Hyperex-SR 30 Capsules: Treatment for Stomach Ulcer and Acid Reflux
Hyperex-SR is a potent combination medicine used to treat conditions caused by excess stomach acid and slow digestion. It is commonly prescribed in Nigeria for the relief of heartburn, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and peptic ulcers. Each capsule contains Rabeprazole Sodium (20mg) and Domperidone (30mg Sustained Release).
How Hyperex-SR Works for Relief
This medication uses a dual-action formula to provide fast and lasting comfort:
- Rabeprazole: A proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that significantly reduces the amount of acid produced by the stomach. This helps the stomach lining and esophagus heal from acid damage.
- Domperidone: A prokinetic agent that helps the stomach empty more efficiently. By increasing the movement of the upper digestive tract, it prevents the backflow of acid into the food pipe and reduces the feeling of fullness or nausea.
Key Benefits and Uses
- Stomach Ulcer Treatment: Helps in the healing and management of gastric and duodenal ulcers.
- Heartburn and GERD: Provides relief from the burning sensation in the chest caused by acid reflux.
- Gastritis Relief: Reduces inflammation in the stomach lining.
- Nausea and Bloating: Domperidone helps alleviate indigestion symptoms like feeling bloated or nauseous.
Important Distinction
Please note that Hyperex-SR is a gastrointestinal treatment. It should not be confused with "Hyperex Syrup," which is typically used for fever and pain relief. Always check the packaging or consult a GoMed pharmacist if you are unsure.
Dosage and Administration
Hyperex-SR is usually taken once a day. For the best results, take it in the morning on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before breakfast. Swallow the capsule whole with water; do not crush or chew it.
