Roles-D Capsule

Roles-D Capsule is a combination medicine belonging to the class of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and prokinetic agents. It is primarily used in adults to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and peptic ulcer disease by reducing stomach acid production and facilitating faster emptying of the stomach. This medication helps relieve symptoms such as heartburn, acid regurgitation, and abdominal discomfort, improving the patient's overall digestive health.

Benefits

Roles-D Capsule offers significant benefits in managing acid-related gastrointestinal disorders. By reducing stomach acid, it alleviates heartburn and prevents damage to the esophagus. The prokinetic action of domperidone helps in faster gastric emptying, reducing bloating and nausea. Long-term use, under medical supervision, can prevent complications such as esophageal ulcers and strictures. This combination promotes better digestion and enhances the quality of life for patients with chronic acid reflux and related conditions. Regular and prescribed usage can lead to sustained relief and improved overall gastrointestinal health.
