About VELOZ M CAPSULE

VELOZ M CAPSULE is a combination medicine prescribed to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), persistent heartburn, and indigestion. It helps relieve symptoms like chest discomfort, sour taste in the mouth, and bloating by managing excess stomach acid and improving digestion. By addressing both acid production and gut movement, it helps your digestive system function more smoothly.

For the best results, you must take VELOZ M CAPSULE consistently at the same time every day. It is typically taken once daily, in the morning on an empty stomach, at least 30 to 60 minutes before your breakfast. Making simple dietary changes, such as avoiding spicy or fatty foods and eating smaller meals, can significantly enhance the effectiveness of this medication.

Most people tolerate this medicine well, though some may experience mild side effects like headaches, dry mouth, or temporary diarrhea. While these common issues usually resolve on their own, you should seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent watery diarrhea, or signs of an allergic reaction. Always consult your doctor if any side effect becomes troublesome.

Before you start taking VELOZ M CAPSULE, it is important to discuss your complete medical history with your doctor. Do not take this if you have a known allergy to any of the ingredients in this medicine or to similar acid-reducing drugs. It is especially important to inform your healthcare provider if you have a history of bone thinning, low magnesium levels, or liver damage.

This medicine can interact with other substances, such as certain antifungal treatments, blood thinners, and iron supplements, which may reduce how well these treatments work. Avoid drinking alcohol and smoking while taking this medicine, as both can increase stomach acid production and worsen your symptoms. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, breastfeeding, or are an elderly individual, consult your doctor before starting VELOZ M CAPSULE.

How VELOZ M CAPSULE Works

VELOZ M CAPSULE combines two active therapeutic agents, rabeprazole and mosapride, that work together to restore digestive comfort. The first active ingredient, mosapride, is a prokinetic agent. It works by increasing the release of a natural chemical messenger in your gut that speeds up the movement of the stomach and intestines, helping food pass through your digestive system more quickly. The second active ingredient, rabeprazole, is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI). It works by targeting and blocking the tiny acid-producing pumps located in the lining of your stomach. By shutting down these pumps, it significantly decreases the total amount of acid your stomach secretes, allowing your oesophagus to heal and preventing the burning pain of reflux.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Eat Smaller, Frequent Meals: Eat smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day instead of three large meals to reduce pressure on your lower oesophageal sphincter.
  • Avoid Trigger Foods: Avoid foods that can worsen acid reflux, including spicy foods, citrus fruits, tomatoes, chocolate, onions, garlic, and high-fat meals.
  • Limit Caffeine, Carbonated Drinks, and Alcohol: Reduce your intake of caffeine, fizzy drinks, and alcohol, as they can increase acid production and weaken the lower oesophageal sphincter.
  • Avoid Lying Down After Meals: Do not lie down for at least 2–3 hours after eating, and avoid late-night snacks before bedtime.
  • Elevate the Head of Your Bed: Raise the head of your bed by 6–9 inches using bed risers or a wedge pillow to help prevent stomach acid from flowing back into the oesophagus while you sleep.

FAQs

VELOZ M CAPSULE is used to treat gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It is also used to treat acidity, indigestion, heartburn and peptic ulcers.
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.
Do not take VELOZ M CAPSULE for longer durations unless prescribed by the doctor. Talk to your doctor if you do not find symptomatic relief. The doctor may monitor your condition regularly if you are on long term treatment with VELOZ M CAPSULE.
