Introduction About REKOOL L 20MG TABLET
REKOOL L 20MG TABLET is a combination of Levosulpiride and Rabeprazole which belongs to the group of medicines called Dopamine D2 antagonists and Proton-pump inhibitors respectively. REKOOL L 20MG TABLET is indicated for the management of Gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD). GERD is a chronic digestive disease in which the stomach acid frequently flows into the esophagus leading to irritation and inflammation of lining of food pipe. Symptoms include heartburn, chest pain, nausea, sensation of lump in throat and stomach discomfort.
REKOOL L 20MG TABLET can also be used to manage peptic ulcer (painful sores in the gut), Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (tumors in pancreas causing the stomach to secrete more acid), functional dyspepsia (recurrent signs and symptoms of indigestion without an obvious cause) and diabetic gastroparesis (delayed gastric emptying caused due to diabetes).
Levosulpiride is a dopamine D2 antagonist that reduces acid reflux by enhancing gastric emptying (propulsion of food from the stomach to the intestines) and bowel movements and rabeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor that inhibits the secretions of stomach acid, thus leading to healing of ulcers and inflammatory lesions in the stomach and in the intestines.
Take REKOOL L 20MG TABLET preferably on an empty stomach. Avoid consumption of alcohol while taking REKOOL L 20MG TABLET as it could potentiate the CNS depressive side effects. Patients receiving long-term management (>1 year) with REKOOL L 20MG TABLET should be kept on regular surveillance, because it can increase the risk of bone fracture (i.e., in the hip, wrist, or spine) which is more predominant in the patients having osteoporosis or taking corticosteroids.
Before taking REKOOL L 20MG TABLET, inform your doctor if you have any heart, kidney, or liver disease as a precaution. REKOOL L 20MG TABLET is not recommended for use in pregnant or breastfeeding women and in children (below 18 years. The most common side effects of taking REKOOL L 20MG TABLET are nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, diarrhea, constipation, infections, cough, sore throat, or fatigue. Consult your doctor if any of these symptoms worsen.

How REKOOL L 20MG TABLET Works
REKOOL L 20MG TABLET reduces stomach ulcers, nausea, and acid reflux, where rabeprazole acts by inhibiting the secretions of stomach acid by blocking the proton pump (H+ K+ ATPase) at the secretory surface of gastric parietal cells and levosulpiride acts by blocking the dopamine D2 receptors in the CTZ (area in medulla oblongata that causes vomiting when stimulated) and in the gut, thus facilitating the movement of food from the stomach into the intestines followed by healing of ulcers or inflammatory lesions in the stomach and in the esophagus.
