HOW BLOKCID D CAPSULE WORKS

BLOKCID D CAPSULE works by reducing excess stomach acid production and managing the reflux of stomach acid into the food pipe in which Domperidone antagonizes the inhibitory effect of dopamine, resulting in stimulation of gastric muscle contraction which increases the gastric motility. And Ilaprazole works by suppressing gastric acid secretion through inhibition of the enzyme (H+/K+-ATPase) at the secretory surfaces of gastric parietal cells (responsible for gastric acid secretion).
