Introduction About VELOZ D CAPSULE
VELOZ
D CAPSULE is used to manage Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
among patients who have not responded adequately to rabeprazole alone.
It is a combination of Domperidone and Rabeprazole
which belongs to the group of medicines called Dopamine Antagonists and
Proton pump inhibitors respectively. It can also be used to manage
peptic ulcers caused by H. pylori infection or NSAIDs use.
Along
management with VELOZ D CAPSULE, try to eat less spicy foods and drink
plenty of water. Avoid smoking or alcohol consumption as it may
aggravate your existing condition. Patients receiving long-term
management with the medicine should be kept on regular surveillance to
rule out the risk of hypomagnesaemia (decreased magnesium levels in
blood) and bone fracture, predominantly in the elderly patients and in
patients with other recognized risk factors.
Before taking VELOZ D
CAPSULE inform your doctor if you have any liver, kidney or heart
problems. Your doctor may reduce the dose or suggest an alternative
therapy. It is not recommended for use in pregnant or breastfeeding
women and in children (aged less than 18 years). It should be used with
caution in elderly patients (above 65 years of age). The most common
side effects are nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, diarrhea or
constipation. Consult your doctor if any of these above side effects
worsen.
How VELOZ D CAPSULE Works
VELOZ
D CAPSULE reduces stomach ulcers and acid reflux, where Rabeprazole
acts by inhibiting the secretions of stomach acid and Domperidone acts
by increasing bowel movements and facilitating gastric emptying, thus
leading to rapid symptom relief and healing of stomach ulcers and
esophageal lesions.
