RABEPRAZOLE:
It belongs to the class of antisecretory compounds, the substituted benzimidazoles, that suppress gastric acid secretion by the specific inhibition of the H+/K+-ATPase enzyme at the secretory surface of the gastric parietal cell and hence are called proton pump blockers.

Indication of RABEPRAZOLE:

Drug Interactions
Co-administration of rebeprazole sodium results in a 33% decrease in ketoconazole levels and a 22% increase in trough digoxin levels in normal subjects.

ITOPRIDE HYDROCHLORIDE:
Itopride inhibits the dopamine D2 receptor at the parasympathetic nerve ends and thereby increases the release of acetycholine and decreases the metabolism of acetylcholine by inhibiting the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE). By maintaining higher acetylcholine levels, itopride increases the esophageal and gastrointestinal peristalsis, increases the lower esophageal sphincter pressure, stimulates gastric motility, accelerates gastric emptying and improves gastro-duodenal coordination. Because of its dopamine D2 receptor antagonistic action, it also exerts anti-emetic actions.

Indication of ITOPRIDE HYDROCHLORIDE:
Treatment of gastrointestinal symptoms caused by reduced gastrointestinal motility such as feeling of gastric fullness, epigastric pain, anorexia, heartburn, regurgitation, bloating, nausea and vomiting.

Special Precautions
Should be used with caution as it enhances the action of acetylcholine.
