Benefits of Allocid 40 DSR Capsule
In Gastroesophageal reflux disease (Acid reflux)
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic (long-term) condition in which there is an excess
production of acid in the stomach. Allocid 40 DSR Capsule reduces the amount of acid your stomach makes
and relieves the pain associated with heartburn and acid reflux. You should take it exactly as it is
prescribed for it to be effective. Some simple lifestyle changes can help reduce the symptoms of GERD.
Think about what foods trigger heartburn and try to avoid them; eat smaller, more frequent meals; try to
lose weight if you are overweight and try to find ways to relax. Do not eat within 3-4 hours of going to
bed.
In Peptic ulcer disease
Peptic ulcer disease is a condition in which painful sores or ulcers develop in the inner lining of the
stomach or gut (intestine). Allocid 40 DSR Capsule reduces the amount of acid your stomach makes which
prevents further damage to the ulcer as it heals naturally. You may be given other medicines along with
this medicine depending on what caused the ulcer. You need to keep taking the medicine as it is
prescribed for it to be effective, even if the symptoms seem to disappear.

Rabeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) which works by reducing the amount of acid in the stomach which helps in the relief of acid-related indigestion and heartburn.
