What is Hyperex-SR?
Hyperex-SR is a prescription-only medication formulated to manage gastrointestinal conditions. It combines two active ingredients: Rabeprazole Sodium (20mg) and Domperidone (30mg Sustained Release).
This combination is highly effective for individuals suffering from excessive stomach acid and motility issues. The "SR" stands for Sustained Release, meaning the Domperidone is released gradually into the body to provide longer-lasting relief from symptoms like nausea and bloating.
Uses and Indications
Hyperex-SR is primarily prescribed for:
- Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Also known as acid reflux or heartburn.
- Peptic Ulcers: Sores that develop on the lining of the stomach or small intestine.
- Chronic Gastritis: Inflammation of the stomach lining.
- Dyspepsia: Relief from indigestion, bloating, and upper abdominal pain.
How It Works
The two components work together to provide comprehensive relief:
- Rabeprazole: A proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces the amount of acid produced in the stomach, allowing the lining to heal.
- Domperidone: A prokinetic agent that helps the stomach empty more efficiently and reduces the feeling of nausea or "fullness."
Dosage and Administration
Hyperex-SR should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It is typically taken once daily, preferably in the morning before a meal. Swallow the capsule whole; do not crush or chew the sustained-release pellets.
Precautions
Before taking Hyperex-SR, consult your doctor or GoMed pharmacist if you have:
- Known allergies to Rabeprazole or Domperidone.
- Severe liver or kidney disease.
- Heart conditions.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, seek medical advice before use. Maintain confidence in your digestive health by using original medications from a trusted pharmacy.
