VELOZ M CAPSULE

Question 1

How does VELOZ M CAPSULE work?

Accepted Answer

VELOZ M CAPSULE contains Rabeprazole (proton pump inhibitor) and Mosapride (prokinetic agent). Rabeprazole works by blocking the action of an enzyme called gastric proton pump responsible for stomach acid production. Mosapride works by increasing the inferior oesophageal (food pipe) sphincter pressure, thereby preventing the backflow of food and acid towards the food pipe or mouth. Together, VELOZ M CAPSULE helps in preventing acid reflux, thereby provides relief from acidity.
