Description
Domperidone + Omeprazole Capsules is a type of medicine that helps with stomach problems. It is used to treat heartburn, upset stomach, pain in the upper abdomen, acid reflux, stomach ulcers, and a condition called Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) happens when stomach acid often comes back up into the tube that connects the mouth to the stomach (the esophagus). Peptic ulcers are painful spots that form on the inside walls of the stomach and intestine.This causes the body to make too much stomach acid.
Domperidone + Omeprazole Capsules is a mix of two medicines: Omeprazole, which helps reduce stomach acid, and Domperidone, which helps with nausea and vomiting. Omeprazole helps reduce acid in the stomach by stopping a protein that makes acid. Domperidone helps the stomach muscles move and contract more. OMEPRAZOLE and DOMPERIDONE work together to help treat acidity.
