How It Works
Rapeed L Capsule combines:

• Rabeprazole (Proton Pump Inhibitor): Blocks the gastric proton pump to reduce acid production.

• Levosulpiride (Prokinetic Agent): Increases pressure in the lower oesophageal sphincter, preventing acid and food backflow.
  Together, they reduce acid reflux, promote digestion, and provide relief from heartburn and indigestion.
