Description
Domperidone And Omeprazole Capsules are part of a class of medications known as gastrointestinal agents, used for treating heartburn, indigestion, epigastric discomfort, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GERD), peptic ulcers, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) happens when stomach acid regularly backs up into the food pipe (oesophagus). Peptic ulcers are lesions that form on the inner lining of the stomach and intestines. Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is defined by the growth of tumours in the upper section of the small intestine, leading to excessive acid production.
How Do Domperidone And Omeprazole Capsules Work?
Domperidone And Omeprazole Capsules is a combination of two medications: Omeprazole (a proton pump inhibitor) and Domperidone (a dopamine antagonist). Omeprazole functions by inhibiting the action of an enzyme known as the gastric proton pump, which is crucial for acid production. Domperidone enhances the movements and contractions of stomach muscles. Together, Omeprazole+domperidone assists in addressing acidity.
