MECHANISM OF ACTION:
Rabeprazole sodium belongs to the class of anti-secretory compounds, the substituted benzimidazoles, which do not exhibit anticholinergic or H2 histamine antagonist properties but suppress gastric acid secretion by the specific inhibition of the H+/K+-ATPase enzyme (the acid or proton pump). The effect is dose-related and leads to inhibition of basal and stimulated acid secretion irrespective of the stimulus. Rabeprazole is converted to the active sulphenamide form through protonation, and it subsequently reacts with the available cysteines on the proton pump. Levosulpiride is the levorotatory enantiomer of sulpiride, a benzamide derivative selectively inhibiting dopaminergic D 2 receptors both in the trigger zone in the central nervous system and the gastrointestinal tract.
