Jurab-LS Capsules

Jurab-LS is a prescription medicine combining two active ingredients: Rabeprazole Sodium, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), and Levosulpiride, a prokinetic agent. Rabeprazole works by inhibiting the proton pump in the stomach, reducing acid production, which helps alleviate symptoms of acidity, heartburn, and ulcers. Levosulpiride enhances the movement of the stomach and intestines by increasing acetylcholine release, preventing acid reflux and improving digestion. This combination is effective in managing conditions like GERD, IBS, peptic ulcers, and functional dyspepsia. The enteric-coated Rabeprazole ensures targeted release in the intestines, while the sustained-release Levosulpiride provides prolonged action. It is typically prescribed for adults and should be taken under medical supervision due to potential side effects and contraindications.

• Relieves Acid Reflux and Heartburn: Reduces stomach acid production, alleviating symptoms of GERD and preventing esophageal damage.

• Treats Ulcers: Promotes healing of gastric and duodenal ulcers by reducing acid-related damage.
• Manages IBS: Alleviates symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, and irregular bowel movements in irritable bowel syndrome.
