Kritcid It 20/150 MG Capsule 10 is taken orally.

Kritcid It 20/150 MG Capsule 10 contains two active elements:

• Rabeprazole sodium (20 mg): Rabeprazole reduces stomach acid production as part of the proton pump inhibitor class of medicines. It irreversibly blocks the hydrogen/potassium adenosine triphosphatase enzyme system (the proton pump) located in gastric parietal cells. By decreasing stomach acid levels, rabeprazole aids in healing oesophagal damage caused by acid reflux and ease GERD symptoms.

• Itopride hydrochloride (150 mg): Itopride acts as a prokinetic agent in the digestive system. This means it encourages the release of acetylcholine (a neurotransmitter) and restricts dopamine D2 receptors in the gut. This dual action increases contractions of the lower oesophagal sphincter (LES), improves stomach motility, and speeds gastric emptying. By promoting food movement forward and preventing the backward flow of stomach contents, itopride helps manage acid reflux.

• Store Kritcid It 20/150 MG Capsule 10 at room temperature, ideally below 25°C.

• To help manage GERD, avoid spicy, fatty, or acidic foods that can trigger heartburn.

• Maintain an upright position for at least 30 minutes after meals. This helps prevent acid reflux by keeping food and stomach acids down.
