Sorbacid – Bottle of 200 ml Suspension

Product Introduction

Sonirab-LS Capsule SR is a combination prescription medicine used in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), intestinal ulcers, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It helps relieve symptoms such as heartburn, stomach pain, nausea, bloating, acidity, and discomfort caused by excessive acid production in the stomach or irregular movement of the intestines.

The capsule contains Rabeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces acid secretion in the stomach, and Levosulpiride, a prokinetic agent that enhances the movement of the stomach and intestines. Together, these ingredients help in the healing of ulcers, prevention of acid reflux, and relief from indigestion and irritable bowel symptoms.

Sonirab-LS Capsule SR should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually before meals. The dose and duration depend on your condition and response to treatment. Continue the medicine for the full prescribed course, even if you start feeling better, to ensure complete relief and healing. Stopping early may cause the symptoms to return.

Inform your doctor about all other medicines you are taking, especially those for heart conditions, liver problems, or depression, as they may interact with this medicine.

Benefits of Sonirab-LS Capsule SR
In Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

GERD is a chronic digestive condition where acid from the stomach frequently flows back into the esophagus, causing irritation, heartburn, and discomfort. Sonirab-LS Capsule SR reduces acid production and improves the movement of the stomach and intestines, relieving symptoms like heartburn, belching, and acid regurgitation.

In Intestinal Ulcers

Intestinal or peptic ulcers are painful sores that develop in the lining of the stomach or intestines due to excessive acid production or bacterial infection (H. pylori). This medicine lowers stomach acid levels, allowing the ulcers to heal naturally while preventing new ulcers from forming.

In Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

IBS is characterized by irregular bowel movements, bloating, and abdominal pain. Levosulpiride, present in this capsule, improves intestinal movement and reduces spasms, thereby providing significant relief from IBS-related symptoms.

How Sonirab-LS Capsule SR Works

Sonirab-LS Capsule SR contains two active ingredients:

Levosulpiride: A prokinetic agent that increases the release of acetylcholine, a chemical messenger responsible for stimulating muscle movement in the stomach and intestines. This helps prevent reflux of acid into the esophagus and aids in proper digestion.

Rabeprazole: A proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that blocks acid-producing enzymes in the stomach, reducing acid secretion and promoting healing of the stomach lining.

Together, they provide comprehensive relief from acid-related disorders by reducing acid production and improving gut motility.
