Hyperex-SR 10 Capsules – Relief for Ulcers and Acid Reflux
Hyperex-SR is a dual-action prescription medication formulated to treat gastrointestinal conditions such as stomach ulcers, Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), and chronic gastritis. Each capsule combines Rabeprazole Sodium (20mg), a proton pump inhibitor that reduces stomach acid, and Domperidone (30mg Sustained Release), which improves gut motility for faster digestion.
What is Hyperex-SR Used For?
Hyperex-SR is primarily prescribed for conditions caused by excess stomach acid and delayed gastric emptying. It is effective for:
- Peptic and Gastric Ulcers: Helps heal the stomach lining and reduces pain.
- GERD and Heartburn: Prevents acid from flowing back into the esophagus.
- Dyspepsia (Indigestion): Relieves bloating, nausea, and discomfort after eating.
- Gastritis: Treats inflammation of the stomach lining.
How Hyperex-SR Works
The Rabeprazole in Hyperex-SR blocks the acid-producing pumps in the stomach, providing long-lasting relief from "pepperish" sensations and heartburn. The Domperidone works as a prokinetic agent, helping food move through the digestive tract more efficiently, which reduces bloating and the feeling of fullness.
