Omeprazole & Domperidone Capsules

Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) + Prokinetic Agent Anti-ulcer Medication Gastrointestinal Motility Regulator

Omeprazole & Domperidone Capsules are a combination medication used to treat acid-related gastrointestinal disorders. Omeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) that reduces the production of stomach acid, while domperidone is a dopamine antagonist that improves gastrointestinal motility and helps relieve nausea and vomiting. This combination is commonly prescribed for conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), acid reflux, gastritis, and indigestion. By reducing acid secretion and enhancing stomach movement, the medicine helps relieve symptoms like heartburn, bloating, nausea, and discomfort after meals.
