a serious allergic reaction, contact your doctor or seek medical care promptly.

Talk to your doctor before starting this medicine if you have liver disease, kidney problems, or heart conditions. Domperidone should generally be avoided in people with known heart rhythm problems, prolonged QT interval (a type of abnormal heart rhythm), low potassium or magnesium levels, or those taking medicines that can affect heart rhythm. Do not take this medicine if you have an allergy to any of its components, a pituitary gland tumour, gastrointestinal bleeding, blockage, or perforation.

This medicine can interact with certain other treatments, such as specific blood thinners, antifungals, or anti-HIV drugs, by altering how they work or are cleared from your body.

How Rekool D Capsule Works

Rekool D Capsule works through a combination of two active medicines that target different parts of your digestive system to restore comfort. The first active component is rabeprazole, which belongs to a class of medications called proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). Rabeprazole acts on acid-producing cells in your stomach lining by blocking the tiny 'acid pumps' that release acid. You can think of it like turning down a tap that controls acid production in your stomach, helping reduce acidity and relieve acid-related symptoms. The second active component is domperidone, a medicine that helps reduce nausea and improves the movement of food through your stomach. It works by blocking certain chemical signals in the gut and the vomiting centre that trigger nausea and vomiting. Unlike some other medicines that act on these signals, domperidone has limited entry into the brain, which lowers the risk of effects such as drowsiness or movement-related side effects.

Drug-Drug Interactions
Inform your doctor if you are taking any of the following medicines, as they may interact.

  • Medicines that interfere with the liver's natural way of breaking down medicines, such as ketoconazole, clarithromycin, erythromycin, and some antifungal or antiviral medicines, can increase domperidone levels and raise the risk of abnormal heart rhythms. These combinations may need to be avoided.
  • Rabeprazole may affect how some medicines are processed by the liver. It may reduce the activation and effectiveness of clopidogrel, a medicine used to prevent blood clots. Inform your doctor if you are taking clopidogrel, as an alternative acid-reducing medicine or monitoring may be considered. Rabeprazole may also interact with warfarin in some patients, and your doctor may recommend monitoring when both medicines are used together.
  • May reduce the absorption and effectiveness of certain antifungals (such as ketoconazole) and anti-HIV medications (like atazanavir) that require stomach acid to work.
  • May alter the levels of heart medicines like digoxin in your blood, which may require monitoring by your doctor.

FAQs

Rekool D Capsule is used to treat Gastro-Esophagal Reflux Disease (GERD), acid reflux, heartburn, peptic ulcer, stomach ulcers, and dyspepsia (stomach discomfort due to indigestion). It works by blocking the actions of the gastric proton pump, increasing the motility of the upper gastrointestinal tract and blocking the vomiting-inducing centre (chemoreceptor trigger zone-CTZ).

No. Rekool D Capsule prevents excess production of stomach acid causing acid reflux and heartburn. If blood is coming in your stool or mucous immediately contact the doctor.

Yes, Rekool D Capsule can cause dry mouth and it is due to domperidone. In case you fell excessive thirsty, please increase your fluid intake and do frequent mouth rinses.

Diarrhoea might be a side-effect of Rekool D Capsule . Drink enough fluids and eat non-spicy food if you experience diarrhoea. Consult your doctor if you have severe diarrhoea or any other discomfort.

Avoid lying down immediately after meals to prevent acid reflux. Raise the head of the bed 10-20cm by putting on a pillow so that the head and chest are above the waist. This helps in preventing acid reflux.

Rekool D Capsule is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to domperidone or rabeprazole or any other inactive ingredients of Rekool D Capsule . Rekool D Capsule should be used with caution in patients with underlying liver or kidney disease.

Store Rekool D Capsule at room temperature in a cool and dry place protected from light. Keep it out of reach of children.

The time taken for Rekool D Capsule to work may vary depending on the specific formulation prescribed. Domperidone may help improve nausea and stomach discomfort relatively quickly, while rabeprazole usually requires regular daily use for a few days to achieve maximum acid control. If your symptoms do not improve or worsen despite treatment, consult your doctor.

Rekool D Capsule is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless your doctor decides that the benefits outweigh the potential risks. The active ingredients can pass into breast milk and may affect your baby. Talk to your doctor to discuss safer alternatives.

Common side effects may include headache, dizziness, stomach discomfort, gas, or mild digestive symptoms. These effects are usually temporary. If symptoms become severe or persistent, talk to your doctor.
